The vending machine industry is getting a technological revamp! Years after basic vending machine services and food kiosks, it appears technology is about to change the industry and could bring along a new wave of growth. According to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. in December 2015, the self-serve technology market is forecast to hit $39.07 billion by 2022. Driving this expected growth are advanced vending machines and kiosks, which will feature more user-friendly automation technology. Other advancements in the new self-serve technology market include NFC-enabled payment option, cashless transactions, remote monitoring capabilities, and other safety features.
One company that stands to benefit from this new age of self-service kiosks and vending machines is One Step Vending Corp (OTC Pink: KOSK).
