Avant Brands to enter Australian cannabis sector with launch of BLK MKT

Grand View Research and Future Market Insights say the Australian industry will grow exponentially in the coming years

Kelowna’s cannabis operator Avant Brands (TSE: AVNT) (OTCMKTS: AVTBF) is now distributing its BLK MKT cannabis cultivars in five different countries.

The cultivator announced its imminent entry into the Australian market on Monday. This will be made possible through a new agreement with the nation’s medical marijuana distributor Nectar Brands.

Pineapple P, Jealousy, Peanut Butter Mac and other BLK MKT strains will start gracing the lungs of Australian consumers in the next few months.

“This agreement represents a significant step in our global expansion strategy,” Avant Brands CEO Norton Singhavon said. “We believe that the Australian market presents a tremendous opportunity for growth.”

Grand View Research has predicted that the Australian cannabis market will grow with a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.8 per cent between now and 2030. Moreover, Future Market Insights expects the industry to expand with a CAGR of 30.1 per cent, reaching a value of nearly US$8.3 billion by 2033.

Avant Brands now supplies cannabis to Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany and Israel.

Earlier this year, Avant partnered with IM Cannabis Corp. (NASDAQ: IMCC) to ramp up distribution in Germany after the nation loosened up its cannabis laws. IM’s Germany subsidiary Adjupharm GmbH has been selling BLK MKT products there. Avant made its first shipment to the European nation in December.
