Concerns about sustainability are expected to only increase with key worries for consumers to focus on themes such as the use of plastic packaging, responsible sourcing and the environmental impact of production. Like countries across Europe, such as Germany, retailers are investing in reverse-vending machines that offer consumers money or vouchers in return for plastic bottles and cans.
Irish consumers are becoming increasingly aware of health and wellness trends and the benefits of healthy eating habits. Confectionery items that are perceived to be unhealthy are expected to be less popular than other food types over the forecast period, with vending machines containing a greater variety of foods, and healthier options are likely to gain consumers’ attention.
The use of technology will continue to develop within vending. Less use of cash will result in most vending machines becoming contactless and accepting card payments.
