Market Comparison
When comparing Missouri's market to other states, it's evident that MO is one of the leaders in terms of growth rates and pricing. For instance, while states like New York and Ohio have seen higher year-over-year sales growth rates of 419.2% and 94.3% respectively, these are outliers likely due to recent market openings or legislative changes. More established markets like California and Colorado show more modest growth or even declines, with -3.1% and -5.3% respectively.
Missouri's pricing is on the higher end compared to the national average, which could be indicative of a less saturated market or higher regulatory costs. Here's how Missouri stacks up in October 2024:
