Low price is a part of our DNA – we want to create better home for the many people

As people and as a business we have been through challenging times and we, as many companies, two years ago had to increase prices. A tough decision as it’s in our DNA to be as affordable as we possibly can.

In FY23, Ingka Group focused a lot on reducing operational costs and improving efficiency – by investing in technology and training for our co-workers, repurposing our stores and introducing more affordable services. At the same time, there is positive economic developments connected to the supply landscape.

“We feel we have an opportunity to make a bigger step in lowering our prices across many markets. There is still economic turbulence in the world, and we know that people struggle with making means last, which makes this price reduction an important move forward for us,” says Tolga Öncü, Retail Operations Manager, Ingka Group (IKEA).

Which and how many products it is will vary from market to market, as it’s dependent on local economic conditions such as inflation and currency effects. For example, in Czechia, more than 3.300 products or one third of the range has had its price reduced from September 1. These include popular bedroom, living room and storage product families such as HEMNES, MALM, KALLAX or PLATSA.

In Slovakia, more than 1.200 products now have lower prices, as the price of some iconic products, such as the LACK wall shelf, has dropped by as much as 25%. Hundreds of products have their prices reduced in China, France, and many other markets around the world.

The area of storage will remain in focus during FY24 that started on September 1. Through customer feedback and our Life at Home research we see that the many especially seek smart storage solutions and ability to declutter their home at an affordable price.

Ingka Group will continue focusing on keeping its costs as low as possible and offering the best possible prices to its customers.
