Competitive Landscape
In the Vapor Pens category within Ontario, Kazoo has demonstrated a relatively stable performance, maintaining a rank within the mid to late twenties from July to October 2023. However, it's important to note that Kazoo has faced stiff competition from several brands. Tweed has shown a consistent upward trend, improving its rank and presumably increasing its market share. Purple Hills has also maintained a steady presence, ranking slightly higher than Kazoo throughout the period. FIGR, while initially ranking higher than Kazoo, has seen a slight decline in rank over the months. Lastly, Cookies, although not within the top 20 brands, has shown a significant improvement in rank, indicating a potential future threat. These dynamics underline the competitive nature of the Vapor Pens market in Ontario and the need for Kazoo to continue innovating and differentiating itself to maintain and improve its position.
