Germany’s medical cannabis sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing patient adoption, expanded physician prescribing, and broadening pharmacy distribution. In Q3 2024 alone, Germany imported 20,000 kilograms of medical cannabis. This was more than double the quarterly average prior to the April 2024 regulatory reforms and demonstrated surging demand for compliant pharmaceutical cannabis products¹.

HYTN anticipates the arrival of the initial cultivation batches for GMP processing in Q2 2025, with the first shipments to Germany expected in late Q2 2025.
