Vending machines are a way to solve the shortage of aging labor in the retail industry

Now my country’s development is about to face a very realistic problem that is that we are about to enter an aging society. In fact, this is not something to worry about. Nowadays, the rapid development of science and technology does not require labor in many places, such as the retail industry. You can use vending machines instead. We all know that in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the population was only about 500 million. It increased to about 700 million in 1964, to about 900 million in 1974, to 1.1 billion in 1990, and to 1.3 billion in 2005, and by 2017 At the end of the year, the total population of Mainland China: 1.390.08 million. You can see that the population growth rate has been slowing down in the past 30 years as a whole. According to relevant data, the total population of the post-70s generation is about 215 million, the post-80s population is about 228 million (if according to the statistics of the 10-year generation, this is also the most populous generation), and the post-90s population is about 175 million (90 The post-00 population began to decline significantly), the post-00 population is about 146 million (the post-00 population is even smaller, only 64% of the post-80s), the number of young people is declining, and the population aging situation is very serious! The impact of population aging on all walks of life is obvious. A series of problems such as insufficient labor, difficulty in recruiting enterprises, and high pressure on young people's social responsibilities will appear. In terms of population aging and socio-economic development, we can refer to neighboring Japan. Everyone knows that Japan began to have an aging population 20 years ago. Now the population is in a state of negative growth. We are likely to repeat the path they have traveled. . When the economy and science and technology develop to a certain level, labor costs will continue to increase, and population decline will make this situation worse. This has given birth to the development of various industries in the direction of unmanned self-service, such as banks and labor. Service windows are constantly shrinking, and mobile banking and ATM machines are constantly replacing traditional manual service models. For example, in the retail industry, where an inch of land in developed cities, coupled with high staff labor costs, the total cost of opening a store and supermarket is very high. Yes, and unmanned vending machines can solve this problem well. Unmanned vending machines have a small footprint, cheap venue rentals, and flexible placement, which can be placed in various places; current unmanned vending machines are intelligently networked, and an operator can manage many machines through the network, according to the background data on a regular basis Just go to replenishment, and the labor cost is low. In Japan, the retail market with a population of 126.8 million operates up to about 5 million unmanned vending machines. The U.S. has a population of 330 million and has more than 5 million unmanned vending machines. Our nearly 1.4 billion people are currently operating There are less than 400,000 machines in operation, the gap is obvious, and the market potential is huge!
