"Our share of online sales grew by 34 %, and our entry into the North market through online and new format stores across Delhi and Bengaluru has been truly rewarding," said an IKEA India statement quoting its CFO Murali Iyer.
During the period under review, 110 million customers visited IKEA India across its channels, which include its physical stores and online sales platform.
"IKEA for Business contributed 19 % to the total sales, growing 20 % year-on-year, while food continued to be both a strong visitation and revenue driver at 10 %," he said.
Its India CEO Patrik Antoni said the goal of IKEA India "is to turn profitable within the next two years".
According to Antoni, the Indian home furnishing market is projected to reach $ 48 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 8.7 %, and IKEA is "truly inspired" by this potential.
"At IKEA, we see a long-term opportunity to contribute to this growth by making home furnishing more affordable, accessible, and sustainable for the many people," he said.
As per the latest annual report filing by IKEA India before the RoC (Registrar of Companies), for the financial year ended on March 31, 2024 (as per Indian accounting standards), it had reported a widening of its total loss to ₹ 1,299.4 crore. Though its revenue from operations was at ₹ 1,809.8 crore, up 4.5 % (for April 2023-March 2024).
In the year ended August 2025, IKEA entered North India with online deliveries, followed by a city store in West Delhi, and also made a Plan and Order Point operational in Bengaluru.

Over 2.2 million food tickets were served in FY25, with close to 1 million visitors enjoying meals in IKEA restaurants across India. The much-loved chicken meatballs remained the top seller with nearly 200,000 portions served, IKEA India said.
Moreover, IKEA has also tweaked its menu with local tastes by offering vada pav in Mumbai, bisibele bhath in Bengaluru, and biryani in Hyderabad, alongside seasonal and festive menus.
