Factbox-How Uber, Delivery Hero and rivals stack up in global food delivery

July 16 – Uber will buy Delivery Hero in a deal valuing the German firm at $14.8 billion to create the largest food-delivery group outside China and stave off intensifying competition.

The transaction continues a consolidation spurred by a slowdown in orders from the pandemic peaks as well as pressure to improve margins.
