Automated Retail for Intelligent Vending

Vending technology is evolving quickly and new or retrofitted machines are engaging shoppers like never before with touch-screen controls, video, audio, scent, gesture-based interaction and cashless payment. Thanks to automated retail technology, intelligent vending machines provide businesses real-time insights into their customers’ purchasing patterns.

According to Persistence Market Research, the global intelligent vending machines market is expected to reach $15 billion by 2025, with a projected CAGR of more than 15 percent during the forecasted period. Despite the fast pace of anticipated growth, the industry is struggling to meet new market demands and consumer behavior.
