The “Grand Canyon State” legalized adult-use sales just over two years ago, and though the Arizona market parallels other US markets in many ways, it has some notable exceptions.

Category composition is consistent with other US markets, but the overall market has exhibited slower growth than most emerging markets, up only 2% since 2021.

Pricing compression has also been less severe in AZ than in other US markets, with the EQ price of flower only dropping 13% from January to December 2022.

Given the market’s heavy verticalization, there has been significant brand consolidation (only second to Massachusetts), mostly driven by flower-producing ‘House Brand,’ defined as any brand produced and sold by a retailer within the same retail chain.

The cannabis industry is still facing unique challenges when it comes to advertising and media coverage. With the industry being federally illegal, many mainstream media outlets are hesitant to cover cannabis-related news or feature cannabis businesses. This has led to a rise in cannabis-specific media outlets, but even they face challenges such as limited access to advertising channels and the constant threat of censorship on social media platforms. In this podcast, we explore the challenges facing cannabis media and how industry leaders are finding creative solutions to navigate these obstacles.

There's been a trend of decreasing cannabis sales across all markets in North America.

Sales growth is negative for most states and provinces, with Michigan being the outlier with a significant increase in sales growth.

Despite the overall downward trend in sales growth, the YOY growth in Canada was above normal, however, same stores sales were down. This indicates people are finding other stores to visit, either due to closer proximity, lower prices, or better product selection.

Across the board, the year-over-year (YOY) sales growth rates are decreasing. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as changes in consumer behavior, increased competition, or an economic downturn.

Most of North America has negative same-store sales growth, with Canada seeing the lowest growth rates followed by Colorado and Nevada in the US.
