U.S. – The 2019 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), owned by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), is experiencing strong growth in attendance leading up to the show taking place from February 19-21, 2019 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The 2019 residential remodeling market appears poised for exceptional strength as pre-registrations are up approximately 30% year-over-year. “Since 2008, KBIS has continued to experience year-over-year growth,” said Brian Pagel, senior vice president, Emerald Expositions, organizer of the event. “We are extremely excited by the tremendous increase we are experiencing running up to the 2019 edition. KBIS is where collaborations and decisions are being made among all key stakeholders in the industry.”

The 2017-2018 NKBA Market Outlook Report projected the entire kitchen and bath products market in the U.S. to increase 8.3% in 2018, reaching USD 171 billion with an additional 6.7% increase in 2019 to USD 183 billion. Residential remodel/replacement represents 63% of the total kitchen and bath products market; the remaining 37% is new residential construction. The most common areas for renovation and remodeling remain interiors and additions – including kitchens, baths, garages, and porches.

“The strength of the KBIS pre-registration numbers proves the remodeling sector continues to be strong, especially in the kitchen and bath space,” said Suzie Williford, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, NKBA. “The numbers also demonstrate how an all-industry association like the NKBA can bring together key players to drive success.”

The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) co-locates with the International Builders Show (IBS), during Design & Construction week, February 19-21, 2019 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
