Why This Matters

IKEA’s expansion strategy signals a shift toward accessibility and urban proximity. By launching in high-traffic city centers and introducing smaller, purpose-built locations, IKEA is future-proofing its brand for modern retail expectations. With over 460 stores worldwide and more on the way, IKEA isn’t just furnishing homes—it’s reshaping how the world shops for them.
