In 2025, the Belgian cannabis market continues to grow, with the medical cannabis category leading the way, growing in low single digits. This growth is fuelled by the increasing recognition of Sativex, alongside renewed interest in Epidiolex, which - despite limited pharmacy distribution - remains legally prescribable and is gaining traction among neurologists for treating severe epilepsy. The category’s expansion is further supported by Belgium’s cautious but evolving regulatory stance, which permits cannabinoid-based medicines with marketing authorisation, while maintaining strict controls on broader cannabis formats and CBD supplements. The CBD category remains the largest in size, with flower CBD generating almost half of the total revenue in the market. CBD continued showing positive growth in 2025, led by the topicals subcategory, which managed to successfully leverage the health and wellness trend. The vapour subcategory experienced a strong hit after the ban on disposable vapes in Belgium in 2025. Meanwhile, adult-use cannabis remains illegal in Belgium, legalisation is not anticipated in the near future due to a complex political environment, which in turn contributes to the growth of the illicit market.
