The Norwegian Competition Authority (NCA) recently closed its investigation of Foodora, following commitments from Foodora not to use exclusivity clauses. The NCA had suspected that Foodora held a dominant position and raised concerns related to exclusivity clauses with restaurants. Such exclusivity clauses could in principle make it difficult for competitors to enter the market.
Together with Selmer, Oslo Economics supported Foodora in relation to the NCA’s investigation. Using economic theory, extensive and novel information gathering, and insights from Foodora, we analysed and assessed the concerns of the NCA.
