In today’s fast-moving retail ecosystem, the grocery segment has evolved into a dynamic pricing battlefield. From quick commerce platforms like Blinkit (India) to supermarket giants like Carrefour (UAE, France) and delivery-first platforms like Instacart (USA), prices shift every few hours to react to supply, demand, and competitor behavior. Retailers and FMCG brands that rely on outdated price data risk missing out on margins, losing out on cart placement, or being outpriced in local geographies. That’s where iWeb Data Scraping plays a mission-critical role—providing real-time and hourly insights into grocery price drops across Blinkit, Instacart , and Carrefour.
A multinational FMCG brand partnered with regional grocery retailers across India, the USA, and the UAE, seeking real-time, city-wise insights into dynamic grocery pricing on Blinkit, Instacart, and Carrefour.
