In the Arizona market, Item Nine Labs has shown fluctuating performance across different categories. In the Concentrates category, the brand managed to maintain a position within the top 20, although there was a slight drop in ranking from 9th in August to 13th in October. This indicates a competitive market scenario, but the brand has managed to sustain its position. However, in the Flower category, the brand's position improved from 23rd in September to 18th in October. It's worth noting that a ranking of 21 means the brand was not in the top 20 in July.

The brand's ranking in the Pre-Roll category dropped from 8th in July to 15th in October, indicating a significant shift in consumer preference or increased competition. A similar trend is observed in the Vapor Pens category, where the brand's ranking fell drastically from 11th in September to 21st in October. This drop in ranking indicates that the brand was not in the top 20 for the month of October in the Vapor Pens category, which could be a point of concern for Item Nine Labs in Arizona.
