Top Industry Trends at China VMF 2020
- Pandemic-Related Vending Solutions
Impacted by the pandemic, products like Contact-Less Payment Systems, Vending Machines for PPE and Drugs, and etc., were undoubtedly some of the most sought-after solutions on site.
“During the lockdown, some of our products have in fact seen explosive sales growth, especially our Smart Takeout and Parcel Pick-Up Lockers,” said Yunyin Technology. “To some extent, the pandemic has actually widened the use of self-service kiosks and vending machines in China,” they added.
- Mini Hotel Room Vending Machines
People’s increased privacy awareness has given rise to the new trend of Mini Hotel Room Vending Machines, and exhibitors like Kaisijin, Pinshen, Guanyao, Dimeiwang, Ruking, J·Choice, Jiuxu, Bannuo, and etc. have all brought their own unique solutions.
“Our hotel room vending machines were so popular that one time we received an order of as many as 150,000 units,” Kuzhuo, a third-time exhibitor, told the Organizer, “To satisfy these mounting demands, we are going to expand our production capacity in the second half of 2020.”
