PROSPECTS

Technological developments provide opportunities for expanded functionality

Vending machines have a wide-ranging presence in Japan, covering shopping centres, train stations, town centres, public parking lots and a variety of other locations. However, the number of vending machines is declining as a result of pricing competition from retailers such as supermarkets and drugstores, and the increasing number of convenience stores and cafés.

Responding to the healthy living trend

A growing number of vending machines are targeting the healthy living trend. In 2019, Kirin Beverage introduced “locabo” (low carbonate) vending machines, particularly targeting busy business professionals and health-conscious consumers.

Alternative to unmanned stores in response to the labour shortage

In response to Japan’s severe labour shortage, store-based retailers, led by convenience stores, have begun experimenting with unmanned stores. Vending machines can be seen as an alternative option to unmanned stores, particularly for smaller commercial areas that cannot support larger stores or product ranges.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

First vending subscription service

October 2019 saw the introduction of the first subscription service employing vending. The new service, “every pass”, was launched by JR East and enables users to get a drink a day from a vending machine for a monthly subscription.

Beef bowl restaurant introduces vending machine

Chained beef bowl fast food player, Matsuya, started offering a vending service to offices in November 2019. The company’s first vending machine was located in the staff cafeteria of Gree, a mobile gaming company based in Tokyo.

Bandai Co introduces vending machine that accepts e-payment

Another notable development in vending in 2019 was toy manufacturer, Bandai Co’s introduction of a toy capsule vending machine that accepts e-payment. The Smart Gashapon machines accept payments via transport-linked e-money cards, such as transportation card, Suica.
