t the beginning of each year, Automatic Merchandiser
asks readers to vote for their favorite, best-selling or
most requested new products from the prior year.
These products generally highlight current trends
in technology, favorite flavor profiles and consumer
buying habits. Despite COVID-19 challenges, 2020
has been no different. Although COVID-19 changed the
needs of the operator and the customer overnight, manufacturers rose to the challenge and brought forth products
to meet those needs.

Automatic Merchandiser * April 2021

In fact, the pandemic didn't stop many manufacturers from introducing innovative products, especially in the
vending, micro market and OCS channels. More companies
will be bringing employees back to the workplace in 2021,
and these new products have the ability to lure them to the
breakroom, especially if they can do so safely.
This year, more than 1,000 participants placed their
votes for the best products introduced in 11 categories in
2020. These are the products you will want to take a closer
look at and consider adding to your lineup in 2021.
