India, 12th November, 2025: In a year marked by economic uncertainty,  supply chain challenges, and cost-of-living pressures that impacted consumer confidence across many  markets, Ingka Group and its three business areas – IKEA Retail, Ingka Investments and Ingka Centres, reached  EUR 41.5 billion in revenue.

Juvencio Maeztu, CEO, Ingka Group | IKEA said:

“I’m deeply grateful to the IKEA community for their dedication  and commitment managing a challenging year where people continued to feel the impacts of higher living costs and  economic uncertainty. Even in this environment, we kept investing in making IKEA more affordable, accessible and  sustainable while building long-term resilience. Our ownership structure gives us the independence to make long term choices with confidence and stay true to our vision of creating a better everyday life for the many people.” 

Throughout the year, Ingka Group continued to meet more customers where they are, expanding beyond its  traditional IKEA stores into new formats, pick-up points and digital channels. With total capital expenditure of  EUR 3.4 billion, the company continued to invest in building a more sustainable and resilient business. This  included investing in responsible forestry and accelerating investments in recycling companies to bring back materials to the IKEA value chain. In addition, the company continued to invest in renewable energy with new  solar parks in the Netherlands and Poland. The year also saw the full acquisition of Ikano Bank offering integrated financial services and supporting IKEA affordability.  

IKEA Retail is serving more customers and increasing visits to stores with 1.3% and online visitors by 4.6%.  While IKEA Retail delivered sales of EUR 39 billion, a decrease of –1.6% compared with last year (EUR 39.6 billion  in FY24), it sold more quantities, up 1.6%, due to a continued focus on keeping prices low. The year brought  new customer meeting points in key cities such as Delhi, London and Paris, and fresh ways to blend online and  in-store shopping, from the IKEA Pre-owned marketplace to a digitally integrated mixed-use store at IKEA  Shanghai Linkong. 

“As we look ahead, our commitment to the many people remains stronger than ever by offering 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. Our resilience depends on how well we adapt to the fast-changing world and retail environment, so speed, low  cost and simplicity will be important to keep prices low”, added Maeztu. 

Ingka Group delivered an operating income of EUR 1.5 billion (FY24: EUR 1.3 billion) with FY25 net profit  increasing to EUR 1.4 billion (FY24: EUR 0.8 billion), reflecting balanced performance across the business.  Enabled by the company’s unique ownership model, 85% of net profit is reinvested back into the business,  while the remaining 15% is paid as a dividend to its sole owner, the Stichting INGKA Foundation, which funds  the IKEA Foundation, an independent philanthropy that fights global warming with and for the many people.
