Interactive Kiosk Market Trends  & Dynamics:

Driver: Enhanced applications over conventional services

Interactive kiosks rank as one of the most potent forces for change within this retail landscape, empowering firms to improve customer shopping experiences. Systems provide customers with instant information regarding the products. Armed with this information, which features specifications, prices, and even other customers' reviews, customers can easily have all the facts and, therefore, make informed purchase decisions without the need of store personnel's guidance. Such a process makes them more efficient, saving customers time and energy. The POS systems-equipped self-service kiosks allow for the scanning and payment of items by consumers, cutting down on the time spent in the store and on staff workload. However, the Al capabilities integrated with the kiosks help reduce shrinkage. Interactive kiosks were highly successful due to the fact that easily adopted technology allows them to transcend retail and do well in other sectors such as healthcare and transportation. The interactive and intuitive screen interfaces facilitate the development of interactive kiosks through which customers can easily and relatively quickly purchase products. Customers are increasingly favoring self-service kiosks because of the ease with which they can scan for information, navigate through different options, and transact business in a seamless manner. Furthermore, the use of touch interaction enables easy service delivery and eventually enhances customer satisfaction.

Restraint: High installation costs cost and need for regular maintenance coupled with increased risk of physical theft in stores

The installation cost of the kiosks is very high, and the required software is customized for every kiosk based on the functions of the respective kiosk. The costs incurred are dependent on the design, function, and whether it is placed indoors or outdoors. Because leasing the interactive kiosk system is for a limited time, several vendors do it if they are making temporary arrangements or are not able to afford large investments in the installations. High costs are incurred during installation and authorization of the kiosk. The expenditure keeps on increasing under the maintenance of hardware and software components. But despite high expenditure on maintenance, the maintenance of hardware and software ensures the smooth operation of the system. These kiosks are based on touchscreen displays; therefore, the entire communication is based on interactive displays, and technical faults or damage could bring the system to a standstill. A majority of kiosks in operation are touchscreen based at present. Thus, there is high likelihood of the screen being damaged, entailing regular replacements, resulting in increased costs. Instead, many providers offer more powerful screens in heavy-traffic areas where the screens can easily be exposed to potential damage.

Opportunity: Integration of intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator technology

Those are the interactive personal assistant-for example, Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa. They're all designed for the application of natural language communication. When integrated into the kiosk, a kiosk user gets to speak to the kiosk through the use of voice commands and the kiosk responding through spoken prompts, hence making the experience very friendly and intuitive. In most scenarios, IPAs know or learn in order to subsequently adapt to the habits of their users. Not only does this add personalization, but the kiosk will attempt to provide information that is most relevant to users based on past interactions or preferences of the users. On the other hand, a Knowledge Navigator is good at accessing the information from big databases. With this incorporation, this means a user may ask the kiosk questions that are quite complicated or they can seek in-depth information on over a number of different topics. This is particularly useful in locations where the users require specific information, for instance, public places or tourist locations. There is also the guiding the user through an extensive selection of information. In an ideal interactive kiosk positioning for example, they may guide the user to a location, facility, or site, through step-by-step directions thus providing an excellent wayfinding value. The embedding of an intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator into an interactive kiosk delivers an experience-rich tool for informatics, easing access to and improving the use of available information, and opens up opportunities for many applications in public space.

For example, in March 2023, INMAR INC., leading provider of post-purchase customer experience and e-commerce returns solutions, and KIOSK Information Systems partnered to offer self-service returns kiosks. The kiosks allow customers to return online purchases without needing a box or label. This saves stores money and increases customer satisfaction.

Challenge: Rising usage of tablets and mobile kiosks for online shopping

The prominent challenge for the interactive kiosk market, at present, is the customer preference for online shopping using tablets or mobile phones. The mobile apps pose a threat to kiosks as various tasks performed at interactive kiosks can be performed on mobile phones as well. The young population worldwide is accustomed to using technologically advanced devices routinely and demand all retail products and other services quickly. There is an increase in the usage of mobile phones for banking applications. The key reason for the increased use of mobile devices for banking is that mobile devices provide higher speed, convenience, and utility for customers.

Customers majorly prefer mobile devices as they can avail most banking services anytime throughout the day, it is not possible to use ATMs and self-service kiosks such as bill payment kiosks, check deposit kiasks, passbook printing kiosks, and card dispensers as the customer faces various issues such as the absence of remote teller technology, mobile wallet support, and insufficient management of information. To enhance customer experience, there is an increasing need to shift from self-service interactive bank kiosks to mobile devices. Banks and other financial institutions are also supporting this shift as they have identified the problems associated with the installation of kiosks. Factors such as cost management, limited information about the real-time operational status of kiosks, speed of banking, kiosk transactions, and limited integration with other banking channels and internal systems are continuously increasing the shift towards mobile devices for banking functions. Thus, mobile applications could be a challenge for interactive kiosks if the kiosks are not placed in user-friendly locations and if they are not maintained properly to provide timely and efficient services. This poses a challenge for kiosk providers to take a call on investing in large and costly interactive kiasks. The new phenomenon of vertical integration on smartphones and kiosks is being implemented to grow businesses with the help of kiosks. For instance, B-cycle (US), a bike rental company, has developed an app that guides users to the closest kiosk, and once utilized, it would guide them to the nearest open dock to return the bike. The smart locker is another similar example of systems trying to bridge the gap between mobile devices and kiosks. It allows the customers to store the product in the smart locker in any store and then retrieve their orders at that location. Amazon is one of the companies providing smart lockers to its customers which can be accessed through e-mail or the security codes of users.
