Market Insights Snapshot
In September 2026, Dark Star’s category mix is entirely concentrated in Edible at 100.0% share, with Edible sales up 302.87% year over year and 17.95% month over month, while the overall brand sales grew 282.50% YoY and average price fell 9.52% YoY; taken together with a New York Edible rank of 33, this points to volume-driven gains rather than price-led expansion. With average price at $12.89 and a 17.95% MoM lift paired against a 302.87% YoY surge, the mix indicates that September 2026 growth leaned on unit velocity within Edibles, implying Dark Star is scaling breadth within a single category rather than diversifying its portfolio footprint.
The singular 100.0% Edible mix and rank 33 in New York suggest a concentrated positioning where price elasticity supported uptake as prices declined 9.52% YoY while sales expanded 282.50% YoY, and the 17.95% MoM lift indicates near-term momentum is intact. This combination—302.87% YoY category growth with a mid-pack rank at 33—implies headroom to trade up within Edibles through format or potency tiers while the lack of mix diversification raises exposure risk if Edible demand normalizes, meaning the next share gains likely come from depth within Edibles rather than cross-category expansion in the near term.
Competitive Landscape
Dark Star sits at rank #33 in NY Edible for September 2026, improving 27 positions from #60 year over year and slipping 3 spots from #30 since June 2026; the brand’s peak at #27 in April 2026 adds a 6-rank gap from its best to current, while the year-over-year climb of 27 ranks contrasts with a quarter-over-quarter dip of 10%. Against leaders, Camino moved from #2 to #1 and Wyld rose from #3 to #2, whereas Off Hours fell from #1 to #3 with a 28.1% sales decline, indicating that Dark Star’s ascent is occurring amid top-tier reshuffling but still trails the category’s consolidation at the top. The pattern implies Dark Star’s rank trajectory is upward on a twelve-month view but stalled recently, signaling a need to convert April 2026’s peak momentum into sustained share gains before leadership positions harden.
Notable Products
Daytime Chocolate Crunchy Toffee Topped Bullet Bar (100mg) led September 2026 with a 329.5% month-over-month surge to $1.6k and jumped into rank 4, while the CBD/CBG/THC 1:1:1 Blackjack Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar 10-Pack (100mg CBD, 100mg CBG, 100mg THC) fell 23.4% to rank 5. The top three remain concentrated in Edible bars, with Anytime - CBG/THC 1:2 Cookies & Cream White Chocolate Bullet Bar (50mg CBG, 100mg THC) up 36.2% at rank 1 and THC/CBN 2:1 Night Time Plain Dark Bullet Bar Chocolate (100mg THC, 50mg CBN) slipping 3.2% at rank 3. The pattern implies Dark Star is tilting toward daytime functionals within Edibles, using flavor-led dayparts to add incremental volume without displacing the flagship 1:2 Cookies & Cream bar.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
