What is Instagram?

Instagram is a globally dominant social media platform, initially launched in October 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. It was later acquired by Facebook (now Meta Platforms Inc.) in 2012 (Investopedia). As of 2025, Instagram has over 2 billion monthly active users, making it one of the top three most-used platforms worldwide (Statista). 

This massive user base includes individuals, influencers, and brands - positioning Instagram as a hub for personal expression, community building, and business growth.

Instagram is more than a social media platform, which is also a powerful sales and engagement engine. Here's why: 

  • 90% of Instagram users follow at least one business, highlighting a strong brand-user connection  
  • 70% of shoppers turn to Instagram for product discovery, making it a prime touchpoint in the consumer journey  
  • Instagram Shopping features like product tags, Reels, and the Shop tab let users go from discovery to purchase without leaving the app 
  • With users spending an average of 30 minutes per day on Instagram, it's one of the most engaging platforms for reaching consumers. 

 

In today's digital landscape, establishing a strong social media presence is crucial for business success. Instagram's visually-driven platform allows brands to showcase products and services creatively, fostering deeper connections with potential customers. Features like shoppable posts and Reels enable businesses to seamlessly integrate their offerings into users' daily feeds, enhancing the likelihood of conversions.
