Foodora's decision to cease operations in Finland is set to have significant implications for both consumers and restaurants. With Wolt gaining a temporary monopoly, competition expert Olli Kauppi notes that Wolt will likely avoid drastic changes to its service conditions to maintain its brand image and relationships with restaurants and loyal customers. This indicates that Wolt is aware of the need to preserve its standing in the market, particularly as it navigates the aftermath of Foodora's departure.

Moreover, Kauppi highlights that the exit of Foodora could ease the pressures Wolt faced in competing for market share, as both companies had been in a closely contested battle for dominance. The dynamics of the delivery service market are such that once a platform takes the lead, it can shift the market in favor of that dominant actor. This insight reflects on the nature of competition in the food delivery sector and the resulting pricing strategies aimed at both consumers and restaurants.

As Wolt prepares to capitalize on its newfound position, the competition does not necessarily die down. Instead, Kauppi suggests that aggressive pricing strategies, including customer loyalty programs, will likely continue to play a pivotal role in shaping consumer choices. The ongoing dynamics between delivery platforms like Wolt and the local restaurants underline the importance of maintaining competitive offerings to attract and retain customers, indicating a significant shift in the food delivery landscape in Finland as these platforms navigate their evolving roles.
