The cannabis industry stands at a pivotal crossroads in 2025, with global market projections reaching $151.72 billion by 2033 and European markets expanding rapidly following Germany’s landmark legalization. As cannabis businesses navigate evolving regulations, consumer preferences, and competitive landscapes, staying ahead of industry trends isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for survival. This November 7-9, 2025, Cannafest Prague 2025 returns to PVA Expo Prague Letňany for its 15th anniversary edition, bringing together 250 international exhibitors and thousands of industry professionals to showcase the innovations shaping the future of cannabis.
From sustainable packaging breakthroughs to smart technology integration, this year’s event reveals seven unmissable trends that will define cannabis business success in the coming years. Whether you’re a dispensary owner, product manufacturer, or distributor, understanding these trends—and connecting with solution providers like Jarsking—will position your business for sustainable growth in Europe’s dynamic cannabis market.
Cannafest Prague has established itself as Europe’s premier cannabis trade show since its founding in 2009, and the 2025 edition marks a significant milestone as the event celebrates its 15th anniversary. Taking place November 7-9, 2025, at PVA Expo Prague Letňany, this year’s show expands to an impressive 15,000 square meters of exhibition space—a 50% increase from the previous year’s 10,000 square meters. The numbers tell a compelling story: the 2024 edition attracted 21,863 total visitors, including 8,235 international attendees from over 30 countries, alongside 226 exhibitors (172 of whom were international). For 2025, organizers project approximately 250 exhibitors representing multiple continents, making this the largest gathering of cannabis industry professionals in Central Europe.
What sets Cannafest apart from other cannabis trade shows is its comprehensive B2B focus combined with educational depth. The event features a professional conference running throughout all three days in the PVA Expo conference hall, offering free admission to all ticket holders and featuring international speakers including doctors, scientists, patients, lawyers, activists, and breeders. This year’s programming includes exciting new additions: the Hemp Beer Festival showcasing beverage innovations, the Glass Blowing Show demonstrating artisan techniques, the Cannafest Market featuring direct vendor sales, and the return of Cannafest Cinema after several years. The show operates from 11:00-20:00 on Friday and Saturday, with Sunday hours from 11:00-18:00, providing ample time for meaningful business connections.
Prague’s strategic position as a Central European hub offers unique advantages for cannabis businesses targeting emerging EU markets. With Germany’s recent legalization creating unprecedented demand for compliant products and Eastern European countries progressively updating their cannabis policies, Cannafest serves as the gateway for suppliers seeking to establish partnerships across these expanding markets.
Search data reveals that European cannabis businesses increase their queries for “B2B cannabis events” and “cannabis trade shows Europe” by over 300% during Q3-Q4 as they plan year-end sourcing and strategy for the following year. The show’s emphasis on medical cannabis applications aligns perfectly with Europe’s regulatory landscape, where medical use continues to drive market growth and consumer acceptance.
Sustainable packaging has evolved from a marketing advantage to a business imperative in the cannabis industry, driven by both consumer demand and regulatory pressure. Industry research indicates that 72% of consumers actively prefer brands offering eco-friendly packaging options, with millennials and Gen Z demographics willing to pay premium prices for products that demonstrate environmental responsibility. This consumer preference directly impacts purchasing decisions, particularly in European markets where environmental consciousness runs significantly higher than in North America.
Beyond consumer preferences, state and national governments across Europe are implementing mandatory environmental regulations that penalize excessive packaging waste, requiring cannabis businesses to adopt sustainable solutions or face substantial fines and potential license complications.
The cannabis industry’s sustainability challenge is particularly acute because product compliance requirements—child resistance, opacity, tamper evidence—have historically relied on excessive plastic packaging. This creates a differentiation opportunity: brands that successfully balance regulatory compliance with environmental responsibility stand out in increasingly crowded markets where product quality alone no longer guarantees success. Forward-thinking businesses recognize that sustainable packaging investments pay dividends through enhanced brand reputation, customer loyalty, and long-term cost savings as material prices for virgin plastics continue rising.
