Instagram, a popular image-sharing platform with over 1 billion active users, remains a subsidiary of Meta (formerly Facebook) and is not a publicly traded company. Despite its significant contribution to Meta's total revenue, accounting for 45% in 2021, there are no plans for an Instagram IPO. The platform's success is attributed to its strong product-market fit and effective influencer marketing campaigns. Since its acquisition by Facebook in 2012, Instagram has introduced key features such as Instagram Ads, Stories, carousel posts, and IGTV. To gain investment exposure to Instagram, investors can purchase shares in its parent company, Meta, which is available on NASDAQ under the META ticker symbol.
