The macro market beyond the pandemic remains extremely competitive for two primary reasons. First, the opening of new cannabis retail stores continues to outpace market growth, in particular in Ontario where there are nearly 1400 cannabis retail licenses in circulation, relative to 65 in 2020. Secondly, loss leading priced retailers continue their focus of buying market share, this was most prevalent in the Alberta market.
According to Choom, the cannabis retail sector remains fragmented with no retailer achieving greater than 5% market share, setting the stage for consolidation within the sector. Choom is and will remain very active in the M&A space over the coming months.
