The Smart Vending Machine industry is undergoing a massive change by using smart system technologies to install touch screens and remote management software to go far beyond simple food and beverage dispensing. It's the one with an LCD screen for interaction and a large tabletop vending machine that has enough area to possibly support 6-14 inch LCD screens. The integration of features such as facial recognition and voice that enable communication between the vending machine and the consumer drives the industry's growth forecasts. These features add intelligence to systems by detecting and responding to users and provide a visual experience with interactive promotions. Intelligent distribution systems help to better understand consumer behaviour and preferences. Interactive LCDs allow vendors to generate more revenue by displaying advertisements and loyalty programs. Office sales systems must increase motivation by allowing employees to have a quick snack between breaks without having to.

The business sector uses advanced and innovative strategies to optimize the office environment for employees. More commonly known as Office Coffee Service (OCS), these machines are primarily preferred by businesses to provide fresh, healthy, and light snacks during office hours. Incorporating smart technology into these machines will help offices track individual orders and the employees who consume the products. Globally, growing business demand is driving the market for smart vending machines. Applications of smart vending machines have increased dramatically in recent years in commercial and public places. Airports, train stations, bus stations, shopping malls, hospitals, universities, and offices are the most common places where these smart vending machines can be found. The increasing adoption of automated systems is acting as a propellant to the expansion of the global smart vending machine business. Manufacturers of smart vending machines are developing energy-efficient solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of these machines. Popular beverage brand Coca-Cola is developing smart, recycled and eco-friendly vending machines with sustainable technology that can balance environmental impact. Manufacturers are trying to incorporate a cashless payment solution into smart vending machines. They integrate connected solutions in vending machines to obtain transactional and consumer data in real-time. In anticipation of strong digitization, cashless payment technology in smart vending machines will undoubtedly increase revenue in the global smart vending machine market. However, regulations on the sale of junk food and tobacco products are holding back the growth of this market. This technology is implemented mainly in developed countries. The market for smart vending machines is currently in its early stages. However, technological advances and changes in consumer buying habits are supposed to usher in rapid growth in the future.
