OrganiGram continues to invest in innovation, including a partnership with Phylos Bioscience for seed technology to access flower-derived minor cannabinoids and move toward more cost-effective seed-based production. The company is also investing in non-combustible formats through its partnership with Greentank and expanding its manufacturing capabilities with Open Book Extracts.
Despite the positive outlook, OrganiGram faces challenges including market saturation in Canada, potential regulatory changes, intense competition, and broader economic conditions that could impact consumer spending on cannabis products. However, the company’s strong market position, diverse product portfolio, and strategic investments position it well to navigate these challenges and capitalize on growth opportunities in the evolving global cannabis industry.
