KBIS 2025: countertops in the context of the complete kitchen
Product reveals and a broad kitchen-and-bath audience put surface decisions alongside cabinetry, fixtures and design.

KBIS closed its 2025 Las Vegas edition on February 27 after three days of exhibits and programming. Its official report listed more than 43,000 registered KBIS visitors, nearly 700 exhibitors and over 150 first-time exhibitors.
The organizer separately reported more than 124,000 registered visitors for the combined Design & Construction Week. Those totals describe different scopes and should not be substituted for one another. The KBIS account also included Caesarstone among the brands discussing their show experience.
Surface selection is part of a larger decision
A fabrication business benefits from understanding what happens around the countertop: how the kitchen is designed, which fixture details are being promoted and what information the customer receives before a measure is booked.
An exhibition is a good starting point for those conversations, but the useful result is a current specification and a clear handoff. When following up on a product reveal, record the exact product name and intended application. Ask which documentation is available for the people who will quote, measure and fabricate the work.
The 2025 edition's breadth is its main attraction for a stone business. It connects surface suppliers with the designers, builders and other partners who influence the finished room. The official opening photograph provides context for the event rather than evidence of our attendance.
