This acquisition marks one of the largest consolidations in the global food delivery sector, directly challenging competitors like DoorDash and Just Eat Takeaway. Antitrust regulators will closely scrutinize the merger for market concentration, making it a critical test case for tech-led logistics expansion and cross-border M&A approval standards.
