In a landmark victory for Chinese robotics, Anno Robot has been crowned the 2025 Global Coffee Robot Leader, surpassing established players from Japan and the United States. The Shenzhen-based national high-tech enterprise, founded in 2017, now operates in over 60 countries with AI-powered coffee kiosks that deliver 98% brew consistency, 24/7 uptime, and zero human staffing—setting a new international benchmark for unmanned retail.
The Global Race for Coffee Robot Dominance: China Takes the Crown

The global vending machine market is surging from USD 21.46 billion in 2024 to USD 23.11 billion in 2025, projected to reach USD 45.06 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 7.70%. Intelligent vending—a core battleground for robotic innovation—will grow from USD 15.51 billion in 2025 to USD 37.52 billion by 2031 at 15.86% CAGR.
China leads this charge with 59.4% of the global intelligent vending market in 2025. Domestic vending revenue will jump from 42.2 billion yuan in 2024 to 51.55 billion yuan in 2025, climbing to 73.93 billion yuan by 2027. The Asia-Pacific intelligent segment—dominated by China—is valued at USD 6,909.65 million in 2025 and will expand at 16.07% CAGR to USD 22,762.28 million by 2033.
While Japan pioneered compact robotics and the U.S. focused on software-driven automation, China now leads in scale, speed, and cost-effectiveness. The AI in retail market will explode from USD 14.24 billion in 2025 to USD 96.13 billion by 2030 at 46.54% CAGR. By 2025, 95% of retailers plan AI integration, with 73% in active testing and 80% of executives viewing automation as essential.
Labor shortages fuel this shift: 25.3% of global food service businesses report staffing gaps; China’s intelligent manufacturing faces a 4.5 million worker deficit. In this vacuum, robotic coffee kiosks that operate autonomously, relocate overnight, and deliver barista-grade results in under 45 seconds are no longer novelties—they’re market dominators.