The packaging materials landscape has transformed dramatically, with innovative alternatives now offering performance comparable to traditional plastics while significantly reducing environmental impact. Hemp-based bioplastics and biopolymers lead this revolution, utilizing the cannabis plant itself to create packaging materials that are renewable, biodegradable, and often compostable within commercial facilities. These materials demonstrate particular promise because they close the sustainability loop—packaging cannabis products with cannabis-derived materials creates a circular economy model that resonates strongly with environmentally conscious consumers.
Recycled paper and cardboard solutions have advanced beyond simple boxes to include sophisticated designs incorporating child-resistant mechanisms while maintaining structural integrity throughout the supply chain. These solutions work particularly well for secondary packaging, reducing plastic usage by 40-60% compared to all-plastic designs. Compostable pouches manufactured from plant-based polymers now serve edibles and flower markets effectively, offering moisture barriers and resealability without petroleum-based materials. Manufacturers have also developed soy-based inks and water-soluble adhesives that ensure entire packaging systems qualify for recycling programs, eliminating the contamination issues that previously prevented cannabis packaging from entering mainstream recycling streams.
Glass alternatives represent another significant innovation area, with UV-resistant, infinitely recyclable containers gaining popularity for premium flower and concentrate products. While traditional concerns about glass weight and breakage remain valid, new manufacturing techniques produce lighter-weight glass that maintains protection while reducing transportation emissions. The premium perception associated with glass packaging justifies higher price points, making sustainability a profit-enhancing rather than profit-reducing choice for many brands.
Attendees can examine European brands that have successfully transitioned to sustainable packaging, with documented results showing waste reduction of 40-60% while maintaining regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. These real-world examples provide actionable blueprints for businesses considering sustainable transitions, including supplier recommendations, cost analyses, and consumer response data. The conference programming includes sessions on environmental regulations coming into effect across EU member states in 2026-2027, giving businesses advance notice to adjust sourcing strategies before compliance deadlines.
Cannabis packaging has evolved far beyond its primary function of product containment to become a critical digital interface between brands and consumers. QR code integration now allows customers to instantly access Certificates of Analysis (COAs), complete product lineage information, cultivation methods, and even harvest dates by simply scanning packaging with their smartphones.
This transparency addresses the trust deficit that has historically challenged cannabis markets, where consumers lack reliable methods to verify product claims and quality standards. European markets particularly value this verification capability, as medical cannabis patients and quality-conscious consumers demand detailed information about cannabinoid profiles, terpene content, and laboratory testing results.
Near Field Communication (NFC) tags embedded in premium packaging provide even more sophisticated functionality, enabling anti-counterfeiting verification through blockchain-backed authentication systems. These tags allow brands to combat the counterfeit market that costs the legitimate cannabis industry billions annually while protecting consumers from potentially dangerous fake products.
Temperature-controlled containers with digital monitoring capabilities have emerged for concentrate and edible products requiring specific storage conditions, alerting both retailers and consumers when products have experienced temperature excursions that might compromise quality or safety.
Tamper-evident smart seals with tracking capabilities provide supply chain visibility, enabling brands to monitor product movement from production facility through distribution channels to final sale.
The modern cannabis consumer expects the same transparency and digital engagement from cannabis products that they receive from other premium consumer goods. Younger demographics particularly value the ability to verify product origins, review detailed cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and access brand storytelling through packaging-integrated digital content.
This expectation aligns perfectly with European Union track-and-trace compliance requirements that mandate comprehensive product monitoring across borders. Search behavior data reveals that cannabis businesses dramatically increase queries for “track and trace packaging” and “cannabis product authentication” by 500% when preparing for new market entries, indicating that digital packaging capabilities have become prerequisites for market access rather than optional enhancements.
