Optimus

Optimus Market Overview

Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across Lowe's, Home Depot, Amazon and Newegg from January 1 through September 30, 2026 shows Optimus, a brand held since 2007 by Switzerland's privately owned Katadyn Group, concentrating the bulk of its sales in home improvement retail. Lowe's accounts for the largest slice of year-to-date revenue at 40.3%, followed by Home Depot at 28.9% and Amazon at 26.6%, while Newegg contributes a marginal 4.2%. Momentum softened over the July–September window, with revenue falling 16.2% across the quarter and declining a further 6.6% in the most recent month. Pricing has also drifted lower, with the average price ending the period at $42.51 after a 4.0% decline, below the $45.17 year-to-date average. The combination of falling volumes and easing average prices suggests Optimus is facing discount-led pressure in a channel mix heavily dependent on two big-box retailers.
