Sour Starburst Market Report: Sales Volume, Market Share, Leading Brands & Market Trends

Starburst is the best-performing sour starburst brand in July 2026, moving 57,000 units across 4 ASINs for 46.3% of Top 10 volume. Shameless follows with 27,000 units (22.0%), ahead of Sour Patch Kids on 19,000 units (15.4%).

With 5 brands splitting the Top 10 and 83.7% of volume sitting with three of them, this is a concentrated shelf — the leaders hold multiple listings or one very high-velocity ASIN, so a new entrant competes against established review moats rather than an open field. Average selling prices among the leaders run from $3.96 to $23.99, which frames the price band a competing listing has to justify.

Based on July 2026 data, this shortlist surfaces the two kinds of ASIN worth keeping an eye on — the ones that just broke into the Top 10, and the ones growing fastest month over month. Specifically, 2 ASINs forced its way in: B0F865ZV1M booked 9K units at $3.96, with ▲ 0.0% MoM change. On the growth side, B06XJNJC5Q leads positive momentum with ▲ 100.0% MoM growth on 2K units.

The two signals carry different weight. A fresh entrant means share has already changed hands — an incumbent gave up its place to make room, so any competitive set drawn up a month ago is now out of date. A steep growth rate works as the earlier warning: it marks demand that is still compounding, usually a month or two before the ranking catches up to it.
