The Spinach® brand ended Q2 2025 as the second most popular brand in Canada with 4.7% market share, and the third most popular flower brand with 4.9% market share.

Cronos Group also reported strong performance in the vape category, achieving the #4 position overall with 6.5% share, and ranking even higher with its vape cartridges at #2 with 8.4% share. The Spinach® Pink Lemonade 1.2g vape cartridge was the best-selling 1.2g vape cartridge in Canada.
