Asia Pacific Cannabis Testing Market Research Report



Asia-Pacific Cannabis Testing Market was worth USD 180 million in 2016 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 11.6%, to reach USD 312 million by 2021.


Cannabis Testing methods define various methods for detecting cannabis usage in the fields of sport, law and medicine. Some of the tests used for detection are blood testing, urine testing, hair testing and saliva testing. Discerning the usage of cannabis usually requires a lot of time, no matter which method is used. Tests like Duquenois-Levine can detect the usage of cannabis in a short amount of time, but the test is unreliable since it gives false positive for other substances as well.

Cannabis use by urine testing can be detected 2-5 days after usage in infrequent users and about 15 days in heavy users. Blood testing is not used often as it is invasive, it can detect usage within 12-24 hours of use in infrequent users and in heavy users it can detect in 7 days window after usage. By hair testing usage can be discerned even after 90 days of usage and main advantage of this method being detection of concentrations as low as 1 pg/mg of sample. By saliva testing, abuse can be discerned in a window of 3 days, but it can detect compounds having concentration even in the range of 0.5 ng/mL.


The key driving factors of Asia-Pacific Cannabis testing market are rising accidents under cannabis intoxication, cannabis legalisation in some regions for medical and recreational purposes, growing usage of LIMS, increasing number of seminars and conferences to increase awareness about these tests and growing number of cannabis testing laboratories among others. However, this market is constrained by limited number of skilled professionals, high price of instruments for testing cannabis usage, and presence of alternative technologies.
