It is understood that Nongfu Spring has launched nearly 60000 intelligent terminal retail devices in more than 300 cities across the country; Yuan Qi's internal goal is to set up 100000 Vending Machine machines nationwide by the end of 2022, and now thousands of vending machine machines have been set up in more than a dozen cities nationwide; POP MART has also launched a large number of "robot stores" and "box picking machines" in major supermarkets in China, with nearly 2000 units currently available. While some brands and manufacturers actively set up vending machine machines, the types of goods sold by vending machine machines are also constantly enriched. Vending machine machines not only sell ice cream and freshly squeezed orange juice, but also fast food and cooked food. 
Industry insiders said that in recent years, the number of vending machine machines in public places, including hospitals, airports, residential communities, office buildings, offices and so on, has been increasing. Essentially, this is a monetization of traffic. The improvement of labor cost and payment convenience will further increase the number of vending machine machines.
For consumers, the diversified and convenient purchase scenarios of vending machine machines are an important reason to attract consumers. For enterprises, vending machine machines are convenient and low cost. Although there is currently no price advantage, as long as it is properly placed and selected, it can still attract consumers to purchase. The Analysis Report on China's Unmanned Retail Industry pointed out that, from the perspective of the pattern of the unmanned retail market, China's unmanned retail market is dominated by vending machine machines. In 2021, the retail market share of vending machine machines in China will be 95.9%, and that of other unmanned retailers will be 4.1%. In recent years, the retail sales of vending machine machines in China have shown a growing trend. In 2021, the retail sales of vending machine machines will reach 27.124 billion yuan, up 26.6% year on year.
