Demand for vending machines will surge in 2026.

The unmanned retail boom is expected in 2026, leading to a surge in demand for vending machines and potentially driving up prices.

The unmanned retail industry experienced explosive growth at the start of 2026. According to market reports, the global smart vending machine market reached approximately $1.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $4.7 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%; some sub-sectors, such as smart vending machines, even achieved a CAGR of 30.7%. In China and the Asia-Pacific region, the automated retail market is expanding rapidly, benefiting from urbanization, the demand for convenient consumption, and technological upgrades. Demand for smart vending machines in office buildings, schools, shopping malls, and communities has surged by over 20%. The transformation of traditional retail towards unmanned operations is accelerating, with touchscreen, contactless payment, and healthy snack vending machines becoming mainstream.

Factors affecting the price and supply of vending machines in 2026

The main factors influencing this wave of unmanned retail boom include: surging demand (e-commerce penetration and convenient lifestyles driving a 15-25% increase in orders), technology upgrade costs (integration of cutting-edge functions such as AI recognition, 5G IoT, and touchscreen interaction), chip and raw material shortages, and increased supply chain pressure. Industry experts predict that in the first half of 2026, the procurement price of smart vending machines may increase by 10-20%, with tight supply of popular models, especially high-end healthy snack/beverage machines. If you are planning to deploy vending machines or are concerned about further price fluctuations, now is the best time to lock in costs—Luoyang Minno smart vending machines offer high cost-effectiveness and stable supply, making them the first choice for many companies.
