Benchmarking
Market ComparisonApr 2026
Iowa's five dispensaries make it one of the most supply-constrained markets in the country, yet the state has managed 5.3% cumulative sales growth over two years even as the latest annual period shows a 2.6% decline. Prices rose 5.9% year over year, an uncommon trajectory in a national landscape where most states face downward pricing pressure, largely a function of Iowa's extremely limited retail competition.
