Market Insights Snapshot
Alchemy (Ieso) concentrated its August 2026 mix in Concentrates at 42.33% share with year-over-year sales down 30.56% and month-over-month up 3.26%, while Vapor Pens held 23.48% share with a 67.60% YoY decline and an 8.75% MoM drop. Edible represented 23.04% share with an 11.71% YoY increase but a 10.16% MoM decline, and Flower, though just 5.69% share, spiked 247.59% MoM against a 31.92% YoY decline. Topical at 4.38% share rose 27.82% MoM with a 12.80% YoY decline, and Pre-Roll at 1.09% share contracted 27.80% MoM with no YoY baseline. With overall brand sales down 40.28% YoY and average price down 26.59% YoY to $22.20, the pattern implies a pivot toward a lower-priced, value-led basket concentrated in Concentrates and Edible, while Vapor Pens contraction continues to be the primary drag.
Positioning-wise, a Concentrates-heavy mix at 42.33% share paired with an 11.71% YoY lift in Edible suggests reliance on two distinct value and potency lanes, while the 67.60% YoY contraction in Vapor Pens and 10.16% MoM pullback in Edible indicate reduced traction in convenience formats. The 247.59% MoM surge in Flower alongside a 27.82% MoM climb in Topical points to tactical assortment fills rather than durable demand, given Flower’s 31.92% YoY decline and Topical’s 12.80% YoY decline. Holding rank 11 in Concentrates in Illinois while Vapor Pens compress suggests the brand’s best near-term defensible position is potency-forward formats, with price elasticity (average price down 26.59% YoY) as the lever to stabilize share against further losses.
Competitive Landscape
Alchemy (Ieso) sits at rank #11 in IL Concentrates in August 2026, sliding 3 positions year over year from #8 and drifting 2 spots from May 2026’s #13 to today’s #11, while still well off its peak of #4 in September 2025; meanwhile, Aeriz held #1 with an 11.8% year-over-year sales increase and IC Collective climbed from #5 to #3 on 79.3% growth, indicating Alchemy (Ieso) lost relative momentum versus faster-rising leaders. With Nature's Grace and Wellness advancing from #9 to #4 on 65.9% growth and Cresco Labs easing from #7 to #5 despite a 1.9% sales decline, Alchemy (Ieso)’s shift from #8 to #11 points to a mid-tier squeeze where rivals either accelerated share or preserved position despite contraction, implying that without a step-change in velocity the brand risks further slide from its former #4 peak.
Notable Products
The steepest decline came from Deep Sleep- CBN/THC 10:1 Cherry Gummies 20-Pack (1000mg CBN, 100mg THC), down 26.3% MoM at rank 6, while Sleep Potion - CBN/THC 5:1 Black Raspberry Gummies 20-Pack (500mg CBN, 100mg THC) fell 12.0% at rank 4. In contrast, CBD/THC 20:1 Orange Pineapple Healing Gummies 20-pack (2000mg CBD,100mg THC) rose 28.8% to rank 1, and CBDa/THCa 5:1 Healer's Salve (100mg CBDa, 20mg THCa) climbed 39.3% at rank 8 with $14,042 in August 2026 sales. Five of the top ten are Edible SKUs, yet two leading sleep-oriented gummies posted double-digit MoM declines while a high-CBD daytime formula gained rank, implying consumer demand is shifting from sleep formulations toward wellness-balanced CBD ratios. The mix points to Alchemy (Ieso) reallocating emphasis toward high-CBD and functional non-sedating formats while keeping Edibles as the anchor category.
