The self-service channels help to provide remote monitoring and proactive maintenance services to users to track functioning, identify problems, and schedule maintenance of interactive kiosks.

COVID-19 Pandemic: Major Disruption in Supply Chain to Hinder Growth Prospects

The unexpected lockdown declared across the globe due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruptions in several kiosks suppliers and manufacturers’ operational activities. The prominent suppliers in the market acknowledged the decreasing revenue generation and the on-hold demands for kiosks is affecting their business. Also, product delivery is a challenging factor for vendors due to the disturbances in the operations & supply chain, the shutdown of warehouses, manufacturing facilities, etc.

However, the pandemic situation created lucrative business opportunities for vendors to expand their horizons, mainly focusing on reducing the need to interact with the customers and still cater to their requirements and enhance serviceability.

The key interactive kiosk suppliers observed easing lockdown measures in May, with the restarting of shipping, delivery, training, fulfilling the first quarter orders, and acquiring new orders across different demographics. Self-service kiosks provide self-assistance to people without the need for interaction with coordinators or salespeople. Hence, they aid in reducing the dependence on service providers and ensure social distancing.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Adoption of Cloud Computing & Mobility to Augment Market Growth

One of the key trends emerging in the global interactive kiosk market is the fast adoption of cloud computing services in contactless payments solutions and Near Field Communication (NFC) devices. Kiosks are based on a single-modal usability approach and robotics analytics capabilities that require a core structure to store a large amount of data. This data requirement can be easily fulfilled by cloud technology in a secure and reliable environment at a low cost.

Key players such as Samsung Electronics, XIPHIAS Software Technologies, and others focus on integrating cloud computing with kiosks. These cloud computing services are enabled with Analytics as a Service (AaaS) offerings allowing users to quickly program the kiosks without any need for external storage devices.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Demand for Self-Service Kiosks Across Retail, Entertainment, and BFSI Industry to Fuel Market Growth

The rising demand for managed self-service kiosks from industries such as the retail sector, entertainment, BFSI, and others is a crucial factor driving the interactive kiosk market growth. Major players such as Samsung Electronics, Nexcom International Co. Ltd., NCR Corporation, and others are investing by entering into strategic partnerships and collaborating with others to develop advanced kiosks based on the AI platform.

For instance, in January 2018, Comhear, Inc., entered into a strategic partnership with ViaTouch Media to develop Vicki (ViaTouch Intellishelf Cognitive Kinetic Interactions), an automated vending kiosk, enabled with artificial intelligence and robotics analytics capabilities. In October 2018, Diebold Nixdorf, an American financial and retail technology company collaborated with Mastercard Inc.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Maintenance & Installation Cost Associated with Kiosks to Restrain Market Growth

Designing, manufacturing, and installing the interactive self-service kiosk is a complex process due to the involvement of several functional modules. Also, depending on the customization level, the overall installation and programming procedure is often a challenge for the manufacturers. Usually, interactive kiosks have a high initial price in terms of time, installation, and setup. This would be one of the key factors resulting in the slow adoption of kiosks.

One of the key challenges the owner or user of kiosks face is finding authorized technology partners for installations and maintenance services. For installation, many companies have to pay neutral third outsourced party assistance to create and program the interface for self-order kiosks and plan out the cost related to logistics, and floor/counter space. This extends the procedure of installation and increases the hidden expenses for self-order kiosks. Therefore, this is likely to lead to market restraint in the forthcoming years.
