Market Insights Snapshot
Lighthouse Sciences pivoted toward Concentrates in May 2026, lifting that segment to 30.74% share on 114.44% month-over-month growth despite a 2.25% year-over-year decline, while Vapor Pens fell to 25.96% share with a 6.65% MoM drop and a 47.31% YoY contraction. Pre-Roll held 27.02% share with a 1.30% MoM dip and no year-over-year read, and Topical rose 18.04% MoM to 15.51% share even as it was down 28.15% YoY; Edible remained marginal at 0.78% share with 1.29% MoM and 47.76% YoY declines. With average price down 8.37% YoY to $38.92 and brand sales down 5.13% YoY, the pattern implies Lighthouse Sciences is trading price for volume within Concentrates to offset sustained contractions in Vapor Pens and Edible.
The category rotation, combined with a rank of 9 in Concentrates in Ohio, implies Lighthouse Sciences is leaning into a defendable mid-pack position where price elasticity can recapture trips faster than in Vapor Pens, which is shedding demand at a 47.31% YoY rate. The sharper 114.44% MoM surge in Concentrates versus a 6.65% MoM decline in Vapor Pens and a 1.30% MoM dip in Pre-Roll suggests merchandising and supply allocation favored Concentrates, with Topical’s 18.04% MoM lift serving as a secondary hedge despite its 28.15% YoY drag; taken together, May 2026 signals a positioning strategy that concentrates assortment and promotional intensity where near-term share recovery is most responsive while de-emphasizing categories with steeper YoY erosion.
Competitive Landscape
Lighthouse Sciences sits at rank #9 in OH Concentrates for May 2026, down 1 position from #8 year over year, while improving 24 spots from #33 in February 2026 to #9 in May 2026; against this, Klutch Cannabis held #1 with no rank change and Butterfly Effect - Grow Ohio moved up from #4 to #2 as its sales rose 58.97% year over year. Lighthouse Sciences peaked at #3 in November 2024 but now trails rivals as Hundred Percent Labs advanced from #6 to #4 with 99.55% YoY sales growth and Riviera Creek climbed from #7 to #5 with 86.12% YoY growth; the pattern implies Lighthouse Sciences is stabilizing mid-tier after a three-month rebound but ceding momentum to faster-rising competitors.
