Las Vegas Market delivered renewed optimism throughout all key categories this Winter, with buyers and sellers alike sighting strong order writing, broader resources and undeniable industry connection at the west coast's leading Market, January 26-30, 2025, at World Market Center Las Vegas.
"Whether you're a gift shop owner looking for trends and inventory, a furniture retailer restocking your floor or an interior designer managing residential and commercial projects, Las Vegas Market provided something for every buyer," said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORESM CEO. "Las Vegas was a testament to the power of optimism, unity and rebound across the industries that we serve."
Buyers and Industry Groups Find New Product, Education and Revamped Market Experiences

Retailers and designers from all 50 states and more than 60 countries found refreshed product and experiential programming to be just a few of the best features of the buying event.
Buyers looking to replenish inventory left World Market Center both satisfied and inspired. "Las Vegas Market has been pure magic!" said Amariz Interiors, a Houston, TX-based interior design studio in an Instagram post. "Every corner was filled with inspiration: beautiful designs, innovative trends and endless creativity. Staying up to date with the latest in the world of interiors is what allows me to bring the very best to my clients, and this experience has been nothing short of incredible."
Brad Priest, creative director and owner of J&B Home Décor & Gifts in Elkhart, IN, raved of Las Vegas Market's continued impact on his business. "January 2025 marks my 19th Las Vegas Market. This is my number one choice for so many reasons – the energy, the excitement, the special and unique pieces that are offered. My shoppers look forward to me going to Las Vegas Market, because they know I'll return with amazing finds across home décor, gift and gourmet treats."
In addition to refreshed products, Las Vegas Market used the new year as an opportunity to transform the onsite experience. Complimentary massages, morning mimosas and nightly themed gatherings ensured that the positive energy from showrooms and temporary exhibits carried into all corners of campus.
Delia Chatwin of The Lifestyle Collective in Orem, UT, noted, "We've noticed a unique energy at this Market – between the live music, organic conversations and parties, there's an unmistakable liveliness here."
Onsite education offered business insights and trendspotting tips throughout Market week. Highlights included a Create & Cultivate Business Bootcamp, engaging business owners on entrepreneurship and building a community and an American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) standing-room-only seminar, The Future of Interior Design: Unveiling ASID's 2025 Key Trends, signaling a growing interest in valuable industry research.
"We were delighted by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to our trend conversation at Las Vegas Market," said Lindsey Koren, ASID communications director. "Being able to bring the right voices together in a crowded room to explore shifts in lifestyles, work and societal trends is a true testament to the power of collaboration and trailblazing research."
Las Vegas Exhibitors Cite Sales Rebounds, Increased Connections
Many of Las Vegas Market's more than 3,500 exhibitors discovered a renewed optimism as sales and new accounts permeated the Winter Market.
Gift exhibitors boasted transformative sales and high energy throughout the week, noting a fruitful Market season.
Emalee Hoffman, CMA vice president, sales, said, "We're really seeing a re-energization in Las Vegas – customers are happy with the return of Mud Pie, remodels across our brands bring fun pops of energy and little details around the showroom truly make a difference in the showroom experience. Every year, we say that Christmas always comes, and in terms of sales, energy and overall sentiment, Christmas definitely came this Market."
In seasonal gifts, RAZ Imports welcomed buyers from key regions with a warm reception to more than 1,500 new items this season. Debbie Galante, director of sales, said, "Las Vegas is where we meet our western buyer base – we draw retailers from California and Arizona to the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest. We're seeing sales increases year-over-year, so we're excited to report a successful show."
Celebrating its debut in Las Vegas Market, Rock House Farm Designer Brands – including Century; Hancock and Moore; Hickory Chair; Highland House; Jessica Charles; and Maitland Smith – cited an abundant Winter Market with the opportunity to get in front of clients never-before-seen.
"Our first Las Vegas Market was marked by strong traffic full of retailers and designers who'd never visited one of our showrooms before," said Alex Shuford, RHF Investments CEO. "Having a year-round presence in Las Vegas will put us in significantly more western design projects."
As THE national bedding market in the United States, E.S. Kluft & Company identified Las Vegas Market as a key event in maintaining its business. Magali Castillo, VP marketing, said, "Las Vegas Market is a critical show for us. We see customers from all over the world here, and 2025 is already looking positive. Las Vegas really is the reference for the entire bedding industry."
In the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas, many of the 450+ tradeshow exhibitors the Market as a platform for exposure. "Since we're based in the Midwest, it's such a great opportunity to show here in Las Vegas and diversify our customer mix," said Hannah Thome, Milkhouse Candle Co. sales and development manager. "Winning a Market Snapshot award and hosting a candle activation also truly helps to get us in front of new clients and see what people are excited about."
