Benchmarking
Market ComparisonApr 2026
Alaska's two-year sales decline of 12.6% places it among the more challenged small-tier markets in the country, with contraction accelerating rather than stabilizing. The state's 187 dispensaries are essentially flat year-over-year, and unlike peer markets that have seen price drops drive volume, Alaska's slight 1.7% price increase has not offset falling demand. Geographic isolation and a short tourist season distinguish this market from lower-48 peers facing similar headwinds.

| Alaska | $15-20M | 9.1% |
| Virginia | $15-20M | 3.2% |
| Mississippi | $15-20M | 6.9% |
