Its technology is available in over 70 countries, principally the United States and Canada, Latin America, Europe excluding Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific excluding China and Southeast Asia, and it operates in more than 15,000 cities. There are three operating and reportable segments: Mobility, Delivery and Freight. In 2025 the platform had 202 million monthly active platform consumers, 18% more than in 2024, took 13,567 million trips, 20% more, and carried gross bookings of $193,454 million, 19% more. The company and its subsidiaries had approximately 34,000 employees at the end of 2025.

Uber is a technology platform for moving people and things from one place to another. It connects riders with independent providers of ride services, connects consumers with restaurants, grocers and other stores and with the couriers who deliver from them, connects consumers with public transport networks, and connects shippers with carriers in the freight industry. Its technology is available in over 70 countries, principally the United States and Canada, Latin America, Europe excluding Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific excluding China and Southeast Asia, and it operates in more than 15,000 cities. There are three operating and reportable segments: Mobility, Delivery and Freight. In 2025 the platform had 202 million monthly active platform consumers, 18% more than in 2024, took 13,567 million trips, 20% more, and carried gross bookings of $193,454 million, 19% more. The company and its subsidiaries had approximately 34,000 employees at the end of 2025.

Mobility

Rides, in a range of forms: ridesharing, carsharing, micromobility, rentals, public transit, taxis and more. The company's argument for its own position is data: the volume of marketplace data that comes with scale, used to run demand prediction, matching and dispatching and pricing. The segment also carries the financial partnerships products and advertising.

Delivery

Consumers search local commerce, restaurants, grocery, alcohol, convenience and other retailers, and either collect the order or have it delivered; the grocery, alcohol, convenience and retail categories are grouped as Grocery and Retail. Uber Eats launched over ten years ago. The filing's case for it is that it raises engagement with the whole platform, which widens a merchant's reach without the merchant spending more, and that it broadens the earner base by raising utilisation across the network and by attracting people who do not have a vehicle that qualifies for Mobility. Uber Direct is the white-label delivery-as-a-service offering sold to retailers and restaurants, and the segment also carries advertising.

Freight

A managed transportation and logistics network connecting shippers and carriers in a digital marketplace. Carriers get upfront, transparent pricing and can book a shipment in one action. Shippers, ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to global enterprises, can create and tender shipments, secure capacity on demand at real-time prices, and track a shipment from pickup to delivery. Freight operations are principally in North America and Europe.

What holds the three together

The filing gives figures for what it calls platform synergies. For the three months to 31 December 2025, approximately 58% of first-time Delivery consumers were new to the platform altogether, and consumers who used both Mobility and Delivery generated over three times the gross bookings of consumers who used only one offering in countries where both were available. Approximately one in five eligible consumers is currently active monthly across both businesses. Uber One is the single cross-platform membership, giving discounts, cash back, special pricing, priority service and other perks across rides, delivery and grocery and retail; it is available in over 30 countries and reached 46 million members at the end of 2025. Advertising is the third thread: the division launched in October 2022 with Uber Journey Ads, which place a brand in front of a consumer through the ride, and brands can also advertise across the Uber and Uber Eats apps with reporting and analysis attached.

Who it competes with

The filing puts personal vehicle ownership and usage first, which it notes accounts for the majority of passenger miles in the markets Uber serves, followed by taxicab companies, taxi-hailing services and livery and car services. The filing also states that public transportation can be a superior substitute to its Mobility offering, offering a faster and lower-cost travel option in many cities. Among ridesharing companies it names Bolt, Didi, Lyft and Ola, and it expects new entrants given what it calls the low barriers to entry in these industries.
