Market Insights Snapshot
Good News has shown a varied performance across different states and product categories, with some notable movements in rankings. In Illinois, the brand has maintained a consistent presence in the Edibles category, ranking between 9th and 12th over the past four months. This stability suggests a solid consumer base in the region. However, the Pre-Roll category in Illinois saw a slight decline, with Good News dropping from 16th to 17th place by January 2026, indicating potential challenges in maintaining market share. In the Vapor Pens category, the brand fluctuated between 20th and 22nd place, reflecting a competitive landscape. Notably, Good News did not make it into the top 30 in some categories in other states, which could be a point of concern for the brand's overall market penetration.
In Massachusetts, Good News has maintained a steady ranking in the Edibles category, consistently placing around 10th or 11th, highlighting a strong foothold in this segment. The Vapor Pens category also saw a positive trend, with the brand climbing from 19th to 17th position by January 2026. However, the Pre-Roll category presents a contrasting scenario, as Good News did not appear in the top 30 rankings for two consecutive months, which may suggest a strategic reevaluation is necessary. Meanwhile, in Ohio, the brand's performance in the Edibles category has been improving, moving from 14th to 13th position, indicating growing consumer interest. Yet, in the Vapor Pens category, Good News did not maintain a consistent top 30 ranking, which could be indicative of a more challenging market environment or competitive pressures.
Competitive Landscape

This fluctuation is contrasted by the consistent upward trend of Hijinx, which improved its rank from 16th to 14th over the same period, suggesting a steady increase in consumer preference. Meanwhile, Encore Edibles maintained a relatively stable position, consistently ranking around the 10th spot, while Betty's Eddies showed a slight decline, moving from 11th to 13th.
