Why Japan’s Vending Machines Make Billions | Success Story

Japan turned vending machines into a billion-dollar industry.
From coffee and ramen to flowers and umbrellas – machines run 24×7 and generate massive revenue.

Companies like Coca‑Cola Japan, Asahi, and Suntory earn billions through vending networks.
In fact, more than half of Coca-Cola Japan’s sales come from vending machines.

India tried to build the same model.
Players like Vendiman, Daalchini, and BigBasket experimented with vending-based retail.

But the model struggled.

Why?
Because India already has dense small shops, different buying habits, and rising health awareness.

This video explains:
• How Japan built a vending machine economy
• Why the same model failed in India
• The importance of local habits in business success
• A startup lesson on why copying models rarely works

Real markets. Real lessons. Real business thinking.
