According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Vending Machine Market," The vending machine market was valued at $18.3 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $37.2 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2023 to 2032.
Increase in demand for food vending machines in offices/institutions, rise in consumption of convenience food items, and the adoption of smart customer service technologies in several food categories are the driving factors for the growth of the market. The demand for machines has increased during the past few years and with the introduction of cashless payment systems, smart technology solutions are gaining momentum on a large scale across the globe. Moreover, increasing urbanization and rising disposable income have fuelled the growth of the vending machine market. Governments of various regions restricted the use of food & beverages vending machines in many places, such as schools and colleges, thereby limiting the demand for these machines.
Vending machines are portable and deliver goods quickly; hence, they are considered an extremely convenient option for consumers to purchase on-the-go food & beverages products. The demand for quick availability of food has risen in the recent past due to consumer's busy lifestyle, increase in urbanization, and similar other consumer behavior.
Attributed to this fact, the demand for vending machines, especially in offices, commercial spaces, and public areas has gained high momentum. Vending machines are also useful for non-food items such as toiletries, stamps, newspapers, tickets, and other small articles. Furthermore, as vending machines offer more digital payment/cashless options as compared to the traditional cash payments, the demand has gained further traction.
Manufacturers are developing and launching Internet of things (IoT)-based vending machines. This has enabled real-time data collection and an end-to-end IoT service to better monitor the machines. As a result, it has become more convenient to gather consumer experience & expectations and provide an enhanced consumer shopping experience. Constant innovation and technological developments have led the industry to offer more modern, on-the-go solutions that are parallel with shifts in consumer behavior. Furthermore, innovations, such as voice recognition, interactive display system, and big data integration, have made it more convenient and user-friendly for consumers, which created a positive impact on the demand for vending machines.
The sale of tobacco products via vending machine is prohibited in various countries such as India, Thailand, and others. Strict regulations regarding the sales of unhealthy, junk food and tobacco products in public places, institutions, and the majority of commercial spaces are expected to restrain the growth of the vending machine market. Smoking is completely banned in many public places and workplaces, such as educational, healthcare, and government facilities, and on public transport in various countries.
However, the law permits the establishment of smoking areas or spaces in airports, hotels having 30 or more rooms, and restaurants having seating capacity for 30 or more. It is smoke free in outdoor places such as stadiums, railway stations, open auditoriums, and bus stops/stands. Such factors hinder the market growth.
Modern consumers expect a convenient and personalized shopping experience; hence, it has become necessary for retailers to provide more innovative solutions that take shopping beyond the traditional retail location. Wireless solutions make it easy for retailers to conduct business anywhere. Therefore, they are motivated to opt for Internet of Things (IoT) to help them improve customer satisfaction while increasing revenues and reducing overall costs. IoT is helping vending machine operators more effectively to respond to consumer demand and boost operational efficiency. It has also enabled to make vending machine management simple and effective.
For instance, IoT-based vending machines use real-time data to respond to customer demand and adjust pricing for maximum profitability, improve security of machines to reduce tampering and product loss, and also track temperatures & monitor other conditions to ensure that perishable food items are safe to consume. These functional benefits offered by vending machines enable to create growth opportunities in the retail industry.
