Insights you need on the cannabis marketplace

Measure current sales and future growth

Our CannaUseTM report provides insights into industry sales and product segment share along with modeled estimated sales for non-legalized markets. As we continue to source sales data from cooperating dispensaries we will provide trended and lower level sales and share metrics at more granular levels.

Drill down into key geographies

CannaMapTM is a proprietary tool that allows building trade areas and forecasting localized demand. The Cannabiz Consumer Group is able to take its complete suite of analytics to a localized level based upon distance to a dispensary or drive-time minutes with times calculated based upon the saturation of each custom geography.

Armed with this information manufacturers and retailers can take action to protect their franchise through an understanding of which areas of the country are currently at the greatest risk and which areas are most at risk as legalized recreational use is passed.

As an example, we profile trade areas on number of users and non-users, formulations, key barriers that the specific trade area population has in become a user, characteristics that can activate additional sales for the localize customer-base, need states, and propensities to migrate to and from competitive industries such as over-the counter medications, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco.

Sales yield performance metrics and benchmarks, but CannaUsTeM decomposes sales further into two components: the % of the population purchasing and the average dollars spent per purchaser.
