IKEA FINANCIAL YEAR SEP 2017 - AUG 2018
Many companies, organisations and people – together – shape IKEA. Each and every person, idea and solution contributes to the big picture. Here is a selection of facts and figures that give a glimpse of the IKEA year that passed.
Shared passions: The key to success
In 2018, the IKEA retail business generated 38.8 billion Euros in sales. Much of this comes down to great collaborations with others, who inspired and challenged us to create an even better product range.
