Meanwhile, in Maryland, Verano's Flower category saw a drop in rankings from 30 to 39, indicating increased competition or shifting consumer preferences. Their Concentrates category, however, maintained a stronger position, consistently ranking within the top 20, although it did not appear in the rankings for January 2026, suggesting a possible decline in market presence.
In New Jersey, Verano's performance in the Pre-Roll category was strong, with a peak at rank 13 in December 2025 before dropping to 25 in January 2026. This fluctuation could suggest seasonal demand changes or competitive pressures. The Flower category also showed resilience, consistently ranking within the top 30. However, their Vapor Pens category did not appear in the rankings for December 2025 and January 2026, indicating a potential decline in popularity or sales.
