Why Southeast Asia

The Fast-Growing Market  

The vending machine market in Southeast Asia is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to rapid urbanization in the region and the development of retail channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping malls, and convenience stores. The Change of consumers’ lifestyle and the growing working population have led to the growth of ready-to-eat food and beverages in Southeast Asia.

According to the analysis of local industry associations, as of the end of 2023, Vietnam has 10000 vending machines, Indonesia has 30000, and Malaysia has 50000 vending machines

Broad Space for Market Development

 In Asia, what is driving the use of smart vending machines is the high penetration of mobile payments. Data from US financial services giant Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) shows that 44% of payments in the stores in the Asia-Pacific region are mobile payments!

      The rapid economic development, coupled with the growth of retail and tourism in major countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore, will also stimulate the demand for the vending machines in Southeast Asia in the next few years.

Why Southeast Asia

According to the latest data released by the World Bank, the total GDP of the 10 ASEAN countries in Southeast Asia reached 3.4 trillion US dollars in 2021, and the total population of those countries in 2021 was about 657 million, with a huge number of users.

Malaysia: As Southeast Asia's third-largest economy, it has a young population and is keen on  shopping online through major social media. According to Bain analysis data, the Malaysian market size reached US$14 billion in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 68%. 

Thailand: Thailand has the highest Internet penetration rate in Southeast Asia other than Singapore, and it is developing rapidly. According to Bain analysis data, the market size of Thailand reached US$21 billion in 2021, a year-on-year increase of over 68%.

Vietnam: Although the local GDP per capita in Vietnam is low, consumers have a strong preference for electronic products in China. In 2021, the sales of local 3C home appliances grew rapidly, and the mobile e-commerce foundation was good. With a year-on-year increase of 53% in 2021, 3C home appliances have greater room for development.

Indonesia: Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, with about 100 million people using the Internet, accounting for 38% of the total population, and 60% of these people live in large cities such as Jakarta and Bandung; 

Indonesia's economic growth is also very optimistic, and the income group of Indonesia's middle class is

expanding, which is expected to exceed 45 million people.

About the vending machine industry in Indonesia

Currently, there are approximately 30,000 vending machines in Indonesia, including traditional and intelligent vending machines. Among them, there are about 4,000 to 5,000 smart vending machines, which mainly sell snacks and drinks. A single vending machine can accommodate about 25 to 30 SKUs, and the number is between 100-200. The mainly-used payment method is e-wallet.

 Opportunities for vending machine in Indonesia

In the future, there will be huge opportunities to use vending machines in Indonesia. With the growth and rapid development of the economy, the number of vending machines has been increasing and these machines can be easily found in various strategic locations like office centers, factories, railway stations, airports, campuses and other public areas.

The adoption of these vending machines is supported by a growing middle class, changing lifestyles, and the need for speed of transactions. In addition, given the development of digital payment technology, vending machines can become an effective means to meet the needs of modern consumers.      Facing the future, enterprises including small and medium-sized enterprises, need to constantly use technology to innovate. Vending machines are one example of how enterprises adapt to their everchanging consumers and technology trends.

As the role of technology in changing the way enterprises operate is recognized,  companies can make use of these trends to formulate more effective marketing strategies, improve product distribution and support overall economic growth.
