Venditalia 2022 is preparing for the edition – Worldwide Vending Show, at Fiera Milano from 25 to 28 May 2022, will open from September to registrations to companies in the sector aiming for recovery after a complex period that also involved this sector.
The event will offer a complete cross-section of the technologies in the sector, also giving space to innovation made in Italy where Italian vending machine manufacturers are world leaders with about 70% of production exported.

The numbers of the sector

Venditalia 2022 represents a country like Italy that boasts the largest automatic food distribution network in Europe with 822 thousand distributors present.
A sector that in Italy generates a turnover – between the automatic market (automatic machines) and the portioned market (pod and capsule machines) – which in 2019 was worth a total of 2.3 billion euros and delivered 6 billion drinks.

According to Confida, the Italian Association of Automatic Distribution, last year vending lost a total of 30% in value vs 2019, with peaks of up to 60% of turnover during the lockdown period. To weigh was the sharp drop in consumption in places where vending is very strong: offices, factories, schools and universities.
Despite everything, even in this difficult period, the sector has not stopped. And this thanks to the focus on innovation, with the development of cashless and contactless payment systems, and security technologies and also continuing on the path towards sustainability of the supply chain.

A look to the future

Alongside the exhibition, Venditalia 2022 – Worldwide Vending Show will not lack training and updating activities organized by the main companies in the sector: the market of tomorrow, innovations, trends and opportunities not to be missed for investing in the best possible way.
The development of the conference part will take place along two lines. On the one hand, innovation, which will characterize the first day’s meetings; on the other hand, sustainability to which the second day will be dedicated, an opportunity to take stock of a value that the sector has made its own and is developing through virtuous conduct of the entire supply chain.

A trade show so strongly oriented towards the future could only be hosted by a neighborhood that has already projected itself into the phygital dimension.
In fact, within the Fiera Milano Venditalia 2022 – Worldwide Vending Show district, you will be able to enjoy innovative services. Digital signage will allow the flow of visitors to be managed immediately with information that is immediately usable throughout the district and a new event App will offer new tools ranging from wayfinding to 3D maps, up to the possibility of booking and paying for services such as parking or lunch will transform the visit into a new and original experience. In addition, the innovative Expo Plaza catalog will offer an additional opportunity for companies to show themselves and find new business opportunities.
