8 Products from the National Hardware Show That Are Most Likely to Succeed

Every year the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas attracts hundred of new product innovators that are showing their inventions for the first time. When you wander down the aisles you can see some of the most cutting-edge products before they even hit the shelves of Home Depot, QVC or even Shark Tank!

The new products that you see are at a pivotal point in their lifecycle. Often times, inventors will go to a tradeshow in order to access big-box retailers in order to get their first large purchase order. Once they receive that PO from a retailer, they can proceed with their first round of major production.

At this year’s show, we saw a ton of inventions that were focused on Outdoor Entertainment and Utility. The trend of enjoying backyard life is reflected in the diverse range of products catering to outdoor enthusiasts.

Here is our list of the 8 Products Most Likely to Succeed from the National Hardware Show :
