LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas Market Summer 2026 wrapped up a busy five-day run at World Market Center Las Vegas with encouraging signs for the home, gift and furniture industries.
Held July 26 through July 30, the summer market recorded a 7% year-over-year increase in buying accounts across all categories, according to preliminary figures released by organizers.
The increase came as retailers, designers and industry professionals explored new showrooms, discovered emerging brands and attended a packed schedule of business events.
New brands bring fresh energy
Product discovery remained a major focus throughout Las Vegas Market.
Buyers explored new permanent showrooms from FoamTex USA, Forward Home Collection, Kitchen2Table, Luxe B Co., PJ Harlow and Qidong Vision. Meanwhile, existing exhibitors expanded or renewed showrooms across the gift, furniture and home décor categories.
This summer also marked the debut of First Finds.
The new temporary exhibitor program gave emerging and established brands another platform to reach buyers. As a result, visitors found new products throughout the five-day event.
Education and networking draw crowds
Las Vegas Market also delivered a full calendar of industry programs.
Major events included the Market Kickoff Party, Furniture Today’s Titans & Trailblazers and the ANDYZ Awards. Bedding News Now’s Best in Bedding program also returned.
In addition, seminars covered artificial intelligence, social media, color trends, design and business growth. Pamela McNally, LuAnn Ngara and Nick Bumba were among the industry speakers.
Guided tours helped first-time buyers navigate the massive World Market Center campus. Trend-focused tours also gave visitors a closer look at new products and changing styles.
Local Las Vegas makers join the market
A partnership with the City of Las Vegas added a strong local element.
The Market in the Alley pop-up featured 10 Las Vegas-area makers. Participants included Alissi, Art of Sze Jones, At the Root, Daria’s Soap and Gem Jaxx Art.
Glass Reshaped, House of Geb, Mist Art Studio, Recycled Propaganda and Vivero Jewelry also participated.
The collaboration gave independent local businesses direct exposure to professional buyers visiting Las Vegas from other markets.
Creativity earns recognition
Awards highlighted some of the most creative exhibitors on the show floor.
Tru-Tone earned Best of Show for its light bulb presentation. Meanwhile, Luzia Leather Home Collection received recognition for product merchandising.
Oh My Mahjong earned the Best Branding Display honor, while Trovelore received Best Use of Color. Icinco Studio took the award for Best Storytelling.
Snapshot awards also recognized The Darling Effect, Azzurro Living, Chala Handbags, Vincent Sheppard and Icinco Studio during market week.
Buyers and brands build connections
Exhibitors reported strong traffic and new business opportunities throughout the event.
Several first-time participants said the market helped them open new retail accounts. Others used the week to reconnect with existing buyers and discuss future growth.
That face-to-face interaction remains an important part of Las Vegas Market’s appeal.
The event brings furniture, home décor, gift and lifestyle businesses together under one roof. Therefore, buyers can discover products across several categories during one trip.
Las Vegas Market will return to World Market Center Las Vegas from Jan. 24 through Jan. 28, 2027.
