Canadian producers shipped 17,067kg of medical cannabis directly to the UK in 2025, more than six times the 2,578kg recorded the year before, according to the latest official Home Office data seen by Business of Cannabis.
It comes as the total amount of cannabis flower being imported into the UK more than doubled in 2025 to 30,062kg, up from 14,992kg recorded in 2024, marking the highest annual figure in the market’s history.
Rather than pointing to a dramatic increase in Canadian cannabis imports, which have dominated European markets since the sector first emerged nearly a decade ago, this data points to a dramatic restructuring of supply chains.
As we reported in March 2025, up until last year, the UK had imported more medical cannabis from Spain than from any other country. While data on the origin country of this product is unavailable, it’s understood that the bulk of this cannabis came from Canada to be processed in Spain, Portugal and other European states before heading to the UK.
That dynamic is quickly shifting, as Canadian producers increasingly process their own products in domestic EU-GMP facilities and send flower in bulk directly, cutting out the middleman.
Prohibition Partners has analysed this data in granular detail and will be publishing a new report in the coming days, while presenting the data and analysis during Cannabis Europa London 2026.
Alex Khourdaji, Lead Analyst at Prohibition Partners, said: “The growth underscores the dominance of the Canadian medical cannabis supply, driven by excess production, tight domestic margins and Canadian licensed producers’ international expansion strategies.”
