Market Insights Snapshot
Kites operated as a single-category brand in August 2026 with Pre-Roll at 100.0% of mix, while Pre-Roll sales fell 18.74% year over year and 37.08% month over month; the brand’s total sales decline of 18.76% year over year and a 1.81% drop in average price provide context that the pullback is not pricing-led. In Oregon Pre-Roll, Kites held rank 17, indicating mid-pack placement as mix concentration met a steep monthly contraction; the combination of a 37.08% month-over-month slide alongside a 100.0% category dependence implies exposure to short-term Pre-Roll volatility rather than cross-category cushioning.
Positioning is narrowed to value-sensitive Pre-Roll, as the 1.81% average price decrease alongside an 18.74% year-over-year and 37.08% month-over-month volume-led contraction suggests reliance on unit throughput at a stable ticket rather than premium trade-up. Holding rank 17 within Oregon while mix is 100.0% Pre-Roll implies defensible awareness but limited insulation from seasonal or promotional swings; the pattern points to a need for either price-pack architecture or adjacent-format entry to reduce sensitivity to 30%+ monthly swings.
Competitive Landscape
Kites is ranked #17 in OR Pre-Roll for August 2026, down 5 positions year over year from #12, and 7 positions below its three-month mark of #10; the brand’s peak was #7 in September 2024, indicating a 10-rank slide from that high. In contrast, STiCKS held #1 both this year and last (0-rank change) with a 96.16% year-over-year sales increase, while Kaprikorn climbed from #5 to #2 alongside a 128.91% sales increase; this relative movement suggests Kites is ceding share to faster-advancing leaders. The pattern implies Kites’ rank trajectory—from #7 in September 2024 to #17 in August 2026—signals declining competitive position against top-tier movers and calls for targeted actions to arrest further rank loss.
Notable Products
Acapulco Gold Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) delivered the headline move in August 2026 with a +43.9% month-over-month surge to rank 2, while Ice Queen Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) held rank 1 with no reported MoM figure and a single-month take of $16,327. Eight of the top ten SKUs are Pre-Roll 10-Packs, concentrating the lineup in one format while ranks 3 through 6 are clustered in Pre-Roll with Cajun Mintz at rank 3 and 818 Headband at rank 4, pointing to a portfolio anchored in multi-pack value rather than breadth. The pattern implies Kites is leaning into scale around 10-pack pre-rolls to compound share via a few leaders rather than spreading demand across disparate categories.

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.
