This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the connected Vending Machines market. This segment comprises two segments: Goods Vending Machines (including hot drinks, food, and sundry items) and Transport Vending Machines (dispensing transport tickets).
The connected vending machines market is a mature market which is expected to witness a slow growth due to use of contactless payments and the business efficiencies achieved via remotely maintaining unattended machines. Companies are looking to attract customers to use vending machines in order to take advantage of the low maintenance and operational cost in comparison to operating shops. Vending machines are connected mostly via cellular networks for fast and remote data processing.
