It first emerged in Japan, and rising rents and labor contributed to the rapid development of the industry. Currently, there are as many as 5 million vending machines in Japan, one for every 24 people.　　 At present, the country is at a stage similar to that of Japan, but China, with a population of 1.4 billion, had only about 200,000 vending machines in operation by the end of 2016. Compared with developed countries, the market space is very huge.　　 may be in response to the call of'new retail', the shops have been particularly aggressive in the past two years, because the data in 2014 was less than 100,000 units nationwide.　　 The vending machine industry chain involves a wide range of areas, including: sheet metal, accessory manufacturers, manufacturers, operators, electronic payments, beverage manufacturers, software development, etc. The key link is the manufacturer and the operator.

Operating costs mainly include commodity procurement and distribution, point rent, machine depreciation, labor costs, etc.　　Retail revenue is easy to understand, that is, to earn the difference in product gross profit. The display fee is the practice of traditional supermarkets, because vending machine space is limited, and the products of the supplier on the shelf have to charge an entry fee (change one if you don't give it, mainly for weak suppliers). Advertising revenue comes from the body and APP, which is easy to understand, but there are also doorways.　　3.
