Market Insights Snapshot
Good News leaned further into Edible in July 2026, with the category at 49.85% share and up 18.55% year over year while growing 2.86% month over month, even as total brand sales fell 8.56% YoY and average price declined 13.63%. Vapor Pens fell 16.60% YoY despite an 8.08% MoM lift and held 37.53% share, while Pre-Roll contracted 43.41% YoY with a modest 2.55% MoM uptick and 12.62% share; in Illinois Edibles, Good News ranked 8. These shifts point to a portfolio reweighting toward Edible to offset structural YoY declines in inhalables, using MoM momentum in Vapor Pens and Pre-Roll as tactical rather than foundational growth drivers.
The mix shift implies a price-led, accessibility posture: Edible’s lower average price at $13.35 versus Vapor Pens at $22.31 and Pre-Roll at $20.75 aligns with the 13.63% brand-wide price decrease and supports share defense in a value-sensitive environment, while maintaining an 8th-place rank in Illinois Edibles signals viable headroom. With Edible share nearly 50% and YoY growth of 18.55% outpacing Vapor Pens’ −16.60% and Pre-Roll’s −43.41%, the brand’s near-term positioning is to consolidate around edible formats where price elasticity is favorable, using the 2.86% MoM Edible gain and 8.08% MoM Vapor Pen bump to stabilize revenue while deprioritizing categories with steep YoY drag.
Competitive Landscape
Good News sits at rank #8 in IL Edible in July 2026, improving 1 position from #9 year over year and climbing 5 spots from #13 in April 2026, while also matching its peak rank of #8 in July 2026; meanwhile, Incredibles advanced from #3 to #1 as its sales grew 18.9% year over year, and Wyld slipped from #1 to #2 alongside an 11.8% sales decline, indicating that Good News is gaining ground primarily through upward mobility against softening leaders rather than overtaking high-growth movers like Gron / Grön, which jumped from #13 to #4 on 100.2% YoY sales growth; this trajectory implies Good News can sustain a mid-tier foothold if it converts recent rank momentum into share capture against competitors sliding in both position and sales.
Notable Products
Pride - Assorted Sour Gummies 10-Pack (100mg) posted the steepest movement in July 2026 with a -26.0% month-over-month decline while holding rank 8, indicating a sharp pullback compared with modest changes elsewhere. In contrast, Friyay - Sour Watermelon Gummies 10-Pack (100mg) rose 12.5% MoM to stay at rank 1 and Me Time - Indica Blue Raspberry Gummies 20-Pack (100mg) climbed 14.3% MoM at rank 2, together concentrating momentum at the very top. With all ten top SKUs in Edible and only one raw dollar anchor at $167,589 for the lead SKU, the pattern implies Good News is consolidating around core gummy formats where small gains at ranks 1-2 offset a discrete mid-pack retreat.

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.
