These machines keep records of inventory usage by tracing time and identify the user’s details. Hence, industrial vending machines help to improve the productivity and efficiency of the companies by minimizing the walk-around time of employees. These machines also help to reduce the usage of material, thereby, reduces the expenses of companies.

Industrial vending machines optimize according to the company’s production to make sure the availability of better tools as well as spare parts. Moreover, the rising adoption of these machines by medium and small manufacturing units is projected to surge the market growth during the forecast period. On the other hand, the high cost of these machines may become a challenge for small companies. Thus, high costs may hamper the market growth to some extent by rental vending machines.

Type Insights

On the basis of product, the market is segmented into coil vending machines, carousel vending machines, and others. The coil vending machine is projected to emerge as the fastest-growing product segment from 2020 to 2027. These machines have several benefits such as energy-efficient, easy maintenance, and have more capacity to hold inventory than other types. Thus, the segment is expected to dominate the global market throughout the projected period.

Carousel vending machine is widely used for products like small testing equipment, cutters, and tools. This machine occupies less space, thereby, widely installed by SMEs. In addition, due to the low cost of this equipment, small-scale companies are adopting it rapidly. Other type includes lockers and cabinet which are offered with customizing the design as per end-user demand. These lockers and cabinets are majorly used for MRO and are stocked in high volume across various industries.

Product Insights

In the industrial vending machines market, the product segment is fragmented into maintenance, repair & operations (MRO), personal protective equipment (PPE), and others.  The PPE segment is anticipated to have substantial growth from 2020 to 2027. Increasing awareness about employee safety in a hazardous work environment is expected to boost the demand for PPE. Market players are providing industrial vending machines along with PPE, thereby, expected to drive the PPE segment growth.

MRO offers spare parts, tool kits, testing equipment, sealant, and coatings which are majorly required during downtime. Hence, MROs equipment is present in large stock across several industries where downtime cost is high. In addition, MRO supply is the most integral part of floor inventory management, and tracing them is very important for industries like aviation, manufacturing, and oil & gas.  In this scenario, industrial vending machines help to track as well as maintain MRO supplies very efficiently, thereby, projected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

End-use Insights

Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into oil & gas, manufacturing, and others. In 2019, the manufacturing industry held the largest market share in terms of revenue. This is due to the high cost incurred in operational downtime. These machines help to keep track of supply usage and increase operational efficiency. North America is expected to have significant market growth due to the presence of various manufacturing SMEs.

The oil & gas end-use industry is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the projected period. This growth is attributed to the growing cost of PPE equipment and drilling tools. Further, in this industry, employee safety becomes a major concern owing to the hazardous situation in the working environment, thereby, expected to surge the market growth in the oil and gas industry.

Regional Insights

North American industrial vending machines market held the largest market share of more than 40.0%in 2019. This higher revenue market share is attributed to the presence of various OEMs &distributors in this region. The companies operating in the manufacturing sector are pioneers in adopting new technologies, thereby, expected to drive the regional market growth over the forecast period. Further, increasing awareness regarding hazardous work environments and worker safety will boost the product demand in North America.

The Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as the highest growing region during the forecast period due to an increasing number of small and medium businesses. In this region, developing countries like South Korea, India, and China are widely shifting towards the automation process, which is expected to propel the demand for these machines in the next few years.

Impact of COVID-19

Due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, industries such as manufacturing, aviation, and oil & gas have been disrupted in terms of social, financial, and operational consequences.
