Illinois Cannabis Sales
Sep, 2025
Overview
Illinois remains a top-tier cannabis market in the United States, with September 2025 sales reaching $146.1 million. Over the past year, the market has experienced some turbulence, with sales in September 2025 down 7.6% year-over-year and average item prices dropping from $29.98 in September 2024 to $27.98 in September 2025. This price compression reflects increased competition and evolving consumer preferences, but Illinois still commands some of the highest average prices in the country.
Despite recent declines, Illinois has shown resilience. The market saw periods of growth earlier in the year, and the overall size remains substantial. The state’s pricing power is notable, especially compared to more mature markets where prices have dropped more sharply. However, the negative growth rates signal a need for operators to adapt quickly to shifting consumer demand and increased competition.

This growth stands out against declines in Flower (-7.6% sales YoY) and Vapor Pens (-10.0% sales YoY). Pre-Rolls are also seeing a slight dip in average price, from $18.27 to $17.89, making them more accessible to consumers.
