Overview

Washington's cannabis market has shown a nuanced trajectory over the past two years. As of September 2024, the average item price in Washington has seen a slight decrease to $12.27 from $12.63 the previous month, reflecting a broader trend of price stabilization after a period of volatility. Total sales for September 2024 amounted to approximately $98.78 million, marking a 5.6% decrease month-over-month and a 4.9% decline year-over-year. This suggests a cooling off in the market, possibly due to market saturation or shifting consumer preferences.

Despite these challenges, the market has maintained a robust unit sales volume, with over 8 million units sold in September 2024 alone. The slight decrease in unit sales growth (-2.8% MoM and 2.3% YoY) indicates that while revenue is down, consumer demand in terms of quantity remains relatively stable. This could be indicative of price-sensitive consumers opting for lower-priced items or simply a redistribution of spending across different cannabis categories.

Market Comparison

When comparing Washington's market to other states, it's evident that WA's cannabis market is relatively mature, which may explain the slower growth rates. For instance, New York and Ohio have shown remarkable year-over-year growth rates of 368.1% and 106.5% respectively in total sales, attributed to recent market openings and regulatory changes. In contrast, mature markets like Colorado and California have seen declines in both sales and unit growth, similar to Washington.
