China's Major Food Delivery Platform Could Reconsider Subsidies Amid Regulatory Fines, S&P Says

Regulatory fines on China's major food delivery platforms could lead to players veering away from subsidies and instead adopt efforts focusing on quality, S&P Global Ratings said in a Monday release.The fines point to authorities' efforts to tone down heightened competition, or involution, in the segment, S&P said.The regulatory move will enable major players such as Meituan (HKG:3690), Alibaba (HKG:9988), and JD.com (HKG:9618) to focus on quality rather than on subsidies, which could lead to better profits after a decline last year, the rating agency said.However, long-term impact will depend on whether the rule will be thoroughly enforced, S&P said.

Continued elevated competition between major companies in China's on-demand delivery market raises the risk of a persistent price war amid a delay in subsidy reductions until 2028, S&P Global Ratings said in a recent release.These create adverse conditions for all players, S&P said.Major platform operators Meituan (HKG:3690), JD.com (HKG:9618), and Alibaba Group Holding (HKG:9988) have allocated significant spending to seize a share of the on-demand delivery markets, such as food and online retail, S&P senior analyst Jay Lau said.These fast-paced segments account for more than 6% of China's retail sector, S&P said.The negative impact of the price war will be greater than expected, continuing the negative trend on major players' EBITDA since 2025, Lau said.
