Uber Technologies has ended its acquisition of Delivery Hero’s Foodpanda in Taiwan, the Germany-based tech firm said on Tuesday.

The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said that if Uber acquired Foodpanda, its market share in Taiwan would increase to 90%, potentially leading to price increases by Uber. Uber Eats and Foodpanda are the top players in Taiwan’s food delivery market.
