2011 Facts & FiguresIKEA RETAILING WORLDWIDE SEPTEMBER 2010 – AUGUST 2011

A year of challenges and opportunitiesThe IKEA business year 2011 has been a somewhat overwhelming year with a number of dramatic events occurring around the world. The world has, among other things, faced a devastating earthquake and tsunami leading to a nuclear disaster in Japan, an entire IKEA store destroyed by fire in Israel and ongoing unrest in the Middle East and Northern Africa. These events have affected not only a number of IKEA retailers but also thousands of IKEA co-workers.

The economic crisis hit most of the Western world with full force during the business year. This has led to almost a standstill in the housing business on many IKEA markets, which in turn affects the home furnishing business. Today, IKEA retailers operate in very difficult market conditions on several of these markets.

However, the IKEA Concept has proven to be strong and continued to grow and gain market share. Overall, more people are visiting IKEA stores and this is resulting in a continued increase in turnover.

In business year 2011, for the first time ever, more than half of the world’s population now live in highly populated areas. In addition, more and more people are moving to urban areas to look for jobs, among other things. As a result, the already limited space in urban areas will further decrease over the coming years.

Small space is a living reality. Today, almost 80% of IKEA customers, in all living situations, have their homes in highly populated areas. The vast majority lives in apartments with limited space. So, the need for smart use of small space is rapidly increasing.

Small space living is one of the IKEA long-term home furnishing priorities. Starting in September 2011, IKEA stores all over the world will begin presenting smart solutions and smart products from the entire IKEA range to turn Small Space Living into Smart Space Living!

WIND UP A BETTER FUTUREThe LJUSA hand-driven torch has no batteries. Instead, it is powered by a capacitor that stores the energy that you generate yourself by winding the lever. Wind it 20–30 times and the LED diodes light up for about 1½ minutes.

LJUSA is a torch that is made to be played with, which is why it has a shape that makes it easy to hold, even if you are only 3 years old. Hopefully, playing with LJUSA will inspire children’s curiosity about how electric light works. It is a torch that literally never runs out of energy for play.

Home is the most important place in the world!The IKEA Concept is founded on a low-price offer in home furnishing. This will never change. The IKEA Concept is, however, a living concept that is continu-ously being developed and improved. Every day, small (and sometimes big) steps are taken to create even more benefits at home for the many people.

The IKEA product range is unique. The range is built on knowledge gained about life at home from the many people on all markets. It is developed, designed and manufactured by talented and skilled people who know material and production techniques and understand that careful use of materials and resources keeps prices low.

Today, close to 151,000 dedicated co-workers work under the IKEA Brand to accomplish the IKEA vision, to create a better everyday life for the many people. And to make your life at home a little bit easier, a little bit more beautiful, and a little bit more enjoyable. That is how all co-workers strive to fulfil the commitment to the many people. So, it is no surprise that everyone working under the IKEA Brand believes home is the most important place in the world!


The IKEA vision

“To create a better everyday life for the many people.”

The IKEA business idea

“To offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products

at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.”

Creating infinityIn the early 1980s, the IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad, realised that to be able to stay true to the IKEA vision of creating a better everyday life for the many, he needed to protect the unique and fast-growing IKEA Concept.

He wanted to create a system that should always be able to act and react in the best interests of the IKEA Concept and the many people. Total independence and an ownership structure for a long-term approach were seen as decisive factors.

To achieve this independence and long-term per-spective, the stock market was not an option for Ingvar Kamprad. He believed that the different companies operating under the IKEA Brand had to find their own ways to build the resources needed for its global expansion and to secure an infinite life for the IKEA Concept.

The IKEA franchise system was established. With the exception of the IKEA Delft Store in the Netherlands (which is owned by Inter IKEA Systems B.V.), all IKEA stores operate under franchise agreements. The franchisor is Inter IKEA Systems B.V., who is the owner of the IKEA Concept.

The franchise agreement gives the franchisee the right to operate an IKEA store in accordance with franchisor’s systems and methods and to use the IKEA trademarks. It also gives the franchisees access to the IKEA product range and the

opportunity to take part in the continuous develop-ment of the IKEA Concept.

Franchising is a mutual business relationship based on a long-term commitment. For the rights to use the IKEA systems, methods and trademarks (as continually developed), every IKEA franchisee pays a franchise fee to Inter IKEA Systems B.V.

Inter IKEA Systems B.V. has contracted various companies, owned by the Inter IKEA Group as well as other independent companies, for services within their specific areas of speciality. These areas include design, production, supply, distribution, marketing and selling, home furnishing, market research, store design, media, concept monitoring and more.

Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is part of the Inter IKEA Group. The parent company of the Inter IKEA Group is Inter IKEA Holding S.A. The Kamprad family controls Inter IKEA Holding S.A. through the Interogo Foundation. The purpose of this enterprise foundation is to support and invest in the Inter IKEA Group and to secure longevity of the IKEA Concept in line with the ideas of its creator, Ingvar Kamprad.

So there it is; the unique Ingvar Kamprad creation to continue the never-ending strives to secure an infinite future for the IKEA Concept and to create a better everyday life for the many people. Franchise structure: Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is the owner of the IKEA Concept.

Franchisees operate IKEA stores under franchise agreements with Inter IKEA Systems B.V. Inter IKEA Systems B.V. is a company legally independent from all IKEA franchisees. Franchisee entities listed here are not intended to indicate accurate corporate names but are merely provided to indicate the group of companies owning the IKEA franchisees.

Reducing wooden pallets IKEA stores are leading the retailing world in saying goodbye to large, heavy and costly wooden pallets. By the end of business year 2011, direct deliveries from suppliers to the majority of the IKEA stores will arrive on paper pallets or recyclable plastic loading ledges.

Paper pallets and loading ledges can be adapted to product size, with optimised unit loads and improved filling rates. This means less air is transported. Product developers and packaging specialists can optimise designs to fit trucks and containers rather than fixed pallet sizes.

From an environmental viewpoint, the non-wooden pallet solutions are significantly better. For example, shipping less air means fewer trucks and lower carbon emissions. Moreover, empty, bulky pallets do not have to be shipped back. Finally, non-wooden pallets can be fully recycled when they reach the end of their working life.

The IKEA Concept CenterThe IKEA Concept Center, located in Delft, the Netherlands, is a unique facility where all IKEA retailers, as part of their franchise agreement, can learn about the IKEA Concept and its recent updates. This is a place where shopping, learning, testing and supporting come together. Here, the IKEA retailers benefit from the competence of specialists in a hands-on learning environment that reflects the IKEA values. In the IKEA Delft Store, IKEA retailers come to experience a fully implemented IKEA Concept, participate in testing new solutions and share IKEA know-how.

The IKEA Delft Store in the IKEA Concept Center is owned by Inter IKEA Systems B.V.
