Arizona Cannabis Sales
Nov, 2024
Overview
Arizona's cannabis market has experienced a notable fluctuation in sales over the past two years. As of November 2024, the total sales reached approximately $88.1 million, reflecting a slight month-over-month growth of 2.0% but a significant year-over-year decline of 21.8%. This trend is indicative of a challenging period for the market, which has seen a consistent decrease in both sales and unit growth over the past year. The average item price in November 2024 was $18.71, down from $20.07 in November 2023, suggesting a decrease in pricing that might be influencing consumer purchasing behaviors.
The market's dynamics are further complicated by the varying performance across different cannabis categories. For instance, while some categories like Beverages and Vapor Pens have shown resilience or moderate declines, others such as Flower and Topicals have faced steep drops in both sales and unit numbers. This mixed performance across categories highlights the diverse consumer preferences and the impact of external market factors such as regulatory changes or economic conditions.
