The Competition Authority of Slovenia has launched an investigation into the food delivery market through digital platforms in the country, citing circumstances indicating possible competition limitations or distortions.

The rise of online shopping, including food delivery, in Slovenia in recent years has led to the widespread use of digital platforms for ordering goods, with a particular focus on food delivery services. The limited number of participants in the market and the lack of new entrants have also drawn attention, especially after a key player, GLOVO, announced its exit from the market.

The Authority is currently gathering and analyzing data from relevant stakeholders in the sector as part of the investigation to better understand the competitive landscape and ensure compliance with competition laws. The investigation is not targeted at specific market participants but aims to assess the overall market dynamics.

Once the investigation is concluded, the Competition Authority plans to publish a report on its findings on its official website, providing transparency on the process and outcomes of the sector inquiry.
