IKEA, the Sweden-based global retail chain, is preparing to launch goods produced by Turkish furniture manufacturers across international markets, according to a top executive of the local unit.
“Turkey is one of the leading markets in terms of yielding growth for IKEA. We are already planning to open two more stores in the next five years, in addition to the five IKEA stores we already have here,” said General Manager Fuat Atalay.
The Swedish firm already exports a number of Turkish products, including ceramics, china, textile products and accessories. Total exports of Turkish products through IKEA reached approximately $500 million last year, up from $200 million in 2003, according to Atalay. “We aim to increase this volume to $900 million in five-years’ time,” he said. The company could easily reach this target if Turkish furniture were to be available from IKEA shops in near future.read more
