The Competition Development and Consumer Rights Protection Committee of Uzbekistan has officially designated Uklon UB as a dominant entity within the market of intermediary and aggregator services for passenger transport orders. This determination follows a comprehensive market review aimed at evaluating competitive conditions in the rapidly growing digital taxi sector across the country.

In accordance with national competition laws, the company is now legally required to implement an internal antimonopoly compliance system designed specifically to prevent any potential abuse of its dominant market position. Furthermore, regulatory authorities have announced that they will maintain rigorous ongoing monitoring of the company's operational practices to safeguard fair market standards.

Under local regulations, a dominant position is defined as a market share or influence that allows a business entity to operate independently of competitors and exert decisive control over market dynamics, potentially restricting entry for rival firms. For context, the Uklon online ride-hailing service, developed by a Ukrainian IT enterprise, was officially launched in Uzbekistan during the summer of 2023.
