Overview

Overview

New Jersey’s cannabis market generated $100.0 million in sales in October 2026, up 4.3% from September but down 0.5% year over year. Sales have remained close to the $100 million mark, though growth has not been consistent: eight of the past 12 months posted year-over-year gains.

Pricing pressure is offsetting stronger unit demand. October unit sales rose 11.8% year over year, while the average item price fell from $32.03 to $28.50, a decline of 11.0%. This gap helps explain why dollar sales were nearly flat despite more products being sold.