Smart packaging also enables unprecedented customer engagement opportunities that extend far beyond the initial purchase. Brands utilize QR codes to direct consumers to exclusive content, loyalty programs, educational resources, and community platforms, transforming packaging from a disposable container into an ongoing relationship-building tool. Analytics from QR code scans provide valuable consumer behavior insights—which products generate the most engagement, what information consumers seek most frequently, and how packaging design impacts scanning rates. These data points inform everything from product development to marketing strategies, making smart packaging a critical business intelligence tool.
Child-resistant packaging has transitioned from a best practice to an absolute legal requirement across European cannabis markets, with regulations becoming increasingly stringent and enforcement more aggressive. The European Union has broadly adopted ISO 8317:2015 standards as the baseline requirement for child-resistant packaging, which specifies both the performance criteria and testing methodologies that packaging must satisfy. This international standard requires that packaging be sufficiently difficult for children under five years old to open within specified time frames while remaining accessible to adults, including seniors and individuals with limited dexterity.
However, individual EU member states maintain variations in their specific implementation and additional requirements beyond the baseline ISO 8317 standards. Germany’s medical cannabis program requires certified child-resistant packaging for all cannabis products regardless of THC content, with documentation of testing results maintained by licensed dispensaries. The Netherlands applies child-resistant requirements to both medical and tolerated recreational products sold through coffeeshops, while Switzerland’s regulations focus specifically on CBD products exceeding 1% THC content. These jurisdiction-specific variations create complexity for businesses seeking to distribute products across multiple European markets, making packaging selection a critical strategic decision.
The consequences of non-compliance are severe and increasing across Europe. Regulatory agencies can impose substantial fines ranging from €10,000 to €100,000 depending on the violation severity and jurisdiction, mandate expensive product recalls that damage brand reputation and consumer trust, and in serious cases, suspend or revoke business licenses altogether. Third-party testing and certification by recognized laboratories has become mandatory in most European markets, requiring businesses to invest in proper documentation and maintain compliance records demonstrating that their packaging meets ISO 8317 and applicable local standards.
Child-resistant packaging technology has advanced significantly beyond the frustratingly difficult containers that characterized early compliance efforts. Modern CR packaging incorporates sophisticated mechanical mechanisms that challenge children’s limited problem-solving abilities and motor skills while remaining intuitive for adults through clear visual and tactile cues.
Resealable mechanisms represent a critical innovation, maintaining child resistance through multiple open-close cycles while preserving product freshness through integrated sealing systems. This resealability addresses both regulatory requirements and practical consumer needs, particularly for products like flower and edibles that consumers access repeatedly over extended periods.
The market now offers certified child-resistant solutions across diverse material options—food-grade plastics for edibles and concentrates, UV-resistant glass for premium flower products, and hybrid designs combining materials to optimize both protection and presentation. Manufacturers have also responded to accessibility concerns by developing CR mechanisms that seniors and individuals with arthritis can operate without excessive force or complex manipulation, addressing previous criticisms that child-resistant packaging was effectively “everyone-resistant”. Opaque CR containers serve the dual purpose of child resistance and light protection, particularly crucial for edibles where visibility restrictions prevent child appeal while UV opacity maintains product stability and cannabinoid preservation.
Testing and certification processes have become more standardized and accessible, with European testing laboratories offering expedited evaluation services that provide certification documentation within 4-6 weeks. This improved testing access allows businesses to launch products more rapidly while maintaining full compliance confidence. Many packaging suppliers now offer pre-certified CR options that have already undergone ISO 8317 testing, enabling businesses to source compliant packaging without conducting independent testing for each product line.
Cannafest Prague 2025 provides an unparalleled opportunity to evaluate child-resistant packaging options from certified suppliers, compare performance characteristics across different CR mechanisms, and obtain documentation verifying compliance and country-specific requirements. The exhibition floor will feature extensive CR packaging displays where attendees can physically test different mechanisms, assess usability from both child-resistance and adult-accessibility perspectives, and examine material quality and construction durability.
Jarsking’s comprehensive child-resistant portfolio includes solutions for every product category—flower jars with push-and-turn caps, concentrate containers with squeeze-and-pull mechanisms, edible pouches with zipper-lock CR closures, and custom designs for unique product formats.
