While some brands and manufacturers actively set up vending machine machines, the types of goods sold by vending machine machines are also constantly enriched. Vending machine machines not only sell ice cream and freshly squeezed orange juice, but also fast food and cooked food. 
Industry insiders said that in recent years, the number of vending machine machines in public places, including hospitals, airports, residential communities, office buildings, offices and so on, has been increasing. Essentially, this is a monetization of traffic. The improvement of labor cost and payment convenience will further increase the number of vending machine machines.
For consumers, the diversified and convenient purchase scenarios of vending machine machines are an important reason to attract consumers. For enterprises, vending machine machines are convenient and low cost. Although there is currently no price advantage, as long as it is properly placed and selected, it can still attract consumers to purchase.
