After growing by double-digit figures at the beginning of review period, vending has to face up to changing consumption habits, with the general demand for a healthy or organic diet, whilst in the meantime snacking is becoming badly perceived and less popular. Vending became mature and has been stabilising for many years, despite a slightly positive rebound in 2017 linked to the favourable economic situation.
Competition from individual coffee machines known to make high-quality premium coffee such as Nespresso or Senseo machines has negatively impacted coffee sales in vending machines. Indeed, whilst coffee represents a non-negligible share of vending value sales, the coffee category has evolved towards premiumisation and individual pods, which has modified consumption habits and consumers’ requirements.
To face these general trends and new competition, vending has attempted to renew itself with product diversification and premiumisation. In order to fight against individual coffee machines on one hand and against specialist coffee shops on the other, vending operators have begun to enlarge their hot drinks offering, with tea in bags replacing powder or instant tea, for example.
The vending landscape in France is fragmented, mainly comprising small enterprises, but sales are concentrated around a few major operators that are supplying and maintaining machines. The leading player, Selecta France, has reinforced its position since acquiring Pelican Rouge, which will allow it to enjoy increased strength to innovate and rapidly deploy new technologies to fit with market requirements.
Whilst Coca-Cola Entreprises was still the outright leading player of soft drinks vending at the beginning of the review period and was one of the most active in “site hunting”, searching new locations for consumers, it suddenly discontinued the venture and handed the management of its 10,000 vending machines in France to Daltys in 2014. Daltys progressively became one of the most important players in drinks vending with a network of 60,000 machines and 15,000 clients in 2018.
The vending industry is forced to invest in renewing machines in order to improve technological performance. Consumers’ requirements in terms of means of payment are increasing, especially concerning contactless payments via debit/credit cards or via smartphones, thanks to NFC (near-field communication) technology.