Supplier representatives can discuss bulk pricing structures, minimum order quantities, customization options for branding and labeling, and lead times for delivery to various European destinations. For businesses entering new markets or launching product lines, these face-to-face consultations prove invaluable for understanding packaging requirements, avoiding costly compliance mistakes, and establishing reliable supplier relationships.
The conference programming includes sessions specifically addressing child-resistant packaging regulations, featuring presentations from regulatory officials, compliance attorneys, and experienced operators who have successfully navigated multi-country approval processes. These sessions provide critical insights into upcoming regulatory changes, enforcement priorities, and best practices for maintaining documentation that satisfies regulatory inspections.
Cannabis packaging design has undergone a dramatic aesthetic transformation as the industry matures and pursues mainstream consumer acceptance. The loud, psychedelic imagery and cannabis leaf iconography that dominated early recreational markets has given way to sophisticated, minimalist designs that wouldn’t look out of place alongside premium cosmetics or craft beverages. This shift reflects both regulatory requirements that prohibit imagery appealing to children and strategic brand positioning seeking to attract affluent consumers who view cannabis as a wellness product rather than a counterculture statement.
Muted color palettes featuring earth tones, soft pastels, and monochromatic schemes signal quality, natural origins, and therapeutic benefits. Organic textures achieved through specialty papers, embossed finishes, and tactile printing techniques create premium unboxing experiences that justify higher price points and encourage social media sharing.
Typography has become the primary design element, with carefully selected fonts, hierarchical text arrangements, and negative space usage creating visual impact without relying on imagery. This text-focused approach simultaneously satisfies regulatory compliance requirements mandating prominence for warnings and product information while allowing brands to express distinctive identities through typographic choices.
The psychology underlying premium packaging is well-documented across consumer goods industries: higher-quality packaging materials and sophisticated design aesthetics create perceived value that enables brands to command premium pricing. Cannabis markets prove particularly receptive to this dynamic because consumers lack reliable quality indicators in the absence of traditional brand histories and because medical cannabis patients specifically seek products conveying professionalism and therapeutic legitimacy rather than recreational associations.
European cannabis packaging regulations impose significant creative constraints, prohibiting cartoon characters, representations appealing to minors, false health claims, and imagery suggesting safety or therapeutic benefits for unapproved conditions. These restrictions eliminate many traditional marketing approaches, forcing brands to achieve differentiation within tight regulatory boundaries.
However, skilled designers view these constraints as creative opportunities, utilizing sophisticated typography to communicate brand personality, employing subtle color psychology to evoke desired emotional responses, and leveraging premium materials to create tactile brand experiences.
What remains permissible within European regulatory frameworks includes sophisticated typography combining sans-serif and serif fonts for visual hierarchy, subtle brand colors used consistently across product lines to build recognition, elegant materials like specialty papers, soft-touch coatings, and premium glass, and abstract patterns or geometric designs that create visual interest without violating content restrictions.
The psychology of premium packaging extends beyond aesthetics to functional design choices. Packaging that opens smoothly, closes securely, and protects products effectively throughout the consumer experience creates positive brand associations and encourages repeat purchases. The unboxing experience, popularized by consumer electronics and luxury goods industries, has become increasingly important in cannabis markets where premium products command significant price premiums and consumers seek Instagram-worthy purchasing experiences.
Jarsking’s booth will offer design consultation where our experienced sales representatives review your existing designs, suggest improvements within regulatory constraints, and demonstrate how material selections and finishing options elevate brand perception.
Visitors can examine physical samples showing various printing techniques, coating options, labeling materials, and closure styles, experiencing firsthand how design details impact consumer perception. The ability to touch, open, and evaluate packaging in person provides insights impossible to obtain through online research or supplier catalogs, making trade show attendance valuable specifically for design evaluation purposes.
Material sample collections available at exhibitor booths allow businesses to evaluate paper weights, plastic finishes, glass thickness, and specialty materials, taking samples back for stakeholder review and design development. Many exhibitors offer special show pricing on design services, prototype development, and first production runs, creating financial incentives for initiating packaging projects during the event.
