Grab-Foodpanda deal could reshape market: expertsStaff writer, with CNATaiwan’s food delivery market could undergo a major shift if Singapore-based Grab Holdings Ltd completes its planned acquisition of Delivery Hero SE’s Foodpanda business in Taiwan, industry experts said. A smartphone displays Grab Holdings Ltd’s logo in front of a Foodpanda delivery bag in an illustration photograph taken in Taipei on Monday last week. The relatively small market size and dense concentration of food and beverage outlets make delivery services highly substitutable, market analyst Lee Shi-chen (李世珍) said. Questions have been raised about Uber Technologies’ “indirect investment” in Taiwan’s delivery market through Grab, as the US company is its largest institutional shareholder with a roughly 13.1 percent stake. The commission would also look into concerns of “indirect investment” and remain alert to potential market concentration or abuse, Chen said.
