The platform, which allows users to buy and sell used IKEA furniture, will launch in Germany on October 14, 2026, marking the ninth market. The marketplace has already attracted 15 million visits and 95,700 product listings across its first six markets.

Used products are priced on average 60% cheaper than new items, and the platform helps IKEA re-engage customers, with 25.5% of users being new or reactivated IKEA Family members.
