PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Increased tax on sugar and soft drinks will raise costs, impacting sales through vending
New legislative changes will present both challenges and opportunities for the vending industry in 2025. The VAT rate on food and drinks will decrease from 20% in 2024 to 19% in 2025.
Health issues linked to smokeless products will challenge sales through vending
The sale of smokeless products through vending machines is increasingly being scrutinised by local authorities due to health issues linked to their use. Products such as single-use electronic cigarettes, CBD vaping items, and nicotine pouches have seen considerable growth in availability via vending over the review period.
Semi-captive environments are set to install higher-end coffee machines, challenging vending
Premiumisation and sustainability will be challenges facing the vending industry in Slovakia, over the forecast period. As regional coffee roasters emerge and the coffee-drinking culture develops, vending operators must either enhance the quality of their coffee or adopt technological innovations to remain competitive.
