Canadian Cannabis Still Dominates Australian Medical Market as Thai Imports and Domestic Supply Rise
Canada supplied 61% of Australia's medical cannabis imports in 2025, even as Thai shipments and local production gained ground.
Canadian exporters accounted for 61% of all medical cannabis imported by Australia in 2025, according to the country's cannabis regulator. The data shows Canada remains the dominant foreign supplier while imports from Thailand increase and Australian domestic supply expands.
Canada continues to lead Australia's medical cannabis import market, supplying 61% of all product brought into the country in 2025, according to the latest figures from Australia's cannabis regulator.
The data indicates that while Canadian product remains the primary source for Australian patients, the market is becoming more diversified. Imports from Thailand have increased, and domestic Australian cultivation is also expanding its share of supply.
The shifting import mix reflects broader changes in the global medical cannabis trade, as newer producing countries such as Thailand build export capacity and Australia invests in local production to complement imported product.
