The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the food and beverage stores market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the food and beverage stores market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Self-checkout technology is being widely used in department stores, specialty stores, and small convenience stores to automate payments. Self-checkout systems are integrated with a mobile software application to collect purchase data and to automatically receive payment. They make use of Near Field Communication (NFC) or quick response code (QR code), which is a machine-readable optical label. This eliminates the need for checkouts, queues, loading and unloading, and employees to operate the checkout counter. This type of automation reduces operational costs and saves time spent on manual billing. Self-checkout systems are being used extensively by retail stores in the USA and the UK. For instance, a survey on self-service checkouts in multiple countries found 90% of respondents use self-checkouts, of which Australia and Italy were leading. Wal-Mart has installed 10,000 self-checkout systems in its 1200 stores across the USA. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the food and beverage stores market in 2022.

The size of ecommerce & other non-store retailers market is expected to grow to $6,091.24 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.2%. Retail companies are increasingly working towards providing customers with a seamless shopping experience and are thus working towards integrating their brick and mortar stores with online shopping. Omnichannel retailing integrates the different methods of shopping available to consumers, such as by phone, online, or in a physical store. Retailers adopting this strategy offer customers numerous ways to purchase their products, through both online and offline channels. Thus, it is more flexible and convenient for consumers to purchase goods or services, which helps to boost sales. For example, Oasis, a UK-based fashion retailer, consolidates its e-commerce site, mobile app, and brick-and-mortar stores to provide an easier and better shopping experience. Associates working in the Oasis are provided iPads to give shoppers on-the-spot information on product availability. If an item is not in stock, the staff use their iPads to place an online order for the customer. A similar service is provided to online shoppers. If an item is unavailable online, customers can use the company’s service, wherein the retailer searches its stores for the product and ships it to the shopper. Major companies in the e-commerce & other non-store retailers market include Amazon.com Inc., JD.com Inc., Alibaba Group Holding Limited, Walmart Inc., Suning.com Group, Vipshop Holdings Ltd., Wayfair Inc., Qurate Retail Inc., Otto GmbH & Co KG, and eBay Inc. Vending machine operators are integrating gamification techniques with their vending machines to enhance the customer experience. Gamification is the process of incorporating game-playing elements to motivate people to engage with a product or service. Due to its interactive nature between the customer and the product through the vending machine, it results in a better customer experience and an overall return rate. For instance, some of the e-commerce companies using gamification in shopping include eBay with its bidding and feedback system, Nike with its "winter’s angry campaign," BestBuy’s Cityville Presence, and Zappos, following gamified culture and customer service. Nescafe set up a Nescafé Smoovlatté vending machine in Malaysia, which invited people to pose, sing, or dance in order to get a free bottle of the drink. The Amstel Pause vending machine in Bulgaria invited people to do nothing for 3 minutes to get a free can of beer, thus indicating the increase in gamification techniques in vending machines.
