IKEA said it is firming up plans to enter the Philippine market which has a growing middle class sector. IKEA Southeast Asia sustainability and communication director Lars Svensson during the forum in Makati City Wednesday January 17, 2018 said that the Swedish retailer was finalizing a few details before it could publicly announce the definite plan for the Philippines. "We will come here, We have representatives sitting here".
Lars Sevenson did not name its Filipino partner for the expansion, although there were reports it was tying up with the SM Group. "When it is confirmed then it will be announced. We never say anything unless it has been confirmed, otherwise it will only lead to more controversies. We are ensuring that when we go out, it is a fact and something that will have a strong impact" Lars said.
A local retailer said that the Philippine would be a part of second wave of expansion of IKEA Swedish brand.
