Overview
Colorado's cannabis market has experienced a notable shift in dynamics over the past year, with a decrease in average item prices and a contraction in total sales. In June 2024, the average item price in Colorado was recorded at $16.61, a slight increase from May 2024's $15.13 but still lower than the previous year's $18.32. This reduction in price accompanies a total sales figure of approximately $102.76 million for June 2024, reflecting a month-over-month decline of 1.1% and a significant year-over-year drop of 11.9%.

Market Comparison
When comparing Colorado's cannabis market to other states such as California and Illinois, distinct differences emerge. For instance, California, with a total sales figure of $340.41 million in June 2024, shows a larger market size but a similar year-over-year sales decline of 8.5%. Illinois, on the other hand, exhibits growth with total sales of $168.45 million and a year-over-year increase of 3.1%. These comparisons highlight Colorado's unique position with a relatively smaller market size and a sharper decline in sales, suggesting potential market saturation or competitive pressures that are less pronounced in states like Illinois.

Focusing on the Edibles category, it presents a contrasting trend compared to the broader market. In June 2024, Edibles achieved total sales of $19.03 million with an average item price of $14.41, showing a robust month-over-month sales growth of 16.9% and a slight year-over-year sales decline of 1.6%. This resilience in the Edibles market segment could be attributed to consumer preferences shifting towards more discreet and varied consumption methods.
