Countries with IKEA Stores in 2026 (Map): All 64 Markets

Few retailers are as instantly recognisable as IKEA. The blue-and-yellow warehouse, the flat-pack furniture, the meatballs and the maze-like showroom have become a global shorthand for affordable design. But where in the world can you actually visit one?

As of mid-2026, IKEA operates in 64 franchise markets — and its most recent global counter listed 504 stores across 63 markets (synchronised 28 November 2025), a figure that has only grown since. The map below shows every country and territory with an IKEA presence, colour-coded by store type. Hover or tap any country for details, and explore the dots for recent and upcoming store openings.

Where IKEA operates

IKEA’s footprint is heavily weighted towards Europe, its home region, with the rest spread across Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. Note that IKEA counts franchise markets rather than sovereign countries — so Hong Kong, Macau, Puerto Rico and Spain’s islands are counted as separate territories from their parent geographies.

🇪🇺 Europe — 32 markets

The heartland. IKEA runs full-size stores in nearly every European country, from Sweden, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Poland to the Baltics and the Balkans. Ukraine remains a market but its retail operations are currently paused, and Russia — once one of IKEA’s biggest markets — has exited entirely.

🌏 Asia-Pacific — 14 markets

IKEA’s fastest-growing frontier. Full-size stores operate in China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and across Southeast Asia. Hong Kong and Macau are served by urban and mall-based stores rather than the classic out-of-town blue box, and New Zealand became the newest market in December 2025.

🕌 Middle East & North Africa — 10 markets

A long-established region for IKEA, with stores across the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman), the Levant (Jordan, Israel) and North Africa (Egypt, Morocco), all run by local franchisee groups.

🌎 The Americas — 7 markets (plus 2 on the way)

In North America, IKEA operates in the United States and Canada. Across Latin America and the Caribbean it has entered Mexico, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico — and Panama and Costa Rica are confirmed as the next two new markets.

IKEA in Europe

Europe is where IKEA began (in Älmhult, Sweden, in 1943) and it remains the densest part of the map — almost the entire continent is covered.

From big blue box to small city stores

For decades IKEA meant one thing: an enormous out-of-town warehouse — the famous “blue box.” That’s changing. IKEA is now opening smaller compact and city-centre stores to reach shoppers who don’t want to drive to the edge of town. In 2026 the company set out to open around 20 new smaller locations across Europe and North America within six months, and reported more than 20 openings globally by the end of April alone.

Recent and upcoming examples include compact stores in Limoges and Le Mans (France), Pune (India), small stores in Beijing and Shenzhen (China), city stores in Los Angeles and a planned second Manhattan store in SoHo, New York. India alone is planning 25 small and medium stores over five years. These are the dots on the interactive map above.

What’s next for IKEA

Beyond the compact-store push, IKEA’s next new countries are Panama and Costa Rica, both confirmed but without announced opening dates. With New Zealand only just added and Latin America expanding, IKEA’s map is still growing — even as the format of the stores themselves keeps shrinking.
