Market Insights Snapshot
In July 2026, The Botanist leaned further into Flower at 60.79% share, with category sales up 38.36% year over year and 47.20% month over month, while Pre-Roll expanded to 13.44% share on 64.79% YoY and 10.93% MoM growth; in contrast, Vapor Pens held 22.29% share but contracted 29.17% YoY despite a 3.54% MoM lift. Smaller lines diverged: Edible slipped to 2.21% share with sales down 46.69% YoY and 25.53% MoM, whereas Tincture & Sublingual at 0.92% rose 16.22% MoM despite a 30.55% YoY decline, and Concentrates, though just 0.35% share, spiked 149.62% YoY and 213.98% MoM. The pattern implies an intentional pivot toward inhalables, with Flower and Pre-Roll absorbing demand as Edible and Vapor Pens lose momentum, supported by a 4.64% YoY reduction in average price and anchored by a rank of 9 in Illinois Flower.
The mix shift toward Flower and Pre-Roll suggests The Botanist is prioritizing rapid-turn, basket-building formats to stabilize growth, with July 2026 brand sales up 12.00% YoY despite Vapor Pens’ 29.17% YoY drag. Concentrates’ 213.98% MoM acceleration, alongside a 149.62% YoY surge, signals a testing ground for higher-potency seekers that can hedge against further 46.69% YoY declines in Edible and 30.55% YoY declines in Tincture & Sublingual, while the 47.20% MoM Flower surge paired with a 10.93% MoM Pre-Roll gain indicates near-term shelf and promotional emphasis that supports maintaining a top-10 position (rank 9) in Illinois Flower.
Competitive Landscape
The Botanist sits at rank #9 in IL Flower in July 2026, improving 12 positions from #21 year over year, and moving 12 ranks since April 2026 to reach a new peak at #9 in July 2026; meanwhile, category leader High Supply / Supply held #1 with a -3.0% YoY sales change while #2 RYTHM expanded sales by 20.8%, and #4 &Shine climbed from #8 to #4 with an 87.4% YoY increase—indicating The Botanist’s rapid ascent is timing into a tier where incumbents either contract slightly or post double-digit growth, implying its rank trajectory stems more from distribution gains than pure demand outperformance against the fastest risers.
Notable Products
Mint Sherbert (3.5g) posted the headline move in July 2026 with +110.6% month over month to rank 1, while Grapple Pie Pre-Roll (1g) jumped +101.5% to rank 3, signaling that the fastest velocity is clustered at the very top of the chart. Three Flower SKUs occupy ranks 1, 2, and 4, and five of the top ten are Flower overall, indicating merchandising and consumer pull are concentrating around core eighths rather than newer formats. Billionaire (3.5g) advanced +67.6% MoM to rank 6 versus LA Kush Cake (3.5g) at +6.6% MoM in rank 2, suggesting the mid-pack Flower is gaining share faster than the incumbent premium. The pattern implies The Botanist is shifting volume toward high-velocity Flower anchors, using a breakout hero SKU and accelerating mid-tier entries to consolidate category leadership while Pre-Rolls provide incremental lift.

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.
