Luxury Products Group (LPG), a leading buying group dedicated to independent luxury bath, kitchen, lighting, and hardware showrooms, announced 10% year-over-year growth, outperforming the broader market during a year marked by significant consolidation and disruption across the buying group landscape.

While much of the industry navigated mergers, shifting alliances, and economic uncertainty, LPG continued to deliver steady performance driven by strong member engagement, disciplined vendor partnerships, and a focused strategy centered on profitability and differentiation.

“Given the amount of turbulence in the buying group world this past year, we’re very proud of this result,” said Jeff MacDowell, Executive Director of Luxury Products Group. “It reinforces that independent showrooms can grow—even in uncertain conditions—when they focus on execution, relationships, and selling with confidence.”

LPG’s growth was supported by:

• Continued strength in luxury and design-led categories
• Increased focus on exclusive brands that protect margin and reduce online price competition
• Higher member participation in events, education, and best-practice sharing
• A disciplined approach to vendor partnerships and program accountability

Despite market pressures from e-commerce, pricing transparency, and consolidation, LPG members who actively engaged with the group saw meaningful benefits, particularly in margin protection and customer experience.

“Our mission is clear,” MacDowell added. “Together, we transform independent luxury showrooms into the most admired, most informed, and most profitable in North America. This year’s performance shows that this mission is working.”

Looking ahead, LPG remains focused on expanding its exclusive brand portfolio, strengthening vendor and member participation standards, and investing in education, events, and tools that help independent showrooms thrive in a changing market.
