UK Industrial Vending Machine Market (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the industrial vending machine market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step has been to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the total market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments. Two sources of information—secondary and primary—have been used to identify and collect information for an extensive technical and commercial study of the industrial vending machine market.

Secondary Research

Secondary sources include company websites, magazines, industry news, associations, and databases (Factiva and Bloomberg). These secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.

Primary Research

Primary sources mainly consist of several experts from the core and related industries, along with preferred industrial vending machine providers, distributors, alliances, standards, and certification organizations related to various segments of this industry’s value chain.

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts such as Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), and Directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from industrial vending machine providers, such as Fastenal Company (US), Airgas, Inc. (US), RUBIX GROUP (UK), MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (US), Turtle (US), and W.W. Grainger, Inc. (US); research organizations, distributors, industry associations, and key opinion leaders. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the total size of the industrial vending machine market. These methods have also been used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The following research methodology has been used to estimate the market size:

• Major players in the industry and markets have been identified through extensive secondary research.
• The industry’s value chain and market size (in terms of value) have been determined through primary and secondary research processes.
• All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.

Top-Down Approach

In the top-down approach, the overall market size has been used to estimate the size of the individual market segments (mentioned in market segmentation) through percentage splits from secondary and primary research. For specific market segments, the size of the most appropriate immediate parent market has been used to implement the top-down approach. The bottom-up approach has also been implemented for data obtained from secondary research to validate the market size of various segments.

Market Definition

An industrial vending machine is a system used on production sites that automatically dispenses the required maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) products or personal protective equipment (PPE) 24/7 and performs automatic record-keeping. It dispenses supplies directly to the employees. The industrial vending machine is equipped with sensors, locker units, cameras, internet connectivity, touch display, software, RFID portal tools, biometrics, and cashless payment technology. It can be configured to be accessed by a specific employee or group of employees, for a specific quantity, within a particular time frame. This can help organizations eliminate the unnecessary use of inventory.
