Global expansion The company is focused on expanding throughout the United States and globally, creating potential sales opportunities for regulatory consulting services, testing workflows, and licensing solutions in new markets.

Niche expertise With a strong background in analytical chemistry, genetics and molecular biology for cannabis and hemp, there is a clear upsell path to high-precision testing, method development, and compliance-focused R&D services for cannabis producers.

Regulatory consulting Trace Analytics offers expert consulting to legislators and regulators worldwide, suggesting potential partnerships with government or industry bodies, as well as opportunities to public-safety focused testing programs and training contracts.

Revenue opportunities Recent revenue indicators place annual turnover in the low to mid single-digit millions; aligned with growth initiatives and expanded services, this implies potential for new lab instrumentation, analytics software licenses, and recurring testing services for cannabis/hemp markets.
