New York Cannabis Sales

Overview
New York’s cannabis market has demonstrated robust growth over the past year, with September 2026 sales reaching $160.8 million. This marks a 10% year-over-year increase and a 21.6% rise in units sold, signaling both expanding consumer demand and greater product accessibility. While the market experienced some volatility in monthly sales—such as a notable spike in December 2025 and a dip in early 2026—the overall trend remains upward, with consistent recovery and growth through the summer and into the fall.
Pricing in New York remains among the highest in the country, with an average item price of $28.62 in September 2026. However, prices have gradually declined from $31.63 a year prior, reflecting increased competition and a broader product mix. This price softening, paired with rising unit sales, suggests that consumers are responding positively to greater choice and value.
