Creative Utilization of Kiosks amid COVID-19 Pandemic to Boost the Market

While the coronavirus pandemic is sending multiple shockwaves across the retail and tourism industries, certain entities are creatively leveraging the benefits offered by these informative booths. For example, Arvi, a healthcare technology start-up founded by a team of engineers from IIT Bombay, introduced contactless thermal scanning kiosks to support the fight against COVID-19. These are embedded with artificial intelligence (AI) tools along with deep learning capabilities, bringing together thermal screening and facial recognition to identify persons having elevated temperatures. Another example comes from the US, where Minnesota-based AB Kiosk launched the stand-alone booth across five counties in the US. These information systems have been designed to notify clients to get tested for COVID-19 and, using a breathalyzer test, detect the infection. Such resourceful utilization of kiosks will encourage innovation among market players.

Increasing Focus on Financial Services Industry by Key Players to Intensify Competition

The scope for self-service terminals is widening rapidly, particularly in the banking and financial services industry as consumers are increasingly demanding efficient delivery of financial services.

Furthermore, the demand for such conveniences is also substantially high in well-developed and well-connected regions in developed nations. As a result, companies are strategically establishing their presence in different regions through collaborations and product launches.
