What is the development status and prospect of vending machines in China?

Although vending machines have a long history, in today's society, their development has not reached the extreme. Although it has been widely used in Japan, vending machines are still a new industry in China, and there are not many competitors involved, so the market space is very large. The goods it sells are daily consumer goods, which are frequently purchased and easy to move, bringing undoubted convenience to consumers. Therefore, it is believed that vending machines will quickly become the main force of people's shopping with their convenient, fast and flexible purchase methods, thus breaking the traditional habit of people shopping in supermarkets and shopping malls.

In 1980s, with the deepening of reform and opening-up, China's national economy developed rapidly and people's living standards improved greatly. Vending machines played an increasingly important role in the whole retail industry in China. As a special way of purchasing, vending machines are more and more accepted and recognized by many consumers. The R&D and production technology of vending machine manufacturers are becoming more and more mature, and the after-sales service is becoming more and more perfect. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the market scale and development trend of vending machines are very considerable, especially in schools.

Nowadays, besides schools, it is not difficult to find vending machines in airports, subways, shopping malls, parks and other places with large passenger flow. As an avant-garde retail way, vending machines are welcomed by young people who like to chase fashion. According to vending machines, China has a vast market, a large population and a huge demand for retail food and beverages, so the agency and sales market of unmanned vending machines will develop rapidly with the financial crisis.

At present, many large and medium-sized cities in China have become emerging markets for vending machines, and their future potential and development direction will be paid more and more attention by relevant manufacturers. Although the introduction of this format has not achieved the expected results in recent years, it has played a very important role in the cultivation of the market. At present, it should be the best time to enter the vending machine industry in China, whether from people's ideas, acceptance or market experience. To this end, a brand-new vending machine operation and service model has arrived. By building an intelligent vending platform, traditional vending machines can now support a variety of transaction payment modes, such as cash, bank cards, stored value cards, gold gift cards and so on. , and can realize large payment and transaction settlement, making the consumption process safer and more convenient.

The number of vending machines in the domestic market is not only small, but also very single, mainly bottled and canned beverage vending machines, which have high production and operation costs and low income. The main reason for this situation is that domestic vending machine enterprises have failed to effectively solve many problems such as cost, quality and operation. However, with the rapid economic development and great social progress in China, the actual demand for vending machines has been considerable. By then, home vending machines will develop into a huge industry.
