Market Insights Snapshot
Alchemist’s category mix in August 2026 concentrated heavily in Concentrates at 91.50% share alongside Vapor Pens at 8.50% share, while overall brand sales fell 25.29% year over year and 69.98% over 24 months. Within the mix, Concentrates declined 11.26% YoY and 29.70% MoM with an average price of $33.33, while Vapor Pens fell 71.30% YoY and 29.81% MoM at an average price of $22.33; this coincided with a 16.85% YoY drop in Alchemist’s overall average price to $31.99. The brand’s rank in Maryland Concentrates sits at position 20, indicating share concentration without rank leadership; the pattern implies a narrow exposure where MoM declines near 30% in both categories magnify risk when the primary line loses traction.
The simultaneous 29.70% MoM slide in Concentrates and 29.81% MoM slide in Vapor Pens, paired with a 71.30% YoY contraction in Vapor Pens versus 11.26% in Concentrates, implies price and assortment are not cushioning demand, despite a 16.85% YoY reduction in overall average price. With 91.50% of sales anchored in Concentrates and a category rank of 20 in Maryland, the reliance on a single category caps visibility gains from price moves; the implication is that Alchemist’s positioning is tilted toward depth over breadth, where even small share losses in Concentrates can drive outsized total declines while the smaller Vapor Pens line lacks scale to offset downturns.
Competitive Landscape
Alchemist sits at rank #20 in MD Concentrates for August 2026, down 2 positions year over year from #18 and 3 spots below its May–June quarter position of #17; this sits far from its peak of #8 in February 2025, indicating a 12-rank slide from that high. In contrast, District Cannabis held #1 year over year and remains #1 currently while growing sales by 42.9%, and Grassroots advanced from #3 year over year to #2 now with a 25.0% sales increase, while Evermore Cannabis Company moved down from #2 year over year to #4 despite a 4.0% sales lift. The combination of a 2-position year-over-year decline and a 12-rank drop from the February 2025 peak implies that Alchemist’s trajectory is one of relative share loss against faster-advancing leaders.
Notable Products
Pungent Smile Live Resin Badder (1g) posted the sharpest movement in August 2026 with a -56.6% month-over-month drop while sliding to rank 4, whereas Member Berry Pure Cured Resin Cartridge (0.5g) jumped +88.2% to rank 5, signaling volatility concentrated at the margins of the top five. Lemon Cherry Diesel Live Resin Batter (1g) still held rank 1 despite a -44.4% decline, and Gelato Live Resin Sugar & Sauce (1g) slipped -10.9% at rank 10, indicating that leadership is being maintained by depth rather than growth. Seven of the top ten SKUs are Concentrates and together account for $26, - with rank positions spanning 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10, which, coupled with Vapor Pens entering the top ten at ranks 5 and 9, points to a portfolio skew that relies on legacy Concentrates while testing momentum in Vapor Pens. The pattern implies Alchemist is balancing a Concentrates-heavy base with selective bets in Vapor Pens to stabilize rank coverage despite steep declines in flagship extracts.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
