Market Insights Snapshot
In the Illinois market, Lula's has shown impressive performance, particularly in the Concentrates category. From July to September 2023, the brand climbed from the 5th to the 2nd position, although it slipped slightly to the 3rd rank in October. This movement suggests a strong and growing preference for Lula's Concentrates among consumers in Illinois. The brand's performance in the Flower category has also improved, moving from the 21st rank in July to 17th in October, indicating a steady rise in popularity despite not making it to the top 20 in the initial months.
However, Lula's performance in the Pre-Roll and Vapor Pens categories in Illinois paints a different picture. In the Pre-Roll category, the brand's ranking fluctuated between the 28th and 24th positions from July to October 2023, suggesting a less consistent market presence. Similarly, in the Vapor Pens category, Lula's maintained a position around the 17th to 20th ranks, showing some stability but not a significant upward trend. These categories might be areas where the brand could focus on improving its market position. Despite these challenges, Lula's overall performance in Illinois indicates a strong foothold in the market with potential for further growth.
