Market Comparison
New York’s July 2026 sales of $162.0 million place it among the top five cannabis markets in the US, just behind Massachusetts and ahead of states like Arizona and Nevada. NY’s average item price of $28.81 is notably higher than most mature markets, such as California ($17.85), Michigan ($8.65), and Washington ($11.68). This premium pricing reflects both regulatory factors and a consumer base willing to pay more for quality and novelty.
Growth rates in NY are robust: 10.4% year-over-year sales growth and 22.7% unit growth. By comparison, California’s sales grew just 2.7% year-over-year, while Michigan saw a 5.1% decline. Only Ohio and Massachusetts posted higher year-over-year sales growth rates among major markets.
