Market ComparisonAug 2026
Ontario's two-year sales decline of 5.6% sets it apart from newer North American markets still posting double-digit growth, yet its 1,624 dispensaries make it one of the most saturated retail landscapes in Canada. Prices dropped 13.1% year over year, compressing margins even as consumers buy more units, a dynamic that puts pressure on brands and retailers alike to find efficiency gains or differentiate on format and quality.
