Self-Service Technology Market Trends:

Increasing Consumer Preference for Convenience and Speed

Consumers are giving more importance to convenience and speed in service delivery, which is increasingly driving the demand for self-service technologies. There has been a hike in the fast-paced lifestyle which is prompting consumers to look for solutions that give quick and hassle-free services. About half of Americans (52%) are usually trying to do two or more things at once. 60% of these adults said they at least sometimes felt too busy, and 12% feel this way all or most of the time. Self-checkout kiosks, automated teller machines (ATMs), and digital information kiosks are technologies that serve this lifestyle by making sure that consumers are performing tasks independently and efficiently. Likewise, consumers appreciate the ability to control their transactions and interactions, which helps in minimizing wait times and reduce their dependency on human assistance. This is particularly visible in retail environments, where self-checkout systems have become increasingly popular.

Enhanced Customer Experience and Engagement

The use of self-service technologies is known to improve customer experience and engagement. These technologies give consumers control over their interactions, leading to a more satisfying and personalized service experience. Interactive kiosks and mobile apps provide customers with easy access to information and services. This convenience is especially helpful in places like airports, retail establishments, and healthcare institutions where prompt and effective service is crucial. According to an industry survey, 30% of customers in quick-service restaurants (QSRs) would rather place their orders through a kiosk than a cashier if the wait times were the same. Also, 49.4% of retail consumers choose self-service checkouts because they believe it to be a quicker experience. Furthermore, 65% of customers in this survey believed that contactless payment methods are in line with their primary goals for security and hygiene.

Growing Technology Adoption in Various Industries

Self-service solutions are becoming more and more popular in the retail, banking, healthcare, hotel, and transportation industries as a way to boost productivity, cut expenses, and enhance customer happiness. ATMs, interactive teller machines (ITMs), and mobile banking applications are being used by the banking industry to save operating costs, provide 24/7 service, and give consumers a convenient and safe banking experience. Additionally, the reliability and trustworthiness of these technologies have increased with the implementation of cutting-edge security features like biometric authentication. In India, the fiscal year 2024 witnessed a notable 5.51 percent increase in the monthly average cash withdrawals from ATMs, reaching Rs 1.43 crore. In the healthcare industry, self-service kiosks and patient portals are also improving patient registration, check-in, and billing processes.
