Market Insights Snapshot
In the California market, Pacific Reserve has seen some notable fluctuations across various categories. In the Concentrates category, the brand maintained a consistent rank at 15th place during August and July 2023, but experienced a drop to 19th place in September, after an impressive 9th place ranking in June. This could potentially be a cause for concern, given the downward trend. In the Edibles category, the brand made a significant jump from 45th place in July to 21st place in September, a positive upward movement that indicates growing consumer interest.
Turning our attention to the Flower category, Pacific Reserve held a steady position in the top 25, with only a minor dip in July. However, the Pre-Roll category tells a different story. After a strong showing in June and July, where the brand was ranked 11th and 26th respectively, Pacific Reserve fell out of the top 20 in September. This could signal a need for strategic adjustments in this category. Lastly, the brand was not ranked in the Vapor Pens category in September, indicating that they were not among the top 20 brands for that month. This could be an area for potential growth and expansion for Pacific Reserve.
Competitive Landscape
In the Flower category in California, Pacific Reserve has experienced fluctuating ranks over the past few months. In June 2023, it held the 23rd position, which dropped to 49th in July, then improved to 22nd in August, and slightly dropped to 24th in September. This indicates a volatile market position compared to its competitors. For instance, Cookies has seen a steady decline in rank, while THC Design has consistently ranked higher than Pacific Reserve.
