Competitive Landscape
In the California Flower category, Alien Labs has been experiencing some fluctuations in its ranking and sales from August to November 2023. The brand maintained the 8th position in August and September, rose to 7th in October, but fell back to 9th in November. This indicates a slightly volatile market position. In comparison, UpNorth Humboldt and Dime Bag have shown more stability in their rankings, but with a slight downward trend. Fig Farms, another competitor, has seen a consistent drop in rank, indicating a potential loss of market share. Interestingly, Cam Premium Quality Cannabis has shown a significant upward trend, moving from the 15th position in August to 8th in November, surpassing Alien Labs.
