Restraint:

Moreover, the recent consumer shift towards online or card payments require high-speed internet connectivity to ensure quick and timely payments. However, several operational challenges including slow internet speed, lower bandwidth, or server traffic may result in the unavailability of electricity and internet connectivity, which limits the implementation of retail automation solutions. Additionally, the lack of internet and electricity facilities in rural areas further restricts the installation of automated retail solutions in rural areas. The aforementioned factors are further restraining the growth of the market.
