One of the key factors driving growth in the self-service kiosk market is the increasing adoption of contactless payment. Contactless payment is a payment method through which customers can purchase products via credit cards, debit cards, or NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones and smartwatches. Contactless payment provides customers with a fast, convenient, and secure way to complete transactions. It also helps merchants improve the in-store payment experience by reducing the time taken to make payments and, eventually, the waiting time. The rise in the use of contactless payments, contactless cards, and mobile payments is expected to drive the demand for self-service kiosks.
The growing focus on smart retail stores is another major factor supporting the self-service kiosk market share growth. A smart store is a type of brick-and-mortar retail establishment that uses smart technologies such as smart carts, smart mirrors, and others. Self-service kiosks are deployed in smart stores for self-checkout services without any human interaction. The emergence of smart stores will increase the need for self-checkout services. Such services enable customers to skip long queues as the entire transaction can be completed with the help of a card payment module integrated into self-service kiosks. Thus, the emergence of smart stores will increase the adoption of self-service kiosks during the forecast period.
