Competitive Landscape
In the Saskatchewan Pre-Roll category, Western Cannabis has shown a significant upward trend, climbing from a rank of 24 in July 2023 to 6 in October 2023. This rise in rank suggests a notable increase in sales, outperforming several competitors. For instance, Redecan started strong in July but dropped to 20th place in August, only to bounce back to 5th place by October. Good Supply has consistently maintained a top 10 position, indicating steady sales. Weed Me experienced a slight dip in rank from 4th to 7th between August and October, suggesting a decrease in sales. MTL Cannabis, similar to Western Cannabis, showed a significant improvement in rank from 37th to 8th place. However, despite these fluctuations, Western Cannabis's rise in rank suggests it is gaining a stronger foothold in the Saskatchewan Pre-Roll market.
