Market Insights Snapshot
In the state of Illinois, Matter. has shown fluctuating performance in the Flower category. Starting at rank 60 in October 2025, the brand slightly improved its position to rank 57 by November, only to climb further to 51 by December. However, January 2026 saw a significant drop to rank 63, indicating a potential challenge in maintaining consistent growth. This volatility might suggest competitive pressures or shifting consumer preferences within the Illinois market. Despite these changes, the brand's sales figures demonstrate a notable peak in December, hinting at a strong holiday season performance before the subsequent decline.
In contrast, Maryland presents a more positive trend for Matter. in the Flower category. The brand improved its ranking from 38 in October 2025 to 28 by January 2026, reflecting a steady upward trajectory. This consistent improvement suggests successful market strategies or favorable consumer reception in Maryland. Meanwhile, in New York, Matter. has maintained a strong presence in the Flower category, consistently ranking within the top 15, though it slipped slightly from 10 to 14 by January 2026. The absence of Matter. in the top 30 for Edibles after October 2025 and the lack of ranking for Pre-Rolls in January might indicate areas where the brand could focus on strengthening its market share.
