South Korean Regulator Fines Coupang $220 Million for Anti-Competitive Food Delivery Practices
The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) has imposed a fine of 300.9 billion won (approximately $220.6 million) on e-commerce giant Coupang. The penalty follows an investigation which concluded that the company leveraged its dominant market position to unfairly limit competition within the food delivery sector. The ruling marks a significant regulatory setback for Coupang as it navigates strict antitrust scrutiny in South Korea. This enforcement action highlights increasing pressure from local authorities on major e-commerce platforms regarding their business practices and market dominance.
