Key Vending Machine Market Driver
The growing demand for cashless vending machines is the key factor driving the global vending machine market growth.

Cashless payments are expected to go mainstream in the near future as more customers are switching to cashless transactions. Such factors will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Vending Machine Market Trend

Intelligent vending machines also help in tracking real-time operational data like daily sales, footfalls, and inventory levels. The increase in real-time data collection through intelligent vending machines is trending in the global vending machine market. Thus, during the forecast period, the incorporation of advanced features, such as real-time data collection, is projected to raise the value and volume sales of these machines.
Key Vending Machine Market Challenge
The high initial investments and maintenance costs for vending machines are a major challenge to the global vending machine market growth. End-users require to make huge capital investments in procuring the software and hardware for intelligent vending machines. Although they can customize the hardware and software according to their needs, such customization can also be outsourced to third-party suppliers, which leads to considerable additional costs. To withstand the competition in the market, vendors need to launch innovative products, which require heavy investments in R&D. However, while the cost of manufacturing vending machines is very high, the cost of renting them is also increasing every year.
Additionally, with the evolution of new technology and changing preferences, owners of intelligent vending machines need to continuously upgrade their software and other related services, which again incur high costs for them. Sometimes upgrading and troubleshooting can take days to resolve, thereby resulting in a loss of revenue. Hence, vendors are coming up with various strategies to reduce such losses. These include absorbing extra costs, rearranging routes, reducing product variety, eliminating unprofitable accounts, raising product prices, and lowering commissions. Thus, the high maintenance costs incurred by intelligent vending machines will prove to be a price challenge for the market during the forecast period.

The market share growth by the low-end vending machines segment will be significant during the forecast period. Low-end vending machines are traditional/conventional vending machines mostly used for dispensing consumer products. In recent years, the number of retail outlets has increased at an exponential rate globally, especially in developing countries, amid rapid urbanization, the substantial growth of the organized retailing sector, the rise in overall household disposable incomes, and a noteworthy shift in consumer buying behaviour. The strong increase in the number of retail outlets is contributing to the growth of the low-end vending machines segment of the market in focus. Unlike major retail establishments that can afford to purchase intelligent vending machines, most small and medium-scale retailers use low-end vending machines. These retailers are increasingly adopting such vending machines to minimize the recurring costs associated with hiring and retaining labour/manpower to enhance productivity and promote cashless and quick shopping practices.

This report forecasts the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the market. In addition, we have included the COVID-19 impact and the recovery strategies for each segment. The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a decline in demand for vending machines in North America. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the travel and food and beverages industries and many more non-essential businesses in the region. The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases compelled governments of various countries in the region to impose lockdowns and stay-at-home policies, which led to the closure of many shopping outlets, cafeterias, airports, and other places that use vending machines. This significantly affected the demand for vending machines in the region. However, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives led to the lifting of lockdown restrictions and the resumption of travelling operations in the last quarter of 2020. Moreover, the rising demand for intelligent vending machines and the growing demand for vending machines in the food and beverage industry will drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
