1. As we said earlier, the entry threshold for unmanned shelves is low. Major e-commerce companies believe that as long as the layout is rapidly expanded, funds for gradual maintenance will naturally flow in. Judging from the layout of convenience bees, offline supermarkets are generally depressed, and e-commerce is also facing growth bottlenecks. Convenience stores outperform supermarkets and e-commerce in real time with point density, but for novice convenience stores like Convenience Bee, it takes time to build a store network, and the layout of unmanned shelves can help them make up for the lack of store coverage.

People imagine that the market growth space is beautiful, but all this takes time, and then the reality can't wait. We can only continue to see if the unmanned shelves can persist.

2. Is the trust between people really that reliable? When the concept of unmanned shelves was put forward, people first thought of safety? Will there be many thefts and losses? According to statistics, the loss rate of unmanned shelves is 2%-6%, but market analysts say it is far more than that. Moreover, some time ago, some media revealed that a company's unmanned shelves were put on shelves for three days, and the products were robbed, and few people paid.

We found that most of the products on unmanned shelves are packaged snacks within 10 yuan, and the products with unit price higher than 15 yuan are rarely involved. Although unmanned shelves know that the gross profit of goods with high unit price is relatively higher, it is still a piece they dare not try, because it will mean higher theft rate and break through the upper limit of losses they can bear. After all, in the test of human nature, no one can say for sure.

For the future of unmanned shelves, maybe he still has many opportunities. As Ma Yun said, the future is the era of retail, and this market has great potential. At present, some unmanned shelves in the market have begun to upgrade their shelves intelligently, such as arriving home from JD.COM, leading frogs and so on.
