Cannabis - Adult Use & Medical
Cannabis for medical and adult use purposes continue to build momentum across both global and U.S. markets. As the premier cannabis economics firm in the United States, Whitney Economics provides economic analysis and growth projections, and updates its outlook regularly, based upon the dynamic environment and ongoing learning. Analyses include both legal and illicit markets. Additionally, Whitney Economics provides detailed supply chain analyses of cannabis verticals for Multi-State Operators (MSOs), Cultivators, Processors, Manufacturers and Retailers.
Aggregating and building data sets parsed from states and federal regulators, from hemp cultivators and processors, and through FOIA act requests for years, Whitney Economics has the tools and insight to perform detailed licensure analysis across a variety of segments, including how, for example, women-owned or BIPOC-owned cannabis retail organizations are responding to a rapidly changing cannabis marketplace.

Hemp - CBD, Fiber & Grain
Hemp is the sleeping giant of the cannabis industry. I am sometimes quoted for saying, "cannabis is sexy, but hemp is transformational." The amount of product innovation around hemp is staggering, and the appetite for hemp-based industrial products continues to grow. In the global marketplace, as is the case in U.S. markets, hemp innovation is challenged by an immature supply chain, which spans the entire industry, from cultivation, processing and manufacturing, to retail and ultimately the consumer's willingness and enthusiasm for adopting hemp-based products.
Aggregating raw data through direct surveys to hemp cultivators and processors, Whitney Economics is creating the baseline data for understanding the nascent hemp industry and its growing set of verticals. CBD has dominated the early hemp industry, from a revenue perspective, but the potential of hemp fiber and hemp seed to transform industries, from energy, construction and automotive to ranching and agriculture, is being unlocked.
