The cannabis pre-roll industry is undergoing a transformation, with automation becoming an essential component for scalability and sustainability. This trend aligns with the sector’s rapid growth, as evidenced by recent research indicating that pre-rolls are the fastest-growing product segment in the industry, marking annual growth rates of 12% in the U.S. and an impressive 38% in Canada.
The adoption of automation technologies enhances business efficiency by streamlining post-harvest processes, reinforcing control over production, and refining product presentation. This shift towards automation is driven by the increasing demand for pre-rolls, which offer convenience, consistency, and a controlled consumption experience.
