Market Insights Snapshot

Kites Historical Sales by Category

Kites concentrated 96.04% of September 2026 sales in Pre-Roll, with Flower at 3.96%, while Pre-Roll sales fell 17.29% year over year and 14.73% month over month; across the brand, average price rose 1.11% and total sales declined 13.88% year over year. Within Pre-Roll, the average price was $13.88 versus a brand average price of $14.16, indicating mix and pricing drift that coincides with a 52.47% decline over 24 months and a rank of 15 in Pre-Roll in Oregon; the pattern implies that a near-single-category reliance is amplifying volatility when Pre-Roll demand softens.

These shifts imply Kites is positioned as a Pre-Roll specialist whose exposure to category downturns outweighs modest price uplift, as a 1.11% higher average price failed to offset a 17.29% category-specific decline and a 14.73% sequential drop concentrated in a 96.04% mix. With Flower stuck below 4.00% share and lacking clear month-over-month or year-over-year signals, a portfolio too narrow for September 2026 conditions leaves Kites tied to the 15th-place Pre-Roll trajectory in Oregon, implying that incremental diversification or sub-segment repositioning within Pre-Roll is necessary to reduce sensitivity to single-category swings.

Competitive Landscape

Kites sits at rank #15 in OR Pre-Roll for September 2026, down 2 positions year over year from #13 and slipping 3 spots from #12 in June 2026, while the brand’s peak at #7 in September 2024 underscores a longer slide; by contrast, STiCKS held at #1 year over year with an estimated +91.7% sales growth and Kaprikorn climbed from #6 to #2 alongside approximately +160.0% sales growth, indicating Kites is losing relative share against faster-rising leaders and that the current trajectory implies further mid-tier displacement unless rank stabilizes.

Notable Products

Strawberry Cough Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) delivered the headline move in September 2026 with a +277.8% month-over-month surge to rank 1, while Ice Queen Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) fell -64.6% to rank 10. P85 Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) also expanded at +77.4% to rank 3, and 818 Headband Pre-Roll 10-Pack (5g) contracted -26.9% at rank 6. With all top-10 items in the Pre-Roll category and three SKUs concentrated in multi-pack 10-packs driving both outsized gains and steep pullbacks, the pattern implies Kites is leaning into a hit-driven pre-roll portfolio where rapid rotations in a few marquee SKUs steer near-term trajectory and merchandising focus.

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.
