$8.5 trillion Market, Problems and Solution
The grocery market is expected to reach $8.5 trillion by 2020 of which online sales will account for $300 billion. The grocery industry is one of the largest segments in global retail and forms a large share of the consumer’s wallet.
Main problems of this market are:
- Global grocery is dominated by a handful of retailers – up to 80% market concentration in certain countries
- Manufacturers spend a lot inefficiently on marketing – up to 17% of their costs on trade marketing directed on retailers and wholesalers, not consumers.
And INS Ecosystem solution that can really disrupt the grocery industry:
- The only global decentralized online manufacturer-to-consumer platform that enables consumers to purchase directly from manufacturers without the intermediation of retailers, powered by a self-regulating community of consumers and manufacturers.
- Smart contracts enable manufacturers to run bespoke loyalty programs and reward their customers in INS tokens.
INS Ecosystem will enable consumers to save up to 30% on everyday shopping buying directly from grocery manufacturers. Bypassing retailers and wholesalers means a more personalized and transparent grocery shopping experience at lower prices. Isn’t it of interest to almost everyone?
INS Ecosystem’s strengths
At this moment INS Ecosystem has collected more than 50,000 ETH and this is one of the most successful ICO of December 2017. So how did they do it? Let’s go through advantages the project has.

INS has received strong support from 7 out of 20 global FMCG brands totaling more than 500 manufacturers, including MARS, Valio, Campina, Reckitt Benckiser, etc.

4. Strategic partnership and investments in Australia
INS Ecosystem is active in the Australian market and ready to launch it among the first. This month INS Ecosystem announced partnership with DigitalX – the world’s first publicly listed blockchain technology and ICO advisory firm and founding member of the Australian Digital Commerce Association (ADCA), supported by Blockchain Global Ltd. (operating Australia’s most liquid digital currency exchange).
INS also received over $1M (2,000 ETH) contribution from Australian fund Collinstar Capital and Blockchain Ventures.
The INS Token (INS)
The INS token will be a cornerstone of the ecosystem. It is planned to be the only means of exchange for handling all types of rewards and one of the means of payment within the INS ecosystem.
INS Ecosystem creates up to 50 million utility tokens that provide access to marketing-related services in a decentralized token-based ecosystem. These tokens represent a unit of marketing reward for the network and serve as one of the payment methods.
The bigger the network grows, the more utility in the token — and the number of tokens are fixed (no inflation in the total supply). As the size of the network and transaction volumes within it grows, this will create huge demand for the tokens.
