What have been the primary factors driving the industrial hemp market’s growth?
The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products is expected to propel the growth of the industrial hemp market going forward. Sustainable and eco-friendly products are goods designed to minimize environmental impact by using renewable resources, reducing waste, and promoting ecological balance. The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products is due to growing environmental awareness, regulatory pressures, consumer preference for green alternatives, and corporate commitments to reducing carbon footprints. Industrial hemp is known for its ability to grow rapidly with minimal resources. It requires fewer pesticides and herbicides than conventional crops, reducing chemical runoff and soil degradation. For instance, in March 2023, according to the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business (CSB), a US-based academic research center, sustainability-marketed products gained market share despite high inflation in 2022, making up 17.3% of purchases compared to conventionally marketed products, an increase of 0.3% from 2021. Therefore, the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products drives the industrial hemp market.

How will emerging trends drive the industrial hemp market throughout the forecast period?
Major companies operating in the industrial hemp market are focused on developing innovative products, such as biochar derived from industrial hemp, to sequester carbon, improve soil health, and generate revenue through carbon credits while supporting sustainable agriculture. Biochar derived from industrial hemp enhances soil fertility and carbon sequestration, providing a sustainable solution that benefits both agriculture and the environment within the industrial hemp market. For instance, in June 2024, Hempalta Corp., a Canada-based agricultural technology company, launched a biochar. This product is a carbon-rich material produced from organic matter, such as industrial hemp, through pyrolysis, which involves heating biomass at high temperatures in an oxygen-limited environment to trap carbon. This results in a product that enhances soil fertility and health by increasing organic carbon, improving water retention, and promoting beneficial microbial activity. It also converts agricultural waste into a valuable resource that allows farmers to monetize their efforts through carbon credits, as biochar qualifies for carbon removal initiatives. This finds versatile applications in landscaping, construction as part of hempcrete, and environmental remediation, making it an eco-friendly solution that supports agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation.
