    Growth over time

    Edition recap

    Fall Market 2026 ran October 17-21 across the High Point Market District. The organiser reports 75,000 attendees each market, including more than 40,000 retailers and designers, 2,000 exhibitors and buyers from more than 100 countries, across 11.5 million square feet of showroom space.

    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    High Point Market is the largest economic event in North Carolina. The High Point Market Authority reports 42,427 total jobs supported, 25,014 direct jobs, $202 million in state and local tax revenue, 50,000+ hotel rooms filled and 75,000 attendees each market. For a supplier, the spring edition is a five-day concentration of qualified US retail and design buyers rather than a broad consumer audience.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    The buyer mix is unusually senior for a furniture event: more than 40,000 retailers and designers attend each market, buyers come from all 50 states, and about 10% of attendance is international. Appointments are dominated by store owners, buying teams and principals from design studios, so showroom conversations tend to carry open-to-buy authority. The trade-only rule filters out consumer traffic, but exhibitors still control access to their own showrooms.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    ROI depends on showroom format and follow-up. A permanent showroom amortises cost across two markets a year and appointment traffic, while a temporary space is a five-day test with lower commitment. Budget for the district's high hotel demand during Market and staff for appointment-led selling rather than walk-in volume. The organiser publishes scale, not per-exhibitor revenue or rebooking rates, so model pipeline from your own appointment list and historical close rate.

    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    North America

    Why it matters

    High Point Market is the largest home furnishings trade event in the United States and the sector's twice-yearly price, product and colour reference point. Retailers and designers use the spring edition to commit open-to-buy budgets before the autumn selling season, while brands use the district to present full collections rather than sample ranges. Its 11.5 million square feet and 2,000 exhibitors make it the broadest single sourcing trip for the US furniture trade.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Whole-home collections and fewer SKUs

    Furniture brands are presenting coordinated living, dining and bedroom groups so retailers can build a complete room from one supplier. Buyers are narrowing the number of vendors they carry and asking for quick-ship programmes that reduce inventory risk.

    What it changes: A smaller vendor matrix rewards exhibitors that can show a coherent whole-home story and reliable replenishment, not just individual hero pieces.

    02

    Design-led lighting and mixed materials

    Lighting, rugs and accessories are increasingly specified as part of the furniture package, with mixed wood, stone, metal and textile finishes carrying across categories. Interior designers are buying these pieces directly rather than sending clients to separate decor retailers.

    What it changes: Exhibitors that connect lighting, textiles and case goods into one scheme can capture more of a designer's project budget per appointment.

    03

    International sourcing and tariff-aware buying

    US retailers continue to diversify sourcing across Vietnam, India, Mexico and domestic workshops as tariffs and freight costs shift. High Point's international buyer share, about 10% of attendance, keeps export conversations alongside domestic wholesale.

    What it changes: Suppliers with transparent country-of-origin, landed-cost and compliance documentation are better placed to win orders in a cost-sensitive buying cycle.

    The home furnishings market circuit

    Book showrooms and hotels eight to twelve weeks before each edition; the spring and autumn High Point dates sit about six months apart.

    High Point anchors the US spring and autumn furniture calendar, with Las Vegas and Atlanta offering complementary western and eastern buying trips. European buyers often pair High Point with Milan or imm cologne when planning a full year of sourcing.

    First-timer guide

    Follow-up playbook

    1. Tag every scan with the buyer type and next action before leaving the stand.
    2. Send a personalised thank-you and line sheet within 24 hours.
    3. Confirm samples, lead times and FOB terms within three business days.
    4. Schedule a call with unresolved specifiers in week two.
    5. Review pipeline after 30 days and rebook priority accounts for the autumn edition.

    High Point is an appointment-led market, so speed matters. Buyers see many showrooms in five days; the exhibitor that sends a clear recap and price confirmation first is more likely to stay in the consideration set.

    Frequently asked

    When is High Point Market Spring 2027?
    High Point Market Spring 2027 runs Saturday, April 10, through Wednesday, April 14, 2027. Permanent showrooms open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 10-13 and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 14. Temporary exhibits in INTERHALL, the Suites and SALON open a day earlier, on April 9, and close at 2 p.m. on April 14.
    Where is High Point Market held?
    High Point Market takes place across the High Point Market District in downtown High Point, North Carolina, a showroom network of about 180 buildings rather than a single hall. Key buildings include the International Home Furnishings Center, Showplace, Market Square, Suites at Market Square, Plaza Suites, 220 Elm and the C&D Building. Free shuttles link the buildings and Park & Ride lots.
    Is High Point Market free to attend?
    Buyer passes are free when requested during online pre-registration, and passes are also free for exhibitors and media. Industry passes cost $55. A $30 non-refundable onsite processing fee applies to each buyer or industry pass requested after online registration closes. All passes are non-transferable, and payment onsite is by credit card only.
    Is High Point Market open to the public?
    No. High Point Market is open to the trade only, not to the general public. Eligible buyers include retailers, online retailers, interior designers, decorators, wholesalers, importers and exporters, rent-to-own stores, builders, developers and architects who can show trade documentation. Individual exhibitors still decide who may enter their showroom, so access can vary by building.
    How do I register for High Point Market 2027?
    Register through the official High Point Market website before the pre-registration deadline. New buyers must upload one trade credential, such as a state sales tax certificate, EIN certificate, retail business licence, ASID, IDS, DSA, IIDA or AIA membership card, NCIDQ proof, or CKBD or CMKBD certification, plus a business card and photo ID. Approved buyers receive badges by mail.
    What are the showroom hours at High Point Market?
    Permanent showrooms at Spring 2027 are open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Saturday, April 10, through Tuesday, April 13, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14. Temporary exhibits in INTERHALL run 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 9-13 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14. The Suites and SALON open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 9-13 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14.
    How large is High Point Market?
    The organiser describes 11.5 million square feet of showroom space across about 180 buildings, with 2,000 exhibitors of many categories. It reports 75,000 attendees each market, including 40,000+ retailers and designers, buyers from all 50 states and about 10% international attendance. These are organiser-published, per-market figures rather than audited counts for a single edition.
    Can I bring children to High Point Market?
    Children under 15 years old are not allowed at High Point Market. The trade-only policy is enforced at registration and in the buildings, and only service dogs are permitted, not other animals. Visitors should arrange childcare before travelling, because the showroom district and shuttle system are designed for business attendance rather than family visits.
    How do I get around High Point Market?
    Use the free Market shuttles rather than driving between buildings. Park at the Park & Ride lot at 921 Eastchester Drive, High Point, NC 27262, and take the continuous shuttle to the Transportation Terminal at 210 East Commerce Avenue. Airport shuttles are also free; reservations are required from Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham but not from Greensboro.
    Who should exhibit at High Point Market?
    Furniture, upholstery, lighting, rug, textile, wall decor, accessory, cabinetry and outdoor brands selling to the trade should exhibit. The buyer base covers independent retailers, interior designers, online sellers, wholesalers and hospitality specifiers. A permanent showroom suits year-round US distribution, while INTERHALL, SALON and Suites temporaries let newer brands test the market for five days.
