One of our daily lives that has changed the most because of the coronavirus is that the number of people delivering food while eating at home is increasing rapidly. Given that interest in the delivery market, the decision of a German company to sell the No. 2 Yogiyo as requested by the FTC to take over the No. 1 delivery app for delivery was attracting attention. I am interested in who will be the new owner of Yogiyo, who has been released for sale.
This is Seong Hwa-seon.

Delivery Hero, a German company, gave up Yogiyo and chose the people of delivery.
This is because of the conditions attached by the Fair Trade Commission while approving the merger with the nation of delivery.
Delivery Hero’s second-largest delivery app Yogiyo is to sell its shares within 6 months.
It is unusual for the FTC to offer conditions to sell all of a specific business segment.
When dinosaur delivery apps appear, competition will disappear and consumer benefits will be reduced.

The market share of the two companies in the domestic delivery app market exceeds 99% based on the transaction amount.
This is why the monopoly controversy continued a year ago when Delivery Hero announced that it would acquire 88% of the nation’s stake in Delivery, the number one in the industry, for 4 trillion won.
The FTC also paid attention to the fact that the People of Delivery and Yogiyo competed with each other and offered more discounts to consumers.
About 27 million people use the delivery app per month.
As the delivery app market explodes due to the spread of Corona 19, it is attracting attention to which company will take Yogiyo.
