Market Insights Snapshot
Hudson Cannabis concentrated its mix in Concentrates at 54.4% share while holding rank 7 in New York for that category, with May 2026 month-over-month growth of 2.6% against a year-over-year decline of 37.3%. Pre-Roll contracted to 21.8% share with a 4.9% month-over-month drop and an 87.4% year-over-year decline, while Vapor Pens held 21.2% share with a 0.3% month-over-month dip and a 78.7% year-over-year decline; only Flower moved up month-over-month by 1,689.8% to 2.6% share despite a 96.5% year-over-year fall. With average price up 37.0% year over year to $41.08, the mix now leans into higher-priced units (e.g., Concentrates average price $53.30 versus Vapor Pens $34.55), implying margin preservation through premium SKUs even as total brand sales fell 77.0% year over year.
The shift toward Concentrates with a 2.6% month-over-month gain alongside rank 7 in New York positions Hudson Cannabis to compete on a narrower, higher-price platform while ceding breadth where categories posted double-digit year-over-year declines of 78.7%–96.5%. The outsized month-over-month rebound in Flower from a low base and the concurrent 4.9% month-over-month drop in Pre-Roll suggest trial or tactical inventory resets rather than durable volume, so sustaining share likely depends on maintaining Concentrates momentum and selectively supporting Vapor Pens where price elasticity is lower; in short, the pattern points to defending a mid-pack category rank via depth in one category rather than reclaiming total-brand scale in the near term.
Competitive Landscape
Hudson Cannabis sits at rank #7 in New York Concentrates in May 2026, down 4 positions from its peak at #2 in July 2025 but up - actually: year-over-year rank change shows it moved from #3 to #7, a 4-place decline, while the 3-month shift from #6 to #7 marks a 1-position slide. In contrast, Mfny (Marijuana Farms New York) held at #1 year over year (from #1 to #1) and Jetpacks climbed from #4 to #2 alongside a 128.78% YoY sales increase, indicating rivals gained rank as Hudson Cannabis ceded share. With RYTHM advancing from #5 to #3 and UMAMII leaping from #30 to #4 on a 3,754.77% YoY sales surge, the competitive set compressed above Hudson Cannabis, implying that the current trajectory from #3 in May 2025 to #7 in May 2026 signals a need to arrest downward momentum to avoid further displacement.
Notable Products
Full Moon Hash (1g) set the tone with an 89.7% month-over-month surge to roughly $58.2K and held rank 1, while Half Moon Solventless Hash Coin (1g) plunged 55.8% at rank 8, indicating volatility within the Concentrates lineup. New Moon Hash Coin (1g) added a 51.7% lift at rank 5, whereas Farmer's Blend RSO Applicator (1g) slipped 8.6% at rank 6, and with four Concentrates in the top ten the category is concentrated in hash SKUs. The Pre-Roll lane mixed smaller gains as Sour Unicorn Infused Pre-Roll (0.5g) rose 32.3% at rank 2 and Cider Spice Infused Pre-Roll 7-Pack (3.5g) edged up 7.0% at rank 3, while Vapor Pens at ranks 7 and 10 posted a 4.9% dip and new entries with null comps, implying the portfolio is tilting toward premium hash while cartridges act as secondary traffic drivers.

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.
