Worldwide IKEA Price Comparisons

Source: Idealo Blog

IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer. The popularity and conformity of their products allows for an intriguing price comparison. Back in 2009, prices for the Billy Bookshelf were compared across 38 countries to create an IKEA Billy Bookshelf Index.
In our price comparison, we increased the scope to include 40 IKEA products which can be found in 33 different countries. Five products were chosen from 8 distinct home furnishing categories in order to improve the product diversity in our research and help to ensure the results are not skewed in favour of any particular country.

Since the prices for the USA do not include VAT, we compared the prices for each country both with and without VAT, based on each country’s tax rate.
