SAMR advances antitrust review of Meituan's acquisition of Maiyatian equity
At a press conference on October 10, 2026, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) discussed its merger review of Meituan's acquisition of equity in Maiyatian, a delivery-aggregation platform service — the first platform-sector concentration case required to file even though it fell below the State Council's filing threshold. SAMR's review found the concentration may eliminate or restrict competition in China's domestic delivery-aggregation platform services market, where the two parties' combined 2024 market share exceeded 50%, and could further strengthen Meituan's market control over online food delivery and instant retail platform markets. SAMR notified the filing party of this preliminary view, after which the filing party submitted a conditional commitments plan. SAMR held a public hearing on the plan on September 18, 2026, attended by competitors including Taobao Shangou and JD, downstream customers including Shansong and UU Paotui, industry associations, merchant and rider representatives, and scholars. SAMR said it will continue the subsequent review in accordance with the law.

SAMR says it will lawfully advance subsequent review of Meituan's acquisition of Maiyatian
At a press conference on the morning of October 10, 2026, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said it would balance development and regulation and lawfully advance the subsequent review of Meituan's acquisition of equity in Maiyatian, a delivery aggregation platform. SAMR said its review found the concentration may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition in China's domestic delivery aggregation platform services market, could affect small and medium merchants' independent choice of delivery capacity and crowd out other third-party capacity providers, and would further strengthen Meituan's market control in the domestic online food delivery and instant retail platform markets; SAMR informed the applicant of this assessment, the applicant submitted a conditional commitments plan, and SAMR held China's first-ever public hearing in a concentration review on September 18, 2026 on whether the plan could resolve the competition concerns.
