Market Insights Snapshot
Temple’s category mix in May 2026 was dominated by Concentrates at 99.28% share with a month-over-month change of -36.99% and a year-over-year change of -14.55%, while Pre-Roll held 0.72% share with a month-over-month change of 57.39% and a year-over-year change of -70.67%. Overall brand sales declined year over year by 15.71% and over 24 months by 33.46%, alongside an average price drop of 10.20% to $45.04, and the brand held rank 22 in Concentrates in Maryland. These simultaneous share concentration at 99.28% and deep month-over-month contraction of -36.99% in the core category imply overexposure to category-specific volatility despite a price reset.
With rank 22 in Concentrates in Maryland and Concentrates carrying 99.28% of sales as Pre-Roll remains below 1% despite a 57.39% month-over-month uptick, Temple’s positioning hinges on a single-category bet where price elasticity (-10.20% average price year over year) did not prevent a 15.71% brand sales decline. The combination of a -36.99% month-over-month drop in the flagship category and a -70.67% year-over-year decline in Pre-Roll suggests the current mix dampens resilience to demand swings, implying the brand’s rank 22 slot is vulnerable unless category dependence is reduced or the Concentrates trajectory reverses.
Competitive Landscape
Temple is ranked #22 in MD Concentrates in May 2026, flat year over year at #22 but up 3 positions from #25 in February 2026, while still 8 ranks below its peak of #14 from May 2024; in contrast, District Cannabis held #1 year over year at #1 with 73.36% YoY sales growth and Grassroots climbed from #7 to #2 with 47.54% YoY growth, as Beezle Extracts slipped from #2 to #4 with a -4.87% YoY sales change; this mix of Temple’s stable annual rank alongside a recent 3-rank quarterly improvement implies a stall-out from prior leadership but a near-term recovery path if momentum continues.
Notable Products
Stankasaurus Nepalese Temple Ball (1g) posted the steepest decline at -95.9% MoM while sliding to rank 8, and Jack's Juice Nepalese Hash Ball (1g) followed with a -92.9% MoM drop at rank 8, indicating a rapid fall-off in legacy Nepalese-style SKUs. Despite Super Skunk Temple Ball Hash (1g) holding rank 1, it fell -51.1% MoM, whereas Gushmints Temple Ball Hash (1g) surged +644.6% MoM into rank 4, signaling a pivot toward newer terpene profiles even as the category concentrates most of the top 10. With four of the top five positions held by Temple Ball Hash variants and only one Pre-Roll entrant at rank 6 growing +58.2% MoM on $212 in sales, the mix concentrates risk in a single form factor. The pattern implies Temple is shifting toward a few breakout Temple Ball strains to drive volume while older Nepalese lines contract, suggesting near-term emphasis on depth within concentrates over breadth across categories.
