Illinois Cannabis Sales

The cannabis market in Illinois has shown a distinctive trend in terms of pricing and market size. As of May 2025, the average item price in Illinois stands at $27.96, which is a slight increase from the previous month's $27.30. This pricing is significantly higher compared to other states such as Colorado and Oregon, where the prices are $14.69 and $11.99 respectively. Illinois' total sales reached $165.47 million in May 2025, marking a 1.6% month-over-month growth and a slight 3.0% decline year-over-year. This suggests a robust market that, despite slight fluctuations, maintains a strong consumer base and consistent demand.

The state's market dynamics are further underscored by its unit sales, which saw a minor decrease of 0.8% month-over-month but an impressive 10.2% increase year-over-year. This indicates a growing consumer base over the longer term, even as short-term sales volume shows slight volatility. The pricing in Illinois remains on the higher end, which could be indicative of a market that values premium products or possibly a tighter regulatory environment that affects production costs.
