Overview

Colorado's cannabis market has experienced a notable shift in pricing and sales dynamics over the past year. As of August 2024, the average item price in Colorado stands at $16.79, a slight increase from July's $16.37 but still lower than previous months, reflecting a broader trend of price adjustments in the market. Total sales for August 2024 reached approximately $100.91 million, marking a decrease from earlier in the year. This downturn is part of a year-over-year sales decline of 13.6%, with unit sales also decreasing by 5.1% compared to the previous year. These figures suggest a cooling period for the market, possibly influenced by market saturation or regulatory changes.

The past 24 months reveal a volatile market with peaks and troughs in both sales and pricing. The highest recorded sales were in September 2022 at approximately $129.28 million, with a gradual decline to the current figures. This fluctuation can be attributed to various factors including consumer behavior changes, economic conditions, and competitive market forces. The month-over-month growth has been inconsistent, with some months witnessing sharp declines and others modest recoveries.
