New York Cannabis Sales
Apr, 2026
Overview
New York’s cannabis market has experienced rapid expansion over the past two years, with total monthly sales reaching $145.8 million in April 2026. This marks a 15.8% year-over-year growth and a modest 0.8% month-over-month increase. The market’s growth trajectory has been dynamic, with periods of double-digit monthly gains, especially during late 2025, followed by stabilization in early 2026. This pattern reflects both the initial surge of new store openings and a maturing consumer base.
Pricing in New York remains among the highest in the country, with an average item price of $29.22 in April 2026. While prices have gradually declined from $33.53 a year prior, they are still well above the national average. This premium pricing is likely driven by limited supply, high regulatory costs, and strong demand in a densely populated state.

Market Comparison
New York’s $145.8 million in April 2026 sales places it among the top five cannabis markets in the US, trailing only California, Michigan, and Massachusetts. However, New York’s average item price of $29.22 is notably higher than most mature markets, such as California ($17.91), Michigan ($8.50), and Oregon ($11.41). This price premium is a defining feature of the NY market.
Growth rates in New York are also outpacing many established states. With a 15.8% year-over-year sales increase and a 32.9% jump in units sold, New York is expanding faster than California (-7.1% YoY sales), Colorado (-6.2%), and Illinois (-8.1%). Only a few newer or rapidly expanding markets, such as Ohio (+25.9% YoY sales), are seeing similar or higher growth rates.

Category Performance
While Flower and Vapor Pens dominate in total sales, the Pre-Roll category is showing particularly robust growth and unique consumer dynamics. Pre-Rolls generated $30.75 million in April 2026, with a 28.9% year-over-year sales increase and a 47.3% jump in units sold—outpacing the overall market’s growth. Notably, average item prices for Pre-Rolls have dropped from $20.72 to $18.13 over the past year, making them more accessible and fueling volume growth.
Within Pre-Rolls, the Connoisseur/Infused and Hybrid - Single Strain segments are leading the charge, both in sales and growth rates. The top brands in this category are capturing significant market share, with Ruby Farms and Anthem standing out for both sales and product variety.
