Trends in the vending machine industry:

What will be particularly hot in the world of vending machines in 2024?

Digital payment options

Apple Pay, Google Pay and co. at vending machines

Cash is becoming less and less important in our society. It is therefore no wonder that payment services such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, which enable payment via smartphone, are becoming increasingly popular. For this reason, our vending machines (except slot machines) are always supplied with a Nayax module. The Nayax module allows payment by debit or credit card and, of course, with services such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Trendy snacks

Use the Takis hype for yourself

Every year, there are snacks that are on trend and attract a large number of buyers. In 2024, for example, these include Taki's potato chips. By closely monitoring the snack market and keeping an eye out for trends and then reacting quickly by adapting your range, you can make the most of such trends.

Pizza vending machines

Delicious pizza from the vending machine

Pizza vending machines will be all the rage in 2024. They can be used to sell delicious pizzas around the clock, 7 days a week. Depending on the location and taste of the pizzas, extreme sales can be achieved. Ideal for restaurants that want to expand their business without having to open a new restaurant.

(We are planning to add a pizza vending machine to our range in the near future. We are just waiting for the okay from our supplier)

Supermarkets 2.0

The vending machine supermarkets

Vending supermarkets are currently experiencing a real boom, led by innovative technologies and the trend towards more convenient shopping. At the heart of this development are sophisticated vending machines that can offer a variety of products, from fresh fruit and vegetables to chilled food and non-food items.

These vending machines are popular not only for their efficiency and 24/7 availability, but also for their ability to personalize and speed up the shopping process.

Secret-Packs vending machines

Attractive not only for vending machine operators

315.000.000 ... is the estimated number of parcels returned in Germany in 2020. A truly extreme figure. However, returns are not only annoying for online store platforms, they are also extremely harmful to the environment. This is not only because the returns have to be transported all over Germany again, but much more because returns are often destroyed, resulting in enormous amounts of waste.

One solution to minimize the destruction of returns is to sell them. There are companies that have made it their business to buy up the returns from large online shopping platforms. Vending machine operators then buy the returns in order to fill their machines with them. The returns are sold unopened in shipping boxes, which makes the purchase very mysterious and exciting, as you never know what will be in the returned parcel.

In summary, it can be said that Secret-Packs vending machines are a win-win-win situation - the customer has the chance to buy great products at a bargain price, the operator can look forward to a huge rush and most importantly: the environment benefits.