The global cannabis market stands at an inflection point, with projections showing explosive growth that will reshape entire sectors of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The worldwide cannabis market reached approximately $39.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to surge to $151.72 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.26%. The United States leads global consumption, with cannabis sales expected to reach $45.3 billion in 2025 and projected to climb to $91.10 billion by 2033, driven by continued state-level legalization and medical program expansion.
European markets represent the fastest-growing segment of global cannabis expansion, driven primarily by Germany’s landmark legalization that created the largest regulated cannabis market outside North America. Germany’s medical cannabis program has expanded rapidly since implementation, with patient numbers exceeding 100,000 and continuing to grow as physician comfort with cannabis prescribing increases. This German market development creates ripple effects throughout Europe, encouraging neighboring countries to reconsider prohibitionist policies and creating demand for compliant products that can be exported across EU borders.
The Cannabis market expansion reflects broader acceptance trends, with cannabis shedding decades of stigma to gain mainstream recognition as both a legitimate medical treatment and an adult recreational choice comparable to alcohol. This normalization accelerates market growth by expanding the consumer base beyond early adopters to include middle-aged and senior demographics seeking alternatives to pharmaceutical medications for chronic pain, sleep disorders, and anxiety management. Price compression trends observed in mature markets like California and Colorado demonstrate that as supply increases, prices stabilize at levels accessible to broader consumer segments, further expanding market reach.
Explosive market growth directly translates to unprecedented demand for compliant, scalable packaging solutions capable of supporting rapid business expansion. Cannabis businesses expanding into multiple jurisdictions require packaging versatility that satisfies varying regulatory requirements without necessitating complete redesigns for each market. This creates demand for modular packaging systems where base containers remain consistent while labeling, closure mechanisms, and opacity features adapt to specific regulatory environments.
Multi-country distribution introduces language and labeling complexity, requiring packaging designs that accommodate mandatory information in multiple languages without compromising aesthetics or clarity. Businesses serving both medical and recreational markets need packaging that appropriately signals product positioning—medical products emphasizing clinical legitimacy and therapeutic benefits while recreational products focus on lifestyle branding and experiential messaging. This dual-market strategy often requires entirely separate packaging lines, increasing complexity and inventory management challenges.
Supply chain reliability becomes critically important as businesses scale, making supplier selection a strategic decision rather than merely a procurement function. Businesses experiencing rapid growth cannot tolerate packaging shortages that halt production lines or delay product launches into new markets.
This drives preference for suppliers with robust manufacturing capacity, quality control systems ensuring consistency across large production runs, and logistics capabilities supporting delivery to multiple international locations. Bulk ordering requirements grow substantially as businesses scale, making pricing structures, payment terms, and volume discount frameworks central negotiation points.
Cannafest’s international scope creates unique networking opportunities for businesses seeking expansion partnerships, distribution agreements, and cross-border supplier relationships. The 2024 event attracted 8,235 international visitors from over 30 countries, representing diverse market opportunities from mature Western European markets to emerging Eastern European jurisdictions beginning cannabis program development. This concentration of international buyers, distributors, and operators in a single location for three days enables relationship-building impossible through remote communications.
Emerging market representatives attend major trade shows specifically to identify potential suppliers and evaluate product availability before launching domestic programs. These early-stage relationships often evolve into exclusive distribution agreements or preferred supplier arrangements as new markets develop.
Established brands seeking European expansion utilize Cannafest to identify local distribution partners with existing regulatory expertise, retail relationships, and market knowledge critical for successful market entry. These partnerships prove essential in European markets where local knowledge of regulatory nuances, consumer preferences, and competitive dynamics separates successful market entries from expensive failures.
Jarsking’s international shipping expertise and multi-country compliance knowledge specifically serve businesses expanding across European markets. Our booth consultations address common expansion challenges—navigating varying child-resistant requirements, managing inventory across multiple warehouses, handling currency fluctuations and international payment processing, and ensuring packaging arrives on schedule to support product launch timelines. These practical, experience-based insights prove invaluable for businesses attempting their first international expansion.
