Arizona Cannabis Sales
Sep, 2025
Overview
Arizona’s cannabis market generated $82.0 million in sales in September 2025, reflecting a challenging period marked by a 12.8% year-over-year decline and a 6.5% drop month-over-month. The market has seen a consistent downward trend in both sales and average item prices over the past year, with the average item price falling to $17.25 (down from $19.13 a year ago). This price compression is likely a response to increased competition and shifting consumer preferences, as retailers adjust to maintain volume in a softening market.
Despite these headwinds, Arizona remains a significant player in the national landscape, with monthly sales still outpacing many mature markets. However, the contraction in both sales and pricing signals a market in transition, where operators are seeking new ways to drive growth and retain customers amid evolving consumer behaviors.

Market Comparison
Arizona’s September 2025 sales of $82.0 million place it in the middle tier among U.S. cannabis markets. For context, California leads with $298.1 million, Michigan follows at $255.1 million, and Illinois at $146.1 million. Arizona’s average item price of $17.25 is slightly below the national average for mature markets, reflecting ongoing price compression.
Growth rates in Arizona are notably weaker than in several other states. While Arizona saw a 12.8% year-over-year decline, states like New York (+46.9%), Ohio (+7.8%), and Maryland (+0.8%) posted positive growth. Even mature markets such as Massachusetts (-1.8%) and Oregon (-5.2%) outperformed Arizona in terms of sales contraction. Unit sales in Arizona also declined by 3.3% year-over-year, compared to double-digit unit growth in Ohio (+27.0%) and New York (+67.5%).

Category Performance
While most major categories in Arizona are experiencing sales declines, the Beverage category stands out for its 2.5% year-over-year growth in September 2025, even as overall market sales fell. This growth is paired with a notable 18.4% increase in units sold, suggesting rising consumer interest in cannabis-infused drinks, possibly driven by innovation and new product formats.
Within Beverages, the Sports and Energy segment posted a remarkable 319.2% year-over-year sales growth, albeit from a small base, while Water and Iced Tea, Lemonade, and Fruit segments also saw strong unit growth. Leading brands in the Beverage category include Keef Cola, Sip Elixirs, and High Tide, each capturing significant share with differentiated offerings and competitive pricing.
