Amazon’s $1.7B iRobot acquisition scrutinized by UK on competition grounds

The U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has confirmed that it’s assessing Amazon’s proposed acquisition of robot vacuum maker iRobot.
The case is still at its earliest possible stage, where the CMA is essentially soliciting comments from relevant stakeholders to establish whether there may be a “substantial lessening of competition” in the U.K. as a result of Amazon buying iRobot.
The CMA hasn’t provided any specific timescales or deadlines for when it will announce whether to proceed with an official investigation.
