Micro Market Growth Is Explosive
A micro market is an unattended retail establishment and the potential is vast. It’s not simply the next generation of vending. According to a study conducted by Bachtell and Associates1, micro market sales can be double or even triple that of vending machines, and the average micro market generates $50,000 in revenue annually. Micro markets are expected to generate $1.6 billion over the next 10 years, and 35,000 locations are predicted to pop up by 2022.
Consumers are choosing micro markets for their snack products, foods, and beverages because they can be a “contactless” vending location that doesn’t require the consumer to physically interact with store employees, other shoppers, or exchange paper currency, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Heron is a versatile, high-capacity micro market vending machine with more product capacity.
