Competition Authority released report on contractual conditions between food delivery platforms and restaurants

On 16 October 2025, the Swedish Competition Authority released a report examining contract terms used by food delivery platforms, including Foodora, Uber Eats and Wolt with restaurants. The report found that exclusive agreements are rare. The report found that in 2020, 51% of restaurants used only one platform and by 2024, that dropped to 18%. It also found that most restaurants use multiple platforms, and exclusive contracts no longer pose a major competitive concern. However, price parity clauses are widespread. It also found that about 31-34% of Foodora's restaurants report that these clauses prevent them from offering lower prices on competing platforms. The Authority viewed horizontal price parity as potentially anti-competitive.
