New York Cannabis Sales
Aug, 2026
Overview
New York’s cannabis market has shown remarkable growth over the past two years, with total monthly sales reaching $165.7 million in August 2026. This represents a year-over-year increase of 6.4%, and a robust 16.5% growth in units sold. While the market experienced some volatility—such as a sharp spike in December 2025 and a subsequent correction—the overall trend is upward, signaling expanding consumer demand and increasing retail penetration.
Pricing in New York remains among the highest in the country, with an average item price of $29.05 in August 2026. However, prices have softened from a peak of $31.80 a year prior, reflecting increased competition and broader product availability. This price moderation, combined with strong unit growth, suggests that consumers are responding positively to greater choice and more accessible price points.
