DoorDash delivers latest deal as industry consolidation gathers pace
Oct 29 (Reuters) - Doordash DASH.O said on Thursday it would buy US grocery delivery rival Instacart CART.O in a deal valued at about $17 billion.
Intensifying competition amid cautious consumer spending, slower growth since the pandemic boom and mounting regulatory and labor-related costs are driving a consolidation in the delivery industry.
In July, Uber UBER.N agreed to buy Germany's Delivery Hero to create the largest food-delivery group outside China.
