Ikea's Irish customers face 11% price hike due to rising costs

The global behemoth, which operates a huge store in Ballymun in north Dublin and a click-and-collect operation in Carrickmines in south Dublin, said in September that it was suffering supply chain issues.

Irish customers of Swedish furniture and home accessory giant Ikea were not imagining hefty price hikes recently - going up more than 11% on average.

“Transportation, logistical costs, and local market conditions” are behind its global price rises, Ikea said.
