Market Insights Snapshot
In California, Friendly Farms has shown significant growth in the Concentrates category. The brand has steadily climbed the ranks from 35th place in August 2023 to 23rd place in November 2023. This upward trajectory suggests an increasing market share and consumer preference for Friendly Farms' concentrates. However, it's worth noting that despite the improvement, the brand has yet to break into the top 20 in this category.
On the other hand, Friendly Farms maintains a consistent presence in the top 10 for the Tincture & Sublingual category, holding the 9th spot from September to November 2023. This consistency indicates a stable demand for their products in this category. However, in the Vapor Pens category, Friendly Farms has seen a slight dip, falling from 28th place in August to 32nd place in November 2023. This could be a potential area of concern, but it's worth monitoring further to see if this trend continues.
Competitive Landscape
In the Vapor Pens category for California, Friendly Farms has seen a slight drop in rank from August to November 2023, moving from 28th to 32nd place. This indicates a decrease in sales, although the brand still maintains a position within the top 40. Among its competitors, Kingpen (formerly 710 Kingpen) and Connected Cannabis Co. have also seen a drop in rank, with Connected Cannabis Co. experiencing a more significant decline. On the other hand, Cream Of The Crop (COTC) improved its rank in October before falling back in November. Interestingly, Crystal Clear has managed to improve its rank significantly, moving up from 37th to 31st place. This suggests a potential increase in sales for Crystal Clear, posing a potential challenge for Friendly Farms.
