This article examines the issues of improving antitrust control in the service sector of the Republic of Uzbekistan
under the conditions of digital transformation. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the growing
share of digital platforms and online services on market concentration processes, the formation of dominant positions,
and the development of the competitive environment. Taking into account the institutional and sectoral specificities of
the service industry, a conceptual approach to antitrust regulation adapted to the conditions of Uzbekistan has been
developed. The research is based on empirical and econometric methods, which enabled a systematic assessment of
the influence of digital transformation on competition dynamics. The findings serve as a basis for formulating practical
recommendations aimed at ensuring fair competition in the digital services market and enhancing mechanisms for
mitigating monopoly risks
