Illinois Cannabis Sales
Jan, 2026
Overview
Illinois remains a major player in the US cannabis market, with total sales reaching $121.8 million in January 2026. Over the past 24 months, the market has experienced some volatility, with periods of both growth and contraction. After peaking in early 2024, sales have trended downward, with year-over-year declines of around 10% in recent months. Despite this, Illinois maintains a strong market size, ranking among the top five states nationally.
Pricing in Illinois is notably higher than most other mature markets. The average item price in January 2026 was $27.44, well above the national average and significantly higher than states like Michigan ($8.61) and California ($18.56). This premium pricing reflects both regulatory factors and limited competition, but it may also be contributing to recent declines in unit sales as price-sensitive consumers seek alternatives.

Category Performance
While Flower and Vapor Pens dominate overall sales, the Pre-Roll category is showing a unique trend. Pre-Rolls generated $14.3 million in January 2026, with an average item price of $17.00—a notable decrease from the previous year, suggesting increased competition or shifting consumer preferences. Within Pre-Rolls, the "Connoisseur / Infused" segment is especially dynamic, accounting for nearly half of all Pre-Roll sales and commanding a premium price point.
