In an age of hectic lifestyles and computerized communication and transactions, the Kiosk Market presents an opportunity for businesses and consumers alike to sell and buy products as well as services at ease. Automating day-to-day tasks - right from picking up breakfast to paying bills - has been rendered convenient owing to the presence of kiosks.

Depending upon the application, kiosks can be of several types: ticketing kiosks at movie theatres, bus or train stations, and parking lots; banking kiosks and ATMs that allow banking transactions at convenient locations; check-in and food-ordering kiosks at hotels and restaurants; self-checkout kiosks at supermarkets, hypermarkets, and retail outlets; postal kiosks that allow customers to carry out mailing transactions without the help of postal workers; information kiosks, and DVD rental kiosks.

One of the major advantages presented by a kiosk is the convenience of establishing a business at a strategic location within a city at any given time and the ability to move around or change the location depending on the success or failure of the business. The prices of real estate have been skyrocketing over the past several years and the operating costs of stand-alone stores have also surged. Operators increasingly prefer kiosks over traditional brick-and-mortar stores because of their low initial investment and overhead costs. The performance of a kiosk depends strongly on impulse purchases, mainly due to the convenient location of the kiosk and the kind of products or services on offer. The economic recovery in many countries has resulted in a rise in disposable income and, as a consequence, the purchasing power of the consumer, which has in turn impacted impulse purchases and overall out-of-home spending.

On the downside, the presence of strict local regulations makes expansion of the kiosk market rather difficult. Regulations differ from city to city and managing multiple kiosks can be burdensome for an operator. The absence or lack of interactive transactions means there is no personalized solution for customers. This can act as a restraint taking into account the expanding consumer base of the kiosk market. In addition, kiosks present a rather limited sales volume potential as compared with other types of business outlets. This poses a significant barrier to the growth of the kiosk market.
