Market Insights Snapshot

Kites Historical Sales by Category

Kites remained a near-pure play in Pre-Roll during October 2026, with Pre-Roll holding 98.85% share while Flower accounted for 1.15%. Within Pre-Roll, sales declined 0.97% year over year and 7.06% month over month, even as the brand’s overall sales rose 18.47% year over year and average price increased 1.36%. Flower contracted 59.55% month over month from a small base, and its average price at $21.23 sat above the Pre-Roll average of $14.15. The brand’s category mix is concentrating further into Pre-Roll as Flower weakens, implying that October 2026 performance depended on price and unit dynamics within a single category rather than diversification.

Positioning-wise, a 98.85% reliance on Pre-Roll paired with a rank of 13 in Oregon Pre-Rolls suggests limited buffer against category-specific volatility, especially with a 7.06% month-over-month decline inside the core and a 59.55% month-over-month drop in the small Flower line. The 18.47% year-over-year brand growth against a 0.97% year-over-year dip in core-category sales indicates mix and pricing are compensating more than volume expansion, and the 1.36% average price lift alongside a 24-month sales decline of 42.04% points to price-sensitive demand risk. The pattern implies Kites is competing on tight price-pack architecture within Pre-Roll rather than portfolio breadth, which can sustain rank 13 in the near term but increases exposure to incremental share shifts within the single category.

Competitive Landscape

Kites sits at #13 in OR Pre-Roll in October 2026 with no year-over-year rank change from #13, after slipping 3 positions since July 2026 when it was #10, and sitting 5 spots below its peak of #8 from March 2025. In contrast, STiCKS held #1 year-over-year and remains #1 with an 84.8% YoY sales increase, while Kaprikorn climbed from #5 to #2 alongside a 144.4% YoY sales gain, signaling that leaders are widening separation as Hellavated slipped from #2 to #3 with a 20.3% YoY sales decline. The flat YoY rank at #13 and a 3-position drop since July 2026 imply Kites is holding mid-tier share without upward momentum while faster-moving rivals expand or consolidate positions above it.

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.
