IKEA is expanding its presence in Latin America through new digital and physical retail models.

In Chile, the company has entered a strategic alliance with Falabella.com to launch an authorized marketplace. This marks the first time an IKEA-authorized marketplace has been established on a platform outside of Asia.

Simultaneously, IKEA is entering the Costa Rican market via a partnership with the Sarton Group. This expansion will begin with an e-commerce platform, followed by a phased rollout of physical locations, including a logistics and planning space at Lindora Business Park and future stores in Curridabat and Escazú.
