The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the continued trend towards retail automation and efficiency, consumer preferences for convenience, the impact of urbanization and high-traffic areas, the rise of on-demand retail, and an increased focus on health and hygiene considerations.

The retail vending machine market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing demand for ready-to-eat and convenience foods. Ready-to-eat foods, characterized by their pre-cooked and packaged nature, cater to the on-the-go needs of urban consumers such as students, commuters, professionals, and tourists. Vending machines strategically placed in convenient locations offer round-the-clock access to these ready-to-eat meals. A report from March 2022 by the Government of Canada on packaged food trends in China highlighted the growth in retail sales of packaged food products, rising from 283,984.8 (US$ million) in 2020 to 298,005.3 (US$ million) in 2021, underscoring the surge in demand for ready-to-eat foods that propels the retail vending machine market.

The retail vending machine market is further propelled by the growing demand for contactless payments. Contactless payment methods, utilizing technologies such as near-field communication (NFC) and radio frequency identification (RFID), provide a secure and efficient way for customers to make purchases with debit cards, credit cards, smart cards, or other payment devices. The use of mobile wallets and NFC technologies facilitates quick and easy transactions, reducing the time customers spend at vending machines. A forecast by Juniper Research Limited in May 2023 predicts that contactless payment transactions will surpass $10 trillion by 2027, reflecting a substantial 221% increase between 2022 and 2026. This escalating demand for contactless payments is a significant driving force behind the retail vending machine market.

Innovation emerges as a key trend in the retail vending machine market, with major companies focusing on developing inventive products. For instance, Cherise India Private Limited, based in India, introduced an IoT and Android-based tea vending kiosk in July 2021.

The IoT vending platform offers real-time data on consumer trends, inventory status, and payments, providing customers with valuable insights at their fingertips.
