IKEA: lower prices, higher sales

Ingvar Kamprad started IKEA in his small farming village in Sweden over 60 years ago. He was only 17 years old and sold his products from his bicycle. When his business grew, he distributed them from a milk van.

He first introduced furniture into the IKEA product range in 1947. Demand for his furniture increased rapidly, so he decided to specialise in this line.

In the mid 1950s, IKEA began designing its own furniture. It wanted to make innovative, stylish products and to keep prices down. This made it possible for a large number of customers to buy IKEA home furnishings.

IKEA opened its first store in Swededn in 1958. In the next 40 years, the number of stores went up to over 150 in 29 countries. In 2005, there were a record 18 new stores – 15 in Europe, three in North America and two in Japan.

Sales for the IKEA rose steadily, year after year At the end of the financial year 2002, sales were at 11 billion euros. At the end of 2006, they totalled 17.3 billion euros.

They are adding more stores to its existing network!
