Singapore, known for the world's most stringent drug laws, is also funding research projects on medical treatments containing synthetically derived compounds of the cannabis plant. In 2017, the government-run National Research Foundation launched a program to research the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids.
CBD Market Regional Analysis
The Americas dominate the global CBD market, owing to the increasing consumption of cannabis-based products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the consumption of marijuana has an annual prevalence rate of nearly 2.5% of the global population, i.e., approximately 147 million individuals. It is also reported that approximately 22.2 million Americans of 12 years of age and older use cannabis and related products for various reasons.
Europe holds the second largest market share due to the rising awareness about clinical applications of cannabis. CBD is legal and can be openly marketed in certain European countries, for instance, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, and the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency issued the ‘free certificate of sale’ for the CBD products. Thus, such approvals and consideration by the regulatory agencies in Europe are driving the CBD market growth in the region. In spite of the approvals and considerations, there are positive restrictions associated with the use of the products. For instance, in 2013, medical cannabis was legalized in the Czech Republic, but it was limited to 180 grams of dry matter per month. In Europe, marijuana and cannabis laws differ from country to country. Previously, Germany was importing medical cannabis from other countries, but in 2017, Germany passed a law to expand access to medical cannabis and to allow domestic production. Increasing participation of various companies such as Medical Marijuana Inc., as a scope of development, announced the formation of Canipa Holdings in Romania, European Union.

Recently, China has legalized the cultivation of CBD (Hemp) and extraction for the derived product. The products are exported and not sold in China. Yunnan provincial government and Public Security Bureau approved the first industrial hemp plant extraction factory in China. It is the largest country in terms of area, population, businesses, and others. The entry of Chinese companies in the CBD market has created a great potential for expansion and growth. In Asia-Pacific, cannabis-based products are completely unacceptable. But due to the increasing cases of epilepsy, cannabis-based products are prescribed by some physicians. For instance, a recent Australian nationwide survey of 976 people with epilepsy indicated that 13% of the parents were using illicit cannabis extracts to manage their child’s seizures. Australia mainly focuses on the medical use of cannabis products. Australian regulatory agencies are operating on providing a guideline for the use of the CBD products. This is expected to help in the growth of the CBD market in Australia.
The Middle East and Africa is expected to witness a restricted growth due to stringent government policies, adverse effects associated with cannabis, and the illegal use of marijuana. In the Middle East, few of the Arab countries are imposing trick laws over the use and handling of cannabis-related products. Thus, the CBD market in these regions has limited scope for growth during the forecast period.

Meningococcal Vaccines Market has a demand for USD 172 Million doses in 2019. Further, the global estimated supply in 2019 is expected to be 203 Million doses.
Market Synopsis
Meningococcal meningitis is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitides. Disease incidence is high in West and Central Africa, where historically, serogroup A has been the most important cause of disease. More recently, meningitis outbreaks have gradually been associated with serogroup C, and to a lesser extent, serogroup W.
The meningococcal vaccines market is complex and diverse, with regional variations in serogroup distribution with substantial use outside routine immunization. The vaccine has approximately 29 marketed products targeting various combinations of the six serogroups (A, B, C, W, X, Y).
Market Influencer
Without an increase in production, the existing supply of conjugate MenACWY will be inadequate to meet the demand generated by the rising incidence of serogroups C and W, and the low availability of polysaccharide vaccines. Further, several multivalent, conjugate vaccines by Chinese and Indian manufacturers are in the pipeline, and, if prequalified they will be registered for use in many geographies. Moreover, if they are made available at acceptable prices it could increase global demand in Meningococcal Vaccines Market.
Market Drivers
  • Rise in prevalence of the meningococcal disease
    • According to a document published by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, in 2017, there were approximately 350 cases of meningococcal disease reported. The disease has an incidence rate of 0.11 cases per 100,000 people in the United States. Any population group can be affected by the disease, with maximum prevalence in children younger than one-year-old and a second peak in adolescence. Adolescents and young adults, ranging from 16 to 23 years old, have the highest rates of meningococcal disease.
    • Further, increasing incidence of meningococcal disease in West and Central Africa regions is expected to drive the demand in the African region
  • Booming mortality of the meningococcal disease is leading to increasing demand for the vaccines
    • Approximately 10 to 15 in 100 people affected with meningococcal disease will face mortality. Further, up to 1 in 5 survivors will have long-term disabilities, such as loss of limb, deafness, and damage to the nervous system brain among others
  • Escalating positive results with the vaccines to boost the demand in the market
  • Growing research and development activities by prominent players in the industry
