Comparing Canadian Cannabis Retail Markets

We compare Headset’s sales data across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario (private retail only), and Saskatchewan to see how these provisional differences are expressed.

In October 2018, Canada became the first G7 nation to federally legalize cannabis with national laws and regulations that allow LPs to ship products from coast to coast. This creates some level of consistency across the Canadian cannabis market, but there are still differences between provinces. This is mainly because during legalization in Canada, provinces were able to self-determine the level of involvement they would have in the retail and distribution sectors of the cannabis industry.

We’ve already seen some big picture differences between provinces, and unsurprisingly there are significant differences when we drill down to the basket level as well, for example, the Ontario market has significantly higher average basket sizes than any other province, more than 25% higher than Alberta!
