Market Insights Snapshot
In the beverage category, Kiss has shown a fluctuating performance across different months in Ontario. Starting at rank 29 in May 2025, the brand managed to climb to rank 27 in June, only to slip back to rank 29 in July. By August, Kiss was no longer in the top 30, indicating a potential decline in market presence or increased competition. This movement suggests that while there was a brief period of improvement, sustaining a higher rank might be a challenge for Kiss in Ontario's competitive beverage market.
Despite the rank fluctuations, sales figures for Kiss in Ontario's beverage category reveal a slight upward trend from May to June, with a peak in June before declining in July. This pattern highlights the brand's struggle to maintain consistent growth in a competitive market. The absence of a top 30 ranking in August could be seen as a setback, suggesting that Kiss might need to reassess its strategies to regain momentum. Such dynamics underscore the importance of adaptability and strategic planning for brands operating in the evolving cannabis industry.
Competitive Landscape
In the Ontario beverage category, Kiss has experienced fluctuating rankings, indicating a competitive landscape that presents both challenges and opportunities. Notably, Kiss ranked 29th in May 2025, improved slightly to 27th in June, but fell back to 29th in July, and was not in the top 20 by August. This pattern suggests a struggle to maintain consistent upward momentum. In contrast, Palmetto maintained a stronger presence, starting at 20th in May and gradually slipping out of the top 20 by August, signaling a potential decline in their market influence. Meanwhile, Zele appeared in the rankings only in May at 27th, indicating a less stable market position. Despite these challenges, Kiss's sales figures show a slight increase from May to June, although they dropped again in July, highlighting the need for strategic adjustments to capture a larger market share and improve its competitive standing.
Notable Products

THC Kiss Guava Shot (10mg THC, 30ml) also held its second-place position in the Beverage category, showing a slight increase in sales compared to July.

Overall, the Beverage category products have shown consistent top performance, while Edibles have seen a decline or absence in the rankings.
