DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF STUDY

BCC Research defines self-service technologies—ATMs, kiosks and vending machines—as self-service automated dispensing machines that enable customers to produce a service independent of direct service employee involvement.

An ATM (automated teller machine) is an electronic device that allows a customer to perform financial transactions (cash withdrawals and deposits) without the need for employee involvement. A kiosk is a freestanding computer terminal that provides access to information. Vending machines are automated self-service machines that dispense items such as snacks, beverages and cigarettes.

To calculate and segment the market, we considered self-service hardware (terminals) and services related to those. However, self-service software (e.g., operating systems and security software) that is generally not provided by self-service terminal providers is beyond the scope of this report. In addition, services that are not directly related to self-service technologies, such as education and training, and consulting services, are also beyond the scope of this report, as is hardware security such as closed circuit television (CCTV) and biometric access control.

The report begins by introducing the reader to how the market for self-service technologies has evolved over time and how digital (e.g., mobility and connectivity) is affecting the market. Building on that understanding, the study proceeds to identify the following forces driving the market:

• Primary forces with a direct impact on the self-service technology markets.
• Secondary forces that have an indirect impact.
• Key funding and financing in this space, which are particularly supportive for new entrants.
• Some key challenges that may hinder the growth of this market.
• Key trends visible in the market.
• The top industries/verticals that are key users of self-service technologies, along with some other industries that are expected to be key users in the future.
• Demand in the Americas, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific for self-service technology terminals.
