PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Vending will benefit from changes in how consumers shop
Vending is set to see stable, although slow current value growth over the forecast period in the US. Convenience will drive growth, enabled by contactless payment systems and IoT advances, which make it easier to manage inventory levels.
Ulta and SOS team up to dispense beauty products using smart technology
In early 2024, Ulta piloted a smart vending machine concept which allows its loyalty members to access free sample products once a week. The retailer partnered with vending machine innovator SOS, a female-founded company whose initial focus was placing vending machines in sports arenas, traditionally male-dominated spaces, to dispense product samples focused on health and wellness, and mostly targeted towards women.
Food offers growth opportunities in vending
Getting creative with food options in vending is a growth opportunity for the channel, if the consumer association of vending with choices lacking in flavour and/or nutritional value can be overcome. IoT developments already enable better inventory management and refrigeration oversight, which is especially critical for vending machine operators such as Farmers’ Fridge, which is focused on fresher food options.
