Market Comparison
Comparing Washington to other major markets like California and Colorado, Washington's cannabis market is smaller in scale but shows unique characteristics. For instance, California's total sales in November 2024 were significantly higher at approximately $346.41 million, but it experienced a slight year-over-year decline of 0.5%. Colorado, with a total sales of $94.28 million, also saw a year-over-year decline. This positions Washington as a market with stable, albeit slow, growth in contrast to larger states experiencing declines.
Washington's pricing trends are also distinct. The state's average item price is one of the lowest among major markets, which could be contributing to its steady unit sales growth. This pricing strategy might be helping maintain consumer interest and market stability in Washington compared to the higher-priced markets like New York, where the average item price is significantly higher.
