Arizona Cannabis Sales
Apr, 2024
Overview
The Arizona cannabis market has shown a dynamic landscape over recent months. In April 2024, the average item price decreased to $18.99 from $19.51 in March 2024, indicating a potential shift in consumer purchasing patterns or market saturation. Total sales for the same month reached $103.43 million, with over 5.44 million units sold. However, the market experienced a month-over-month sales decline of 5.4% and a more significant year-over-year sales drop of 13.5%, suggesting a cooling period for the industry in this state.
Despite the overall downturn, the market's resilience is evident in the unit growth, which remained positive year over year at 0.4%. This could imply that while consumers are spending less per transaction, the volume of transactions has not seen a corresponding decrease, indicating a stable consumer base.

Market Comparison
When comparing Arizona to other markets, it's clear that the state is not isolated in its challenges. For instance, California, a much larger market, also experienced a year-over-year sales decline of 7.1%. However, Arizona's year-over-year sales decline of 13.5% is steeper than some other states, such as Michigan, which saw a 14.4% increase in sales and a 48.1% increase in units sold year over year.
Pricing trends also vary significantly across states. Arizona's average item price of $18.99 in April 2024 is higher than Oregon's $13.29 but lower than Illinois's $31.13, which could reflect differences in product mix, taxation, and consumer preferences.
