Market Insights Snapshot
Sunset Connect's performance in the California pre-roll category has been somewhat volatile over the recent months. In June 2025, the brand held the 21st position, but it slipped to 25th in July. Interestingly, it regained its 21st rank in August, only to fall back to 24th in September. This fluctuation suggests a competitive landscape in California's pre-roll market, with Sunset Connect managing to stay within the top 30 consistently, which is a positive indicator of its market presence. However, the drop in rank during September, despite a strong performance in August, might point to challenges in maintaining momentum or increased competition during that period.
The sales figures for Sunset Connect reflect these ranking movements, with a notable peak in August 2025. While the brand's sales decreased in September to $479,048, the August sales demonstrated a significant uptick compared to the previous months. This sales surge in August could be attributed to successful promotional activities or seasonal demand variations. Despite the rank fluctuations, maintaining a consistent presence in the top 30 is crucial for brand visibility and long-term growth. However, the fact that Sunset Connect did not break into the top 20 suggests there is room for improvement in capturing a larger market share in California's pre-roll segment.
Competitive Landscape
In the competitive landscape of the California pre-roll category, Sunset Connect has experienced fluctuating rankings and sales over the past few months.

Notably, Cizi consistently maintained a higher rank, although their sales showed a downward trend from July to September.
