Competitive Analysis of IKEA

SWOT
PESTLE

The SWOT analysis for IKEA gives insight about company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. SWOT analysis is a method of understanding the key internal and external factors that affect the company. The internal analysis illustrates that the D.I.Y. or Do It Yourself concept of assembling the furniture is a major strength of the company, as it minimizes the overall cost involved in manufacturing of furniture. That’s exactly why IKEA furniture is comparatively cheaper, bringing in competitive advantages. IKEA’s key performance indicators are the right usage of raw materials; focus on use of renewable materials and most importantly keeping great design products affordable yet never compromising on quality. IKEA's practice of offering high product quality at low prices is a part of IKEA's veritable strategy and key component for driving sustainable business growth. One of IKEA’S weaknesses is that their store designs needs to be lavish, because IKEA has approximately 10,000 products per store, and this requires high lead time to set up new stores. While DIY concept continues to be IKEAS’s strength it also has some adverse effects on the company. For instance in some Asian countries DIY culture has not interested the masses, leading to a very low or absolutely zero demand of IKEA furniture which is a clear threat to the company. However IKEA is setting up its stores in India and Serbia in 2018 and this is an opportunity as it can expand its base in other developing countries and emerging markets.

IKEA’s major competitors are rent based furniture or ecommerce platforms offering ready-to-use furniture, as they give IKEA high competition in terms of cost and contradicting concept of business model. These rivals are more likely to create adverse impact on people by creating a negative impression about DIYIKEA strategy when ready-to-use is available and can hurt IKEA’s USP posing an open challenge and a major threat to the IKEA Co. An insightful study of the internal and external analysis of IKEA, gives a neat picture about IKEA's business case and strategy.
