Mr Ring insisted that was not a problem as online sales at Ikea have risen from just above 5 per cent of total revenues five years ago to 22 per cent currently, and that the drop last year was natural as shoppers in many countries had only being able to buy from its website during the pandemic. However, online sales fell by 10 per cent year-on-year. Inter Ikea said that shoppers had returned to its stores – both its classic large out-of-town shops and smaller city centre ones – with sales increasing by 13 per cent. Mr Brodin said the past year had tested Ikea “like never before” as it dealt with supply shocks, the war in Ukraine that led to the shuttering of its Russian business which had accounted for 4.5 per cent of sales, and the tail end of the Covid-19 pandemic. Ikea posted record revenues of €44.6 billion for its financial year to the end of August, up 6.5 per cent compared with the previous period.

Its extra volume is given by the fact that the hair was cut in many layers of different lengths. Already in summer we started to decrease prices in our key families.” This female mullet has a lot of volume on top and without being pouffy. “It is our business model to try to cut prices, not just something philanthropic. But we held back on price increases,” said Jesper Brodin, chief executive of main Ikea retailer Ingka. In recent months the group had started investing in lowering the cost of popular items such as Kallax shelves and Klippan sofas, he said. He added that the December price increases “really hurt us in our hearts” as Ikea likes to cut prices of its products over time.

Jon Abrahamsson Ring, chief executive of Inter Ikea, which owns the brand and concept, said it had absorbed more than €1 billion of cost increases before it raised prices by an average of 9 per cent at the end of last year.
