📈🇨🇿 Czechia's medical cannabis market grew 46% in 2025—the strongest year since 2021, led by general practitioner reform

Full-year SÚKL data confirms the GP reform partially worked: prescribing doctors rose 28% to 305 last year, as flower grew 35% (233 kg → 313 kg) and the extract market more than doubled (30 → 76 kg).

Here's what the numbers reveal about Czech supply and market structure:


👩‍⚕️ The GP reform partially delivered—but domestic demand still lacks scale

The April 2025 reform allowing general practitioners to prescribe for chronic pain showed immediate results. At least 40 new general medicine prescribers appeared in public data for the first time.

The steepest monthly jump came between May and June (241 → 279 prescribers), right after reform implementation. Neurology still leads with 86 prescribers (33% share), but the base is diversifying.


👨‍🌾 Domestic producers now anchor supply

Czech-grown, EU-GMP certified flower saw the bulk of product launches.
Lagom Pharmatech exports to Germany via Drapalin Pharmaceuticals GmbH and supplies the local market through Czech Medical Herbs.

SensiQure runs its own line in Czech pharmacies and German partnerships with nimbus health GmbH and Phyto Hemp.

ELKOPLAST CZ, Ecogrow, or Zenplanto complete the domestic base.


🚛 New entrants secured supply for 2025–2026.

Rua Bioscience (New Zealand) launched through Motagon in September as New Garden Pharma and CANNERALD®announced prospective entries.

Local distributors Czech Medical Herbs, Motagon, and Astrasana Holding AG now anchor supply chains, connecting domestic and international producers to a pharmacy network that grew from 127 to 163 outlets.


🌍 Czechia is now a European reprocessing hub.

Bottlenecks elsewhere pushed Czech operators to pivot beyond production and distribution: import, reprocessing, and re-export are scaling fast.

Over 2 tonnes were exported to Germany in the last year. Canadian trade data shows close to 10 tonnes imported from North America.

The infrastructure built for domestic supply is now increasingly serving cross-border demand. Beyond medical cannabis, Czechia is emerging as a European hub for CBD and psychomodulating substances.

Regulatory clarity for ≤1% THC is attracting businesses from Italy and Spain—and serving as an entry point for hemp-derived cannabinoid suppliers.


🍻 2026 outlook: decriminalisation meets scaled medical.

From 1 January 2026, adults can grow up to 3 plants and hold 100 g at home. The medical channel is showing scale potential: 390 kg dispensed to over 4,000 patients, 305 prescribers, a diversifying product mix, and the launch of the country’s first digital clinic.


Will Czechia’s medical market scale domestically—or will operators increasingly pivot to international trading? Let me know in the comments!
