Winter 2025 Las Vegas Market delivered optimism for buyers and exhibitors

The late January show featured strong order writing and many opportunities for industry connection.

Las Vegas Market delivered renewed optimism throughout all key categories this Winter, with strong order writing, broader resources and industry connection at the event, Jan. 26-30 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, ANDMORE CEO. “Las Vegas was a testament to the power of optimism, unity and rebound across the industries that we serve.”

The Winter 2025 edition of Las Vegas Market served four key industries — bedding, furniture, gift and home decor — with each category citing notable resource gains to satisfy buyers. Retailers and designers from all 50 states and more than 60 countries found refreshed product and experiential programming as some of the best features at the event.

Buyers looking to replenish inventory left World Market Center both satisfied and inspired.

Brad Priest, creative director and owner of J&B Home Décor & Gifts in Elkhart, Indiana, said Las Vegas Market has had a positive impact on his business. “January 2025 marks my 19th Las Vegas Market. This is my No. 1 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 decor, gift and gourmet treats.”

Las Vegas Market used the new year as an opportunity to transform the on-site experience. Complimentary massages, morning mimosas and nightly themed gatherings ensured a positive energy from the showrooms and temporary exhibits. On-site education offered business insights and trend tips throughout the event. Highlights included a Create & Cultivate Business Bootcamp, engaging business owners on entrepreneurship and building a community.

Many of Las Vegas Market’s more than 3,500 exhibitors discovered a renewed sense of optimism as sales and new accounts permeated the event. Gift exhibitors boasted improved sales and high energy throughout the week.

“We’re really seeing a reenergization 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,” said Emalee Hoffman, CMA vice president of sales. “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.”

In the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas, many of the over 450 trade show exhibitors had a good 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 Thorne, sales and development manager at Milkhouse Candle Co. “Winning a Market Snapshot award and hosting a candle activation also truly helps us to get in front of new clients and see what people are excited about.”

As an extension of the market experience, ANDMORE launched a United for California fundraising campaign during its Winter markets. In partnership with Gift for Life, the initiative supports World Central Kitchen’s crisis-related hunger relief for California wildfire first responders and affected communities. The campaign has raised nearly $30,000 to date and will continue into ANDMORE’s February Apparel Markets.

Summer 2025 Las Vegas Market runs July 27-31 at World Market Center Las Vegas. In addition to gift and home resources, the Summer Market will also feature the first co-location of *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo as well as industry award events across furniture, bedding and stationery.
