Ikea confirms supply disruption hampering product flow to Ireland

Ikea has admitted that supply chain disruption has hit its Irish business. The Swedish furniture retailer said currently product availability is down by around 10% across its Ireland and UK stores.

Ikea is the latest company to warn of supply chain disruption affecting its Irish operations, with a significant portion of its normal product range currently unavailable to customers in Ireland.

The Swedish homeware retail giant – which operates a huge store in Ballymun in north Dublin and a click-and-collect operation in Carrickmines in south Dublin – said earlier this week that it was suffering supply chain issues and was struggling to meet high demand for certain products, most notably mattresses, especially in the UK.
