Overview

The cannabis market in British Columbia (BC) is currently experiencing a nuanced landscape of growth and pricing dynamics. As of March 2024, total sales reached $60.39 million with over 2.85 million units sold, reflecting an 8.4% month-over-month sales growth and a 9.0% increase in units sold. However, year-over-year data indicates a slight decline in sales by 4.2%, with unit growth modestly up by 3.7%. The average item price has seen a decrease from $22.92 in March 2023 to $21.16 in March 2024, suggesting that consumers are becoming more price-sensitive or that the market is adjusting to increased competition and supply.

Despite the overall market's year-over-year sales dip, certain categories are outperforming others. The average item price across categories has generally decreased, aligning with the broader market trend towards more competitive pricing. The market's resilience is evident in its ability to maintain growth in unit sales, indicating a steady consumer demand that could be leveraged for future market expansion.

The capsules category in British Columbia (BC) has shown an interesting divergence from the overall market trend. In March 2024, the category achieved $854,170 in sales with 31,231 units sold. Notably, the segment of Hybrid capsules experienced a substantial year-over-year sales growth of 82.4% and a unit growth of 58.7%, despite the overall category's average price remaining stable at $27.35.
