The intelligent vending machine market has been expanding rapidly in recent times as technology continues to transform the world and disruptive technology is becomes the order of the day.

At present vending machines are designed to not only provide items requested but provide nutritional or other information about the items, interact with the customer to make suggestions about the purchase and even prepare fresh food. For example, in Italy a pizza vending machine called Let’s Pizza has been developed that prepares customized pizzas in less than 3 minutes. A window in the front allows customers to watch the flour being kneaded, the rolling of the pizza disc, spreading of the tomato paste and other ingredients and the finished creation baked in infra-red rays.

Though U.S. has the most vending machines in the world, Japan has the highest density of vending machines with 5.5 million machines in 2016 that put one machine for every 50 people and is known for carrying more range of products that available anywhere else in the world.

For instance, face-scanning machines dispensing beverages use big data analytics and machine-learning and make a choice based on the age of the customer. If above 30 years old, it offers hot milk tea, green tea or orange juice while for younger customers it offers soft drinks as such preferences have been depicted by people of respective age groups.
