Market Insights Snapshot
Sticky Greens derived 79.65% share from Vapor Pens in May 2026, with that category down 15.17% year over year and 1.88% month over month, while Pre-Roll held 19.46% share with 35.19% year-over-year growth but an 8.33% month-over-month decline. Concentrates contributed 0.90% share with a 62.17% year-over-year drop but a 16.42% month-over-month uptick, and the brand’s average price rose 2.54% year over year to $35.12. In Alberta Vapor Pens, Sticky Greens sat at rank 5, indicating a top-tier presence despite brand-level sales down 9.63% year over year; the mix suggests category dependence where Pre-Roll growth is not yet offsetting Vapor Pen contraction.
The widening gap between a shrinking Vapor Pen base (-15.17% YoY) and a growing but smaller Pre-Roll unit (share at 19.46% with +35.19% YoY) implies Sticky Greens is over-indexed in a weakening anchor and underweight in the expanding secondary, which may cap share gains even with rank 5 in Alberta Vapor Pens. The month-over-month pattern—Vapor Pens at -1.88% and Pre-Roll at -8.33% while Concentrates rose 16.42% from a 0.90% base—signals near-term volatility where price mix (+2.54% YoY average price) risks compounding unit softness; the positioning takeaway is to defend Vapor Pen rank while reallocating toward Pre-Roll to rebalance exposure and stabilize brand-level declines.
Competitive Landscape
Sticky Greens is currently ranked #5 in AB Vapor Pens, up 1 position from #6 year over year, and this ties its peak at #5 in May 2026 while improving from #6 in February 2026; meanwhile, Spinach held #1 with a 31.1% year-over-year sales increase and BoxHot slipped from #2 to #3 alongside a 3.2% sales decline. In parallel, Back Forty / Back 40 Cannabis climbed from #3 to #2 with an 18.1% year-over-year lift, while General Admission stayed at #4 amid a 24.0% drop, positioning Sticky Greens as the brand nudging into the top tier but needing share capture from #4 and #3 to convert a modest rank gain into durable top-3 presence.
Notable Products
Fruitsplosion Kief Coated Liquid Diamonds Infused Pre-Roll 5-Pack (2.5g) posted the largest movement in May 2026 with a +54.9% month-over-month gain, rising into rank 6 while Five of Diamonds Kief Coated Liquid Diamond Infused Pre-Roll 5-Pack (2.5g) fell -16.7% at rank 5, implying a substitution toward one infused pre-roll format over another. At the top, Blue Shark Liquid Diamond Cartridge (1g) retained rank 1 despite a -6.0% decline, while Red Razzleberry Liquid Diamond Cartridge (1g) held rank 2 with a -1.4% dip, signaling that the flagship vape tier is stable even as mid-tier variants like Carnival Clouds Liquid Diamond Cartridge (1g) slid -23.1% to rank 8. With 8 of the top 10 SKUs in Vapor Pens, the category still concentrates the portfolio, but the contrasting +54.9% surge in infused pre-rolls against multiple vape pullbacks of -6.0% to -23.1% points to growing traction for value-dense, novelty pre-rolls within the mix.
