Asia Vending & Smart Retail Expo

The Asia Vending & Smart Retail Expo (VRE) is an international trade fair focusing on vending machines and smart retail solutions. It takes place at the China Import & Export Fair Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou, a modern and spacious exhibition center known for its international events. In recent years, the vending machine industry in China has experienced rapid growth, primarily due to increasing purchasing power, urbanization, and the expanding middle class. Guangzhou, as one of the most important economic and trading centers in southern China, is no exception.

Vending machines provide a convenient and fast way for consumers to purchase products and services around the clock without relying on human salespeople. In China, vending machines are particularly popular for snacks, beverages, fresh products, small items, and even technical devices like mobile phones. With the introduction of intelligent technology and artificial intelligence, vending machines in China, especially in Guangzhou, have become more advanced and diverse. They now also offer facial recognition, contactless payment options, and personalized advertising. These innovations have contributed to promoting and expanding the vending machine industry in China. The organizer of the Expo is the Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group, a renowned trade fair organizer specializing in organizing large-scale events and trade fairs in various industries. The VRE covers a wide range of industry sectors, including vending machines, smart retail technologies, payment systems, logistics, and more. The product range extends from vending machines to intelligent cash register systems and digital shopping solutions. The offered items include classic vending machines, integrated systems, multifunctional self-payment machines, self-service products, and terminal monitoring systems. Some highlights of the trade fair include presentations of innovations and technological breakthroughs, expert lectures, and networking opportunities for participants. Overall, vending machines contribute to making retail in Guangzhou and throughout China more efficient and customer-friendly. They are an essential component of the growing smart retail movement, which aims to improve the shopping experience for consumers through the use of technology and innovation.
