Horizontal integration
Horizontal integration is a stage where a company is ready to expand. They do this by increasing production of goods also the service in regards to the supply chain. This can be done internally via acquisition or merger.
A good example of horizontal integration is Facebook's acquisition of Instagram in 2012 for a reported $1 billion. Both Facebook and Instagram operated in the same industry and were in similar production stages in regard to their photo-sharing services. Facebook, looking to strengthen its position in the social media and social sharing space, saw the acquisition of Instagram as an opportunity to grow its market share, increase its product line, and reduce competition and access potential new markets. All of these things came to pass, resulting in a high level of synergy.
