Technological Breakthroughs in Touchscreen Display to Bolster Growth of the Global Kiosk Market
The demand for kiosks is driven by various factors such as reduced investment costs than conventional channels, improved consumer shopping experiences, expanded uses other than traditional ones, and breakthroughs in touch screen display as well as glass technology. These factors are expected to bolster growth of the global kiosk market in the years to come.
The rise in vehicle manufacturing in developing markets, governments' increasing focus on imposing tight regulatory requirements on the automotive sector, and a growing preference for outsourcing TIC services to expand market share. In addition to growing customer knowledge about product quality and safety, rising use of automotive electronics to ensure passenger and vehicle safety is likely to drive demand in the global kiosk market.
Growing Popularity of Interactive Kiosks is Expected to Foster Growth of the Market
The COVID-19 epidemic is going to wreak havoc on the kiosk industry, as the crisis has wreaked havoc on the tourism as well as retail industries. As per the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), foreign tourist numbers decreased by 98% in May 2020, is likely to cost the global tourism industry an estimated US$ 320 Bn. Consumers are being forced to stay at home as a result of lockdowns and social distancing tactics, resulting in a significant drop in foot traffic at retail shops. The Trust for Retailers & Retail Associates of India (TRRAI), for example, predicts that the Indian retail sector is estimated to experience a 25-30% drop in activity. These technologies are widely used in the tourism industry to book tickets, cabs, fill out immigration paperwork, and obtain flight information, among other things. Kiosks are required in retail to make shopping easier for customers. Due to the contraction of both sectors' activity, demand for such devices will surely fall during the pandemic. Such multiple uses are expected to boost growth of the global kiosk market in the years to come.
Interactive kiosks provide consumers with a variety of useful services, including emergency warnings, advertising, live transit feeds, and free limitless Wi-Fi access, all of which help to improve urban life. Consumers benefit from the Internet of Things (IoT) and other intelligent linked gadgets.
