Market Insights Snapshot
Space Race Cannabis concentrated 87.35% of September 2026 sales in Pre-Roll, with Flower at 12.65%, while overall brand sales were down 46.98% year over year and average price slipped 0.34%. Within categories, Pre-Roll declined 40.96% year over year and 24.09% month over month, whereas Flower fell 68.89% year over year but rose 23.93% month over month, and Pre-Roll’s average price sat at $16.25 versus Flower at 48.67. With Pre-Roll ranked 5 in Alberta, the data implies the brand’s heavy reliance on a contracting Pre-Roll base is dragging total performance more than the smaller but improving month-over-month Flower line can offset.
The mix shift implies vulnerability to Pre-Roll volatility: a 24.09% month-over-month drop in the 87.35% share category mathematically outweighs Flower’s 23.93% month-over-month uptick on 12.65% share, while a 40.96% Pre-Roll year-over-year decline paired with a 68.89% Flower decline signals broad demand pressure rather than isolated SKU issues. Given a 5th-place Pre-Roll rank in Alberta and only a 0.34% average price decrease overall, the brand’s positioning reads as volume-constrained rather than price-led, implying that stabilizing Pre-Roll velocity or reallocating assortment toward faster-recovering formats is the primary lever for restoring trajectory.
Competitive Landscape
Space Race Cannabis sits at rank #5 in AB Pre-Roll in September 2026, a 2-place improvement year over year, but unchanged from #5 three months ago, indicating momentum has cooled since peaking at #2 in September 2025. Competitive movement is sharp above: Back Forty / Back 40 Cannabis rose to #1 with a 3-position YoY climb and 26.2% YoY sales growth, while General Admission holds #2 despite a 1-position YoY rise paired with a 27.9% YoY sales decline; meanwhile, Thumbs Up Brand jumped to #4 with a 19-rank surge and 146.9% YoY sales growth. The pattern implies Space Race Cannabis has stabilized mid-top-5 without recent rank gains, and reclaiming a top-3 position will likely require outpacing the double-digit upward mobility seen at #1 and #4 while exploiting the negative sales trajectory at #2.
Notable Products
Sky Rockets Pre-Roll 20 Pack (8g) posted the steepest movement in September 2026 with a -54.3% month-over-month decline and slid to rank 6, while Stargirl Pre-Roll (1g) fell -21.7% to rank 4. In contrast, Apollo Pre-Roll (0.4g) surged +54.7% to rank 2 and Sputnik Pre-Roll (0.4g) gained +16.1% while holding rank 1. With nine of the top ten rooted in the Pre-Roll category and multipack formats retreating as single-stick 0.4g SKUs advance, the mix implies a pivot toward higher-velocity, lower-weight singles over bulk packs, even with $189,147 still tied to Sky Rockets.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
