Abstract: Abstract With continuously growing e-commerce with its increased demand for fast delivery, various e-commerce players have decided to enter this market to improve both efficiency and effectiveness of the service. Vertically integrated digital marketplaces’ business models, however, raise the concerns of competition and regulatory authorities across the world because of the anti-competitive behaviours they might facilitate. The paper discusses motivations behind and potential implications for competition of the logistic choices in last-mile delivery of important e-commerce platforms, providing a comparison between Amazon, Alibaba and Allegro.
