Over the forecast period, the micro-store and corner-store concepts will continue to evolve further, focused on the growing demand for convenience and grab-and-go concepts. Players will use artificial intelligence to boost innovation.
In May 2023, the Portuguese Government announced its intention to ban the sale of tobacco through vending machines by 2025. The objective is to restrict the sale of tobacco to tobacconists and to airports from January 2025.
Convenience, practicality and relatively low operating costs mean that the potential of vending machines is strong, despite the decrease driven by the ban on tobacco sales. The emergence of corner stores or micro-stores using artificial intelligence may rise over the forecast period, creating new opportunities to add value to the channel.
