Customers are looking for less face-to-face interaction and contact while making purchases during the pandemic, says Mr Pitsnu.
With the pandemic persisting, vending machines seem to be one of the few businesses flourishing as they offer a contactless distribution channel, providing safety for both sellers and buyers.
New vending machines are being introduced featuring food, instant noodles, fresh coffee, carbonated drinks and face masks.
Pitsnu Chokwatana, senior vice-president of vending machine distribution company Sun Vending Technology Plc, operator of the Sun 108 vending machine brand, sees continued development of the industry, with a wider range of consumer products in the pipeline.
Thailand’s vending machine sector is estimated to be worth 3 billion baht a year.
