Competitive Landscape
Numerous domestic and international companies substantially dominate the legal cannabis industry in Australia. Local businesses are concentrating their efforts on extending their geographic reach, domestic exports, and customers. Regional businesses are receiving money from international players to improve their positions in Australia’s legal cannabis industry. The following are some significant advancements in Australia’s legal cannabis industry:
- Cann Group, an active participant in the Australian medicinal cannabis business, has revealed its unaudited sales statistics for fiscal year 2023, demonstrating exceptional growth. Unaudited operational revenue of about $13.5 million is what the firm anticipates, which is a significant rise of 111% over the prior fiscal year. Strong market demand, notably for items made of dried flowers, which grew by an incredible 500% from the previous year, is what’s driving this large increase in income. The domestic market has been the main driver of the remarkable rise in revenue, with Cann Group effectively capturing new clients and negotiating supply agreements with a number of old clients.
