In recent years, the liberation for the use of cannabis in the medical industry has created various growth opportunities in Southeast Asian countries.Growing legal jurisdictions have enabled the progress of research activities in countries, such as South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

Also, various international companies have shown interest in effective market strategies.The companies have strategically enhanced their operational activities by partnering with local players.

For instance, a Canadian market player, Canopy Growth, has expanded its production in South Korea and Thailand.Similarly, MYM Nutraceuticals has expanded its business through its subsidiary MYM Australia.

Such expansions by the companies are expected to drive the cannabis market in the region.

Thailand is among the largest producers of cannabis.In late 2018, it became a cannabis production hub for legalized medical cannabis.

In addition, in December 2018, the military of Thailand voted to legalize medical cannabis use and in February 2019, Thailand legalized medical use of cannabis.Similarly, in January 2019, the Philippine House of Representatives approved the legalization of cannabis in the Philippines.
