New York Cannabis Sales
Nov, 2025
Overview
New York’s legal cannabis market has experienced rapid expansion over the past two years, with total monthly sales climbing from just $25.4 million in December 2023 to $158.7 million by November 2025. This represents a staggering year-over-year growth rate of 33.2% for the most recent month, even as the market has begun to stabilize after its initial surge. While monthly sales have fluctuated, the overall trend is one of robust and consistent growth, positioning New York as one of the fastest-growing cannabis markets in the country.
Pricing in New York remains among the highest in the nation, with an average item price of $31.67 in November 2025. This is significantly above the national average and reflects both the premium positioning of many products and the relatively early stage of market development. Despite high prices, strong unit growth (+53.7% YoY) suggests that consumer demand remains resilient, and the market is still in a rapid adoption phase.

Market Comparison
New York’s cannabis market is now among the largest in the country, with November 2025 sales of $158.7 million. This places NY ahead of mature markets like Washington ($91.0M), Oregon ($75.5M), and Nevada ($53.6M), and in the same league as Illinois ($127.4M) and Massachusetts ($137.0M). However, it still trails California ($308.5M) and Michigan ($259.5M), the two largest markets by sales.
What sets New York apart is its combination of high average item prices ($31.67) and rapid growth (+33.2% YoY sales, +53.7% YoY units). Most other large markets are experiencing flat or negative growth, with average prices much lower (e.g., Michigan at $8.24, California at $18.80). This suggests that New York’s market is still in a high-demand, low-supply phase, with significant room for price normalization and further volume expansion as more operators and products enter the market.

Category Performance
While traditional categories like Flower and Pre-Roll dominate total sales, the Beverage category stands out for its exceptional growth and shifting consumer preferences. Beverages posted $2.29 million in sales in November 2025, with a 59.3% year-over-year increase—outpacing most other categories. Notably, average item prices in Beverages have dropped from $7.62 to $5.92 over the past year, making them more accessible and likely fueling unit growth (+105% YoY).
Within Beverages, the Carbonated and Iced Tea/Lemonade/Fruit segments are driving the category’s expansion, both posting triple-digit year-over-year unit growth. The “Tea, Coffee and Hot Cocoa” segment, while smaller, saw a remarkable 426% increase in units sold year-over-year, indicating emerging consumer interest in alternative beverage formats.
