Ikea looks to expand second-hand furniture offering after test success

Published on 28/01/2025 - 12:48 GMT+1 The Swedish furniture maker is going head to head with competitors including eBay and Depop. Ikea is planning to expand its European marketplace for second-hand furniture as demand for pre-owned goods remains strong. The decision comes after the Swedish multinational launched two successful pilot projects in Madrid and Oslo - which will be expanded to all of Spain and Norway until August. "It works - people like it," Jesper Brodin, CEO of IKEA's largest franchise Ingka, told the Financial Times. "We have decided to expand it from Madrid to Spain, and from Oslo to Norway. In a couple of years, we want to scale it up to all markets in Europe."
