Morocco Competition Council Approves Settlement With Glovo

On 24 July 2025, the Moroccan Competition Council (MCC) approved a settlement agreement with GlovoApp Morocco SARL, formally closing the contentious proceedings initiated by the MCC's ex officio decision of 19 February 2024. The investigation concerned Glovo's conduct in the Moroccan market as a digital platforms offering online ordering and delivery of meals, where the company holds a structurally strong and strategically central position. Following an extensive inquiry, the MCC issued a Statement of Objections alleging both abuse of dominance and abuse of the economic dependency in which partner restaurants and cafés allegedly found themselves. The concerns raised related to exclusive or quasi-exclusive contracting practices, opaque visibility and ranking mechanisms, and commission structures that may have constrained partners' commercial freedom and impeded competitive conditions in the market.
