Illinois Cannabis Sales
Dec, 2025
Overview
Illinois remains a top-tier cannabis market in the United States, with December 2025 sales reaching $135.5 million. Over the past year, the market has experienced some volatility, with a year-over-year sales decline of 7.2% and a modest month-over-month rebound of 6.3% in December. Average item prices have steadily decreased, from $28.71 in December 2024 to $26.65 in December 2025, reflecting increased competition and consumer price sensitivity. Despite the recent dip, Illinois continues to generate robust sales volumes, indicating a resilient consumer base and ongoing demand.
While the market has cooled from its peak, pricing trends suggest that Illinois is transitioning from an early-stage, supply-constrained market to a more mature, competitive environment. The drop in average prices is making cannabis more accessible, which could help stabilize or even reignite growth as affordability improves for consumers.

Market Comparison
Illinois ranks among the largest cannabis markets in the U.S., trailing only California, Michigan, and New York in monthly sales. However, its average item price of $26.65 is notably higher than most other mature markets, such as Michigan ($8.45), California ($18.41), and Massachusetts ($17.46). This premium pricing reflects both regulatory constraints and limited competition, but the downward trend in prices suggests the gap may narrow over time.
Growth-wise, Illinois lags behind emerging markets like New York (37.8% YoY sales growth) and Ohio (18.4% YoY), and even mature markets like California and Massachusetts are showing modest positive growth. Illinois' -7.2% YoY sales decline signals a need for market adaptation, possibly through expanded product offerings or regulatory changes.

Category Performance
Among all categories, Pre-Rolls stand out for their positive momentum, bucking the overall market's downward trend. Pre-Roll sales grew 3.2% year-over-year and 3.9% month-over-month in December 2025, with unit growth even stronger at 10.6% year-over-year. The average item price held steady at $17.07, making Pre-Rolls an attractive entry point for both new and returning consumers.
Within Pre-Rolls, the Connoisseur / Infused segment is the clear growth engine, posting a 33.3% year-over-year sales increase and a 42.7% jump in units sold. This segment now accounts for nearly half of all Pre-Roll sales in Illinois. Leading brands in this space include RYTHM, 93 Boyz, and Dogwalkers, each capturing significant market share with premium offerings.
