Market Insights Snapshot
Canaca's performance varies significantly across states and categories. In the flower category, Canaca maintains a strong presence, particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan, consistently ranking within the top 20 brands. However, there has been a noticeable drop in ranking in Alberta from 9th to 18th between July and September 2023, before rebounding to 10th in October. In Ontario, despite a steady decline from 14th to 23rd over the same period, Canaca remains a significant player in the flower category.
On the other hand, Canaca's performance in the Pre-Roll and Vapor Pens categories shows room for improvement. In Alberta, the brand's ranking in the Pre-Roll category has been slipping, moving from 29th to 43rd between July and October 2023. The Vapor Pens category also sees Canaca struggling to maintain a spot in the top 20, with the brand not appearing in the rankings for October 2023. In British Columbia, Canaca's performance in the Flower category shows a positive trend, improving from 74th to 34th over the same period. However, the brand's absence from the Oil category rankings indicates potential underperformance or lack of presence in this category within the province.
