Ikea decided to stop operating seven offline touchpoints from February 2, 2026, including IKEA Shanghai Baoshan Mall, IKEA Guangzhou Panyu Mall, IKEA Tianjin Zhongbei Mall, IKEA Nantong Mall, IKEA Xuzhou Mall, IKEA Ningbo Mall, and IKEA Harbin Mall. Local customers can continue to experience IKEA products and services through other IKEA stores in their city or through all channels such as IKEA's official website, IKEA app, IKEA WeChat shoppable applet, Tmall flagship store, and Jingdong flagship store. Ikea said the decision is an important step in IKEA's deepening transformation process in China. It aims to build a more resilient foundation for future business growth and focus on local relevance to provide affordable home products and solutions. Over the next two years, IKEA plans to open more than ten smaller stores, including the IKEA Dongguan store, which will open in February 2026, and the Beijing Tongzhou store, which will open in April 2026.
