Market Insights Snapshot
In May 2026, Alchemy Pure (NY) concentrated 76.70% of sales in Flower, where sales rose 63.77% year over year and 33.72% month over month, while Pre-Roll accounted for 13.40% with a 48.96% YoY decline but a 16.52% MoM lift. Vapor Pens held 6.73% share with 125.08% YoY and 67.65% MoM growth, and Concentrates at 3.17% posted 527.46% YoY and 14.33% MoM growth; the average price moved up 9.98% YoY to $50.51. The pattern indicates a pivot toward higher-growth inhalables beyond Flower, even as the brand’s NY mix remains Flower-heavy, implying near-term upside from category diversification alongside reliance on a single anchor.
With a Flower rank of 29 in New York and 76.70% category concentration, the 63.77% YoY Flower expansion and 33.72% MoM lift suggest defensible core scale, while the 125.08% YoY surge in Vapor Pens and 527.46% YoY rise in Concentrates point to an entry path into faster-growth niches. The 48.96% YoY contraction in Pre-Roll coupled with a 16.52% MoM uptick implies recent stabilization, and the 9.98% YoY average price increase signals pricing power that could support a premium positioning if Vapor Pens and Concentrates continue to outpace Flower in share gains.
Competitive Landscape
Alchemy Pure (NY) sits at rank #29 in NY Flower for May 2026, up 10 positions from #39 year over year, though it slipped 2 spots from #31 in February 2026 and remains 11 places below its peak at #18 in July 2024; meanwhile, Leal climbed from #11 to #1 and RYTHM advanced from #10 to #4, indicating that leaders are gaining ground faster than mid-pack movers. With Dank. By Definition dropping from #1 to #2 amid a 38.1% YoY sales decline while Rolling Green Cannabis eased from #2 to #3 and Untitled improved from #6 to #5, Alchemy Pure (NY)’s YoY rank rise alongside a recent 2-position quarterly dip points to incremental share recovery without momentum sufficient to close the gap to the accelerating top tier.
Notable Products
GMO Pre-Roll (0.5g) posted the standout move in May 2026 with a +118% month-over-month surge, jumping to rank 2, while Moonlight (3.5g) fell -29% to rank 7 and King Kong Kief Infused Pre-Roll 5-Pack (2.5g) slid -14% to rank 10. Catskill Blue Dream (3.5g) rose +17% and held rank 1, and three of the top ten are Flower SKUs, indicating concentration in core eighths and bulk formats even as Pre-Roll volatility reshapes the runner-up tier. One SKU exceeded $70,000 in sales, but the sharper swings are concentrated in smaller-format Pre-Rolls where rank mobility is highest. The mix implies Alchemy Pure (NY) is leaning on stable Flower leaders to anchor share while using Pre-Rolls as a tactical growth and trial engine despite greater month-to-month risk.
