By 1990, the company’s top management realized that if it was going to succeed in North America, it would have to customize its product offering to North American tastes. The company set about redesigning is product range. The drawers on bedroom chests were designed to be 2 inches deeper—and sales immediately increased by 30 to 40%. IKEA now sells American style king and queen size beds, measured in inches, and it sells them as part of complete bedroom suites. Currently it is redesigning its kitchen furniture and kitchenware to better appeal to American tastes. The company has also boosted the amount of products being sourced locally form 15% in 1990 to 45% in 1997,which make the the company far less vulnerable to adverse exchange rate movements. By 2000, about one-third of IKEA’s total product offering were designed exclusively for the U.S. market.
