Self-service Technologies Market

Introduction

Self-service technologies enable customers to place orders without interacting with human service providers. Some of these self-service technologies are very well established on a global scale, while other technologies are still facing resistance. Self-service technologies facilitate many benefits for both, businesses as well as consumers.

Consumers can get what they want easily and quickly, while businesses sell more, reduce expenditure and improve customer experience to create loyalty among their clientele.

Some instances of well-established Self-service technologies include Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Self-service and ticketing kiosks in transportation infrastructures and restaurants. Other niche instances of Self-service technologies include Self-service gas stations and kiosks in post offices and hotels.

Impact of Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic on Self-service Technologies Market

Tourism, transportation, hospitality, and food and beverage industries have taken a massive hit with governments legislating nationwide lockdowns to combat the spread of COVID-19 infections. Lag in growth rates of these industries is estimated to suppress the adoption of Self-service technologies on a global level.

Furthermore, citizens incorporating social distancing measures prefer not to venture outdoors or touch equipment meant for public use. This factor is also playing a key role in restricting the procurement of Self-service technologies.

However, end-users are incorporating sanitization initiatives to motivate consumers to use these technologies in order to avail services. The lagging growth is estimated to recover once consumers get accustomed to the COVID-19 way of life and governments start lifting lockdowns.

Self-service Technologies: Market Dynamics

It is getting increasingly difficult to find restaurants, public spaces and retail stores that do not use Self-service technologies of one sort or the other. Consumers demand orders and services to be fulfilled quickly, without them having to instruct how the orders need to be fulfilled.

This demand is motivating service providers to incorporate Self-service technologies in order to enhance customer experience and satisfaction, while reducing costs. Many businesses are incorporating combinations of Self-service technologies and human services, in order to cater to both speed related and personalization related demands from the consumers. These are some key factors driving the growth of Self-service technologies market on a global level.

However, the hardware components associated with Self-service technologies demand regular maintenance and upgrades. Ignoring these demands results in diminishing customer satisfaction, which hampers revenue generation.

Furthermore, procurement of maintenance and upgrade services incurs additional costs, and small- and medium-sized operations are usually not too keen on spending money on such services. These challenges are restricting the growth of global Self-service technologies market.
