Ikea 2006 Catalog
Libby Cowen
After 70 years of success, we have turned the page and said goodbye to the IKEA catalog. But don't worry. Throughout the year, we'll be bringing your inspiring content, together with our product range, on our website, in our stores and social networks.
Everyone has at least one IKEA product in their home. The IKEA designs are timeless and can be used in any interior. The IKEA Catalogue showcases the old classics and the new Ikea products that will be future classics.
The IKEA catalog is great for finding great affordable home items. The best thing about the IKEA Catalog is that these furniture pieces and accessories are showcased in inspiring rooms, from the bedroom to the kitchen.
Online brochures have replaced the IKEA Catalog. There are separate IKEA brochures for specific rooms but also brochures for specific IKEA series. Whether you seek inspiration for the bathroom, the kitchen, or wardrobe solutions, you can find an IKEA catalog filled with inspiration and prices of their products.
The IKEA Catalogue 2024 will be available as digital brochures on the IKEA website. Besides these brochures, IKEA will also release several new collections with new IKEA products and inspiring IKEA rooms.
Throughout the year, IKEA will release several new collections. The Nordroom wants to keep you updated with the latest new products from IKEA in 2024. From the IKEA Christmas Collection to the IKEA Spring Collection. Here, you will find a list of every new IKEA collection in 2024.
IKEA announced a new fall collection, including Halloween decoration for 2024. The collection offers colorful, feel-good, and easy-to-add items for decorating your home for the cozy season.

Good question! We know that a lot of people are curious about what the IKEA catalogue has looked like through the ages. The catalogue has always reflected the age and its views on interior design and everyday living, especially in Sweden, but in recent decades also internationally. The catalogue was in print for 70 years, and by digitising all the catalogues we could make them available to everybody. Making the story of IKEA available to as many people as possible is our main task at IKEA Museum. So we hope that the catalogues will bring some joy and nostalgia, and maybe even a few surprises.
I'm aware that "more copies" is not the same as "more read" or "more popular". But the numbers for the IKEA catalogue have increased, from 115 million in 2003 to 198 million in 2010 (see Peter's answer).
I assume IKEA wouldn't increase the number of copies if there wasn't a demand, after all printing them does cost the company money.
So even though the high print run doesn't necessarily mean it's also more read or more popular, it does seem to imply that the catalogue now reaches more people than any religious (or scientific) publication.
This makes me wonder: what does it say about our culture if the most distributed publication in our world is a furniture catalogue? (This is more of a philosphical question and therefore not part of my actual question)
At best, the answer to this question will be an apples and oranges comparison. Comparing the distribution of a static book to that of a constantly fluctuating periodical is unlikely to produce anything very meaningful. However it is amusing and I like both apples and oranges. So what can we do?
It is unclear what "last year" refers to. Other reports on the page run through 2009, so "last year" may refer to 2008 or 2009. On the other hand the charts might be old and the numbers might be newer. Either way, this is enough to ball park the number, which is more than we will be able to do for the second half of this comparison.
One extra note before we move on is that this number is measured at the press. This is not a number of copies distributed into hands that read them. Pure business sense demands that they have some percentage of over-printing so that stock in stores doesn't run out during the year. Additionally large numbers of copies end up being put to uses other than distribution for reading.
If you want to extrapolate some percentage of growth but also account for the number being print rather than received distribution, I think it's fair to ballpark a current figure in the 150-200 million copies per year range for 2012.
Bible printing numbers are much harder to come by. There is no centralized organization that controls or that can even track production and distribution of printed Bibles. At best, we can identify some of the major players and extrapolate from there to arrive at an order of magnitude figure.
It seem that the media is fond of throwing around the "over 100 million Bibles per year" number, but I was unable to locate a source for it. It seems somebody pulled this out of their sleeve and it stuck. On examining some of the pieces, I think I would pull the same number out of my sleeve.
In the world of Bible printing and distribution, the United Bible Societies is undoubtedly one of the largest players. The group is made up of 146 national Bible Societies working in cooperation to pull off large scale translation, publishing and other logistical projects. There are many printing and publishing operations around the world that are completely independent, but UBS certainly has their hands in a lot of pies. There might be more important players when it comes to translation, but as far as printing and distribution go, they are heavy weight players.
In one entirely confusing piece of journalism, the LA Times reported in 1989 that the 1988 numbers for world wide Bible distribution through the UBS alone crossed the half a billion mark to hit 692,754,925. Exactly. What the article fails to do is identify the difference between "Bibles" and "Scriptures".
Bizarrely, their fancy annual report for 2012 includes no useful data on distribution. There is information on training events, book fairs, translation efforts, printing and distribution centers, but no distribution numbers.
In 2009, 29M full Bibles and 11M New Testaments were distributed. For the sake of this question, I think it's reasonable to lump New Testaments and full Bibles together. This makes something on the order of 40 million copies distributed by UBS during 2009. The 2011 numbers were 32M for Bibles, so there is some growth but only a percentage that won't make or break our comparison either way.
What isn't lumped into that number is "Scripture" printings that are not full Bibles or even full New Testaments. It is quite common to print and distribute large numbers of selections such as The Gospel of John or the Psalms. The distribution numbers for these printed materials is easily an order of magnitude larger than full Bibles. Using the same UBS report for 2009, approximately 400 million such resources were distributed in the same year as the 40 million Bibles through UBS alone.
