Competitive Landscape
In the Vapor Pens category in Colorado, Spherex has maintained a strong position, consistently ranking as the top brand for three consecutive months (August, September, October 2023) before slipping to second place in November 2023. This shift in rank was due to the rise of Bonanza Cannabis Company, which climbed from third to first place over the same period. Meanwhile, The Clear and Eureka have been fluctuating in their rankings, with The Clear moving between third and fifth place, and Eureka dropping from second to fourth. Despite these shifts, Spherex has consistently outperformed these competitors in sales, indicating a strong market presence and consumer preference for the brand. However, the upward trend of Bonanza Cannabis Company suggests a growing competition in the Vapor Pens category.
