Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global connected vending machine market will grow at a rapid CAGR of just over 23% during the forecast period. The rising adoption of connected vending machines in the retail sector is a noteworthy factor promoting market growth during the predicted period. In the retail sector, connected vending machines are extensively used as they are better at interacting with customers at retail outlets. Since these machines are useful for collecting customer data, they allow retailers to customize their service and product offerings as per the needs of customers. The ability of these machines to help operators captivate the audience, attain higher sales, and increase brand visibility will lead to its increased adoption over the next few years.
An important trend influencing the prospects for growth in this market is the retrofitting of existing vending machines. Due to increasing market competition, vendors are bringing in new technologies to the market, but the cost of employing such technologies and installing new vending machines will be very high. Consequently, the need for retrofitting will increase as it will help retailers to avoid the cost of installing a new vending machine amid fluctuating economic conditions.
During 2015, the offices segment dominated this market and accounted for a market share of almost 22%. In offices, connected vending machines are used to serve a variety of beverages like coffee, tea, hot milk, and cold drinks. Since offices are generally crowded areas, they are the most favorable location for installing connected vending machines.
Currently, the Americas is the largest market for connected vending machines globally and will retain its market position until 2020 owing to the increasing popularity and awareness of connected vending machines in the region. Factors like the high smartphone penetration and the presence of tech-savvy consumers in this region will lead to the growth of this market during the next four years.
The landscape for the global connected vending machines market is very competitive due to the presence of many local and multinational vendors. Since this market is fragmented, competition between providers is high, and is expected to remain so over the next few years. Low market penetration and rapid technological changes are other factors intensifying competition among suppliers.
