Tapcon

Tapcon Market Overview

According to in-store data from Grips Intelligence covering January 1 through September 30, 2026 across Lowe's, Menards, Ace Hardware, and Home Depot, Tapcon — a brand of Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) — generates the bulk of its tracked revenue from just two retailers. Lowe's accounts for 53.7% of year-to-date revenue and Menards a further 39.6%, leaving Ace Hardware (4.7%) and Home Depot (1.4%) as comparatively minor contributors. The brand's average product price sits at $16.79 year to date, though the most recent month tracked came in higher at $17.31, up 1.6% month over month. Pricing has drifted upward by 1.9% across the measured period, while revenue slipped 0.5% overall and fell 2.3% in the latest month. That combination of rising average prices against modestly softening revenue suggests unit volumes, rather than pricing, are the pressure point for Tapcon in the current retail environment.
