Market Insights Snapshot
In May 2026, San Rafael 71’s mix concentrated even further in Flower at 65.92% share with year-over-year sales down 71.17% and month-over-month down 20.97%, while Pre-Roll held 24.33% share with a 63.94% YoY decline and a sharper 43.16% MoM drop. Edible accounted for 6.42% share with sales falling 89.52% YoY and 27.59% MoM, contrasted by Concentrates at 3.07% share posting a 2,541.84% YoY increase and a 2.82% MoM rise. Beverage remained marginal at 0.25% share but jumped 471.09% MoM from a low base; the brand’s overall average price rose 34.61% YoY to $21.40, while the top-category average price in Flower sat at $35.12. The pattern implies a consolidation around higher-priced inhalables where Flower contraction and Pre-Roll retrenchment are only partially offset by nascent growth in Concentrates, leaving total sales still pressured by broad-based YoY declines.
With Flower ranked 68 in Alberta and Pre-Roll sliding faster MoM than Flower by 22.19 percentage points (43.16% vs. 20.97%), San Rafael 71 is ceding lower-price-volume Pre-Roll while leaning into fewer, higher-ticket baskets. The 2,541.84% YoY surge in Concentrates alongside a 471.09% MoM spike in Beverage suggests experimentation at the fringes, yet these categories sum to only 3.32% share, versus 90.26% across Flower and Pre-Roll, and brand sales are down 72.03% YoY with a 86.76% decline over 24 months. This positioning implies the brand is overexposed to contracting core inhalables at higher price points, requiring either re-entry into value tiers or accelerated scaling of Concentrates to counter sustained category headwinds.
Competitive Landscape
San Rafael '71 sits at rank #79 in May 2026, down 30 positions year over year from #49, and 8 spots lower than February 2026’s #71, while its peak of #31 in July 2024 underscores a longer slide; meanwhile, Shred climbed from #2 to #1 with 9.7% YoY sales growth as Back Forty / Back 40 Cannabis slipped from #1 to #2 on an 8.4% YoY decline, indicating that San Rafael '71’s multi-quarter rank erosion amid leaders trading places at the very top implies share is consolidating above it and recovery would require reversing both the 30-place YoY drop and the 8-place three-month slide.

Notable Products
Pink Kush Pre-Roll 3-Pack (1.5g) posted the steepest movement in May 2026 with a -75.7% month-over-month decline while sliding to rank 5, and Black Jelly (3.5g) fell -55.8% at rank 10, indicating acute pressure on legacy SKUs despite Pink Diesel '71 (3.5g) holding rank 1 with a -9.8% dip. With three Flower SKUs in the top ten and two Neon Sour formats debuting at ranks 6 and 8, the assortment is tilting toward fresh Flower entries as Pre-Roll depth compresses, evidenced by Ponderosa Pine Pre-Roll 5-Pack (2.5g) down -31.6% at rank 2. The mix implies San Rafael '71 is leaning into new Flower variants to stabilize share while Pre-Roll volatility is being pruned back.
