Market Comparison

Maryland’s market size places it in the upper-middle tier nationally, with October 2025 sales of $97.4 million. This is higher than states like Nevada ($56.2M) and Oregon ($76.9M), but below larger markets such as California ($313M), Michigan ($263M), and Illinois ($154M). Maryland’s average item price of $27.69 is among the highest in the country, surpassed only by states like New York ($31.71) and New Jersey ($31.67). Growth rates in Maryland are modest but positive, with a 1.4% YoY sales increase and 4.0% MoM growth in October. This contrasts with declining or flat sales in mature markets like California (-7.3% YoY) and Colorado (-2.0% YoY), and is more in line with other newer adult-use markets such as Missouri and Ohio.
