Market Insights Snapshot
In the state of Illinois, Alchemy (Ieso) has shown a varied performance across different cannabis product categories. In the Concentrates category, the brand has experienced a gradual decline in rankings from 6th place in October 2025 to 11th place by January 2026, indicating a need to potentially reassess their strategy in this segment. On the other hand, their Vapor Pens have maintained a relatively stable presence within the top 30, fluctuating slightly but ending at 29th place in January 2026. This suggests that while there is some consistency in their performance, there may be room for improvement to climb higher in the rankings.
Alchemy (Ieso) faced challenges in the Edible category, where it failed to maintain a top 30 position in November and December 2025, only to recover slightly to 33rd place in January 2026. This highlights a volatile market presence that could benefit from targeted marketing or product innovation. Interestingly, in the Topical category, the brand was absent from the rankings in October and December 2025 but managed to secure 4th and 5th positions in November 2025 and January 2026, respectively. This sporadic success could indicate untapped potential in the Topical segment that might be worth exploring further. Overall, while Alchemy (Ieso) demonstrates strengths in certain categories, there are opportunities for growth and stabilization across their product lines in Illinois.