While cannabis flower and concentrate products dominate industry attention, hemp-derived products represent a massive parallel market with significant growth trajectories independent of cannabis legalization timelines. Hemp cosmetics and skincare products leverage cannabidiol (CBD) and hemp seed oil for their anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and antioxidant properties, with the global hemp cosmetics market projected to grow at double-digit rates through 2030. These products enter mainstream retail channels unavailable to THC-containing cannabis products, appearing on shelves at conventional pharmacies, beauty retailers, and department stores across Europe.
Hemp food products and beverages represent perhaps the fastest-growing segment of the hemp economy, with hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, hemp milk, and hemp-infused beverages entering health food stores and mainstream grocery chains. These products appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking plant-based proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and functional food benefits without psychoactive effects. The Hemp Beer Festival featured at Cannafest 2025 specifically highlights beverage innovation, showcasing how hemp ingredients enhance flavor profiles while providing functional benefits in craft beer formulations.
The diversity of hemp product categories demands packaging versatility extending far beyond child-resistant cannabis containers. Hemp cosmetics require premium presentation comparable to conventional beauty products, with airless pump bottles for serums, frosted glass jars for creams, and sophisticated tubes for topical applications. These products compete on retail shelves against established cosmetic brands, making packaging quality and aesthetics critical purchase drivers. Hemp food products must satisfy food-grade safety standards, provide moisture and oxygen barriers maintaining product freshness, and communicate nutritional information clearly through labeling.
This packaging diversity creates opportunities for suppliers like Jarsking who maintain broad product portfolios spanning multiple material types, closure mechanisms, and customization capabilities. Businesses operating across hemp product categories benefit from consolidated supplier relationships that provide consistent quality, streamlined ordering processes, and potential volume discounts across diverse product lines.
Hemp product diversity enables businesses to diversify revenue streams, reducing dependence on cannabis regulatory environments that remain politically volatile. Companies entering cannabis markets through hemp-derived CBD products often expand into THC-containing products as regulations permit, utilizing established distribution channels, brand recognition, and customer relationships built through non-psychoactive hemp products. This staged entry strategy reduces risk while building business infrastructure and market presence.
Packaging suppliers serving hemp industries gain expertise directly applicable to cannabis markets, understanding plant-derived product stability requirements, natural product consumer expectations, and compliance documentation systems. The cross-pollination between hemp and cannabis sectors accelerates innovation, with packaging developments in cosmetics, food, and beverage industries adapted for cannabis applications and vice versa. Cannafest’s inclusion of hemp cosmetics pavilions, food demonstrations, and textile exhibits alongside traditional cannabis products reflects this sector convergence and the increasing recognition that hemp and cannabis industries share more similarities than differences.
The professional conference running throughout Cannafest features international speakers including doctors presenting medical cannabis research, scientists sharing cultivation and extraction innovations, lawyers analyzing regulatory developments, activists discussing policy reform progress, and breeders introducing new genetics. These presentations are included free with trade show admission, providing access to expertise and knowledge that would cost thousands of dollars if purchased through consulting engagements or conference-only registrations.
Medical cannabis research presentations offer critical insights into therapeutic applications, dosing protocols, and patient outcomes that inform product development decisions and marketing strategies. Understanding which conditions respond most effectively to cannabis treatments allows businesses to target marketing toward relevant patient populations and develop products optimized for specific therapeutic needs. Regulatory update sessions provide advance notice of compliance requirement changes, enabling proactive adjustments to packaging, labeling, and documentation systems before enforcement deadlines create urgent, expensive rushes.
Business strategy presentations from successful operators share practical lessons about market positioning, distribution channel development, fundraising approaches, and scaling operations—knowledge particularly valuable for businesses in growth stages or attempting market expansion. Cultivation and extraction technology sessions benefit vertically integrated businesses seeking to optimize production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product consistency.
