In 2023, Italy's import of automatic goods-vending machines, non-food, stood at approximately 6,000 units (in thousands). The forecast shows a declining trend: 5.83 (2024), 4.92 (2025), 4.03 (2026), 3.16 (2027), and 2.3 (2028). This indicates a clear year-on-year decrease, with a notable drop of around 20.8% by 2028 from the previous average annual decreases. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is negative, reflecting a shrinking market.
Future trends to watch for include technological innovations in vending machines and shifts in consumer behavior towards digital purchasing options. Market players may need to adapt to new demand patterns and potentially explore alternative markets to balance the declining trend.
