Blind Box Boom Sweeps Europe & US, POP MART Accelerates Global Expansion

Ride the Blind Box Wave: TCN Empowers Global Brands with Proven Smart Vending Solutions

The blind box economy is captivating global markets at an unprecedented pace. POP MART's Q1 2025 financial report revealed staggering overseas revenue growth of 475%-480% year-over-year, fueled by explosive surges of 895%-900% in the Americas and 600%-605% in Europe. The global popularity of collectible culture is rapidly driving the "instant gratification" consumer trend.

Amid this transformation, the smart vending machine model is becoming a critical retail channel for blind boxes. Leveraging advantages like lower costs, flexible deployment, and operational efficiency, brands increasingly turn to automated vending terminals to enter new markets, test products, and accelerate international expansion.

TCN, China's leading automated retail solutions provider, is dedicated to delivering professional, efficient, and sustainable blind box vending solutions for IP holders, brands, and operators. Its systems are now widely deployed worldwide.

Unmanned Retail Takes Center Stage: TCN Ushers Brands into the "Buy & Get Now" Era

With traditional retail facing high rents and labor costs, smart vending offers collectible brands a flexible and cost-effective market entry strategy. TCN's specialized blind box machines are strategically placed in high-traffic locations – shopping malls, theme parks, airports, and commercial streets – serving as vital offline touchpoints for global brand expansion.

These machines support multi-size blind box displays and sales while featuring expansive visual merchandising and smart interaction capabilities, effectively connecting consumer curiosity with brand sales objectives.
