The global interactive kiosk market was valued at USD 28.45 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2022 to 2030. This growth is primarily driven by advancements in payment and security technologies, which have significantly boosted the adoption of interactive kiosks in recent years. Many manufacturers of self-service kiosks are capitalizing on these technological improvements, integrating them into their products to enhance functionality and customer experience. As a result, these technologies are becoming a core component of interactive kiosks, playing a key role in market expansion.

Interactive kiosks are increasingly utilized to reduce long queues in public spaces such as railway stations, airports, banks, and shopping malls, where they facilitate quicker check-ins, inquiries, and transactions. In settings like hospitals and government offices, kiosks are used to streamline data collection processes, reduce paperwork, and improve the overall visitor experience. Their efficiency in these scenarios has made them indispensable tools for both businesses and service providers, especially in high-traffic environments.

One of the key factors driving the growth of the interactive kiosk market is the increased adoption of these products in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector, as well as in retail. Companies are actively working to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into kiosks to enhance their capabilities. For instance, ViaTouch Media has launched AI-enabled kiosks that allow customers to interact with and evaluate products before making a purchase. As items are removed from the shelves, a video display provides detailed product information, enriching the shopping experience. The surge in self-service kiosk adoption was further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as businesses and consumers alike sought to minimize human interaction. Self-checkout kiosks gained popularity for their ability to ensure social distancing in stores, offering a touchless solution to reduce contact during transactions.

Component Segmentation Insights

In 2021, the hardware segment dominated the market, accounting for more than 45.0% of the total revenue. The hardware component of kiosks includes essential equipment such as displays, printers, enclosures, card readers, scanners, motion sensors, physical keyboards, touchpads, bill acceptors, and recyclers. System integrators and independent software developers design applications to coordinate and manage these multiple hardware components. Manufacturers also focus on integrating software platforms with the hardware to optimize kiosk functionality and improve user interaction.

In addition to hardware, kiosk providers offer a range of services that cover everything from project feasibility analysis to design, installation, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. Maintenance services include real-time monitoring, allowing businesses to perform both reactive and proactive maintenance, which helps ensure kiosk uptime and smooth operation. In the software segment, platforms such as Windows, Android, and Linux are commonly used, with Windows holding the largest market share in 2021. However, Android is anticipated to experience the fastest growth in the coming years, owing to its adaptability and cost-effectiveness.

Interactive kiosks not only reduce delivery costs but also enable businesses to offer personalized plans to their customers. Over time, the primary objective of deploying interactive kiosks has shifted from merely providing basic customer service to fostering deeper customer engagement. Companies are increasingly leveraging kiosks as a tool for cross-selling and up-selling their products and services. The retail, food & beverage, BFSI, and travel & tourism sectors represent the largest shares of interactive kiosk deployments worldwide.

To enhance their offerings, many kiosk manufacturers are now collaborating with software developers or acquiring software design firms to create integrated solutions. These comprehensive offerings combine hardware, software, and related services, enabling businesses to deliver a complete interactive experience.

In addition to improving service delivery, remote monitoring and proactive maintenance of kiosks allow businesses to track system functionality, detect potential issues, and schedule timely maintenance to maximize operational uptime. The increasing use of smartphones and tablets by consumers is expected to further influence market growth over the forecast period. Customers will likely be able to access certain interactive kiosk functionalities directly through their mobile devices, potentially reducing the need for physical kiosk installations. However, this trend may also drive businesses to enhance the integration between kiosks and mobile platforms, creating new opportunities for customer engagement and service innovation.
