Ingka Centres, formerly IKEA Centres, has unveiled at MAPIC a major new strategic vision that will see it invest €5.8 billion over the next three years to create new IKEA anchored meeting places across the world.
The move is part of Ingka Centres journey to create new meeting places with a powerful retail attraction, but that go far beyond shopping. Unique IKEA anchored destinations, rooted in IKEA values that serve the needs of their local communities.
Places where people want to spend time, where they connect, socialise, shop, work and enjoy new experiences.
Ingka Centres already operates 45 centres in 12 different markets in Europe, plus Russia and China that welcome 480 million visitors annually. But this is set to increase to 70 locations by 2025, hosting 1 billion visitors, enabling international brands to reach millions more consumers across the world via Ingka Centres portfolio. The company is introducing brand new concepts, entering new markets, upgrading its existing portfolio, and embracing the digitalisation of retail.
