Concentrates Segment
The concentrates segment within the Cannabis Seeds Market, by product type, is estimated to be growing at the fastest rate from 2022-2029. This is majorly due to the varied number of forms in which concentrates let one experience cannabis in a multitude of ways, such as shatter, rosin, wax, crumble, oil, dabs and tinctures. Concentrates also offer a wide variety of delivery methods, such as smoking, vaping, dabbing, ingestion and tinctures, which further aid their market growth.
