Key findings

Smartphone-first future creates new path to purchase

Smartphones become an integral part of the consumer purchase journey, as well as enable personalisation for tailored products and convenient services. A smartphone-first future will potentially provide more opportunities for omnichannel strategies whether it is ordering via delivery, drive-through, takeaway or eat-in.

Rising demand for personalised products and smart devices

The increasing desire among consumers for products and services that simplify daily lives, combined with the growing demand for personalisation based on individual preferences, is driving sales of connected coffee machines.

Increasing investments on advanced vending machines

Advanced vending machines with cutting-edge features are expanding worldwide, offering brands a path to rapid expansion, testing of new products, and a potential response to high labour costs. They also provide valuable insights into consumer purchases, popular products and locations that could lead to further valuable insights and uncover new growth opportunities.

New nodes in the delivery network and loyalty programmes

Attracting and retaining consumers by generating value-added experiences along the entire customer journey remains a key factor for growth opportunities. In recent times, the loyalty rewards app has been highlighted as an important and valuable tool to create seamless experiences and build strong brand ties.
