PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Vending expected to record healthy growth over forecast period
Vending is predicted to experience further expansion over the forecast period, driven by evolving consumer preferences, advancements in vending technology, and shifting macroeconomic conditions. The strongest growth within the channel is expected to come from soft drinks, hot drinks, and foods, as operators adapt to changing consumer demands and emerging trends in the local market.
Innovation and smart technology expected to fuel vending’s future growth
Another growth factor behind vending’s future performance is greater investment in AI-driven automation, utilising real-time data, and interactive technology. The increasing demand for convenience and constant access to popular products such as drinks and snacks in workplaces, transport hubs, and public spaces is expected to boost vending machine deployment.
Health-conscious consumers will continue to push vending beyond traditional offer
Vending in the UK is undergoing a transformation, shifting away from sugary drinks and high-calorie snacks towards healthier and more functional options. Growing demand for fresh food, low-sugar beverages, plant- based snacks, and protein-enriched products is reshaping vending’ product assortment.
