Abstract

In general, the simple items we need to live in are purchased through retail stores such as supermarkets near our home. In the store, not only the items but also the management personnel and the payment instruments for the store management are located in one space called the store. Such a general store environment is gradually changing into an 'unmanned market' as a result of the development and fusion of information and communication technology (ICT). An unmanned market is an environment in which no one runs a market as the word has. An example of a typical change is Amazon's Unofficial Amazon Store. In addition, the usage and prospects of unmanned market in China are growing very meaningfully. In this study, the present situation of the unmanned market is examined in the US and China markets, and the development prospects are described. It also describes the key milestones necessary for the unmanned market.

일반적으로 우리가 생활을 하면서 필요한 간단한 물품은 집 근처에 위치하고 있는 슈퍼마켓등과 같은 판매점을 통하여 구입하고 있다. 판매점에는 물품뿐만 아니라 판매점 관리를 위한 관리인원 및 결재기기 등이 판매점이라는 하나의 공간에 있는 것이다. 이같은 일반적인 판매점의 환경이 정보통신기술(ICT)의 발전 및 융복합의 결과로서 서서히 '무인 마켓'으로의 변화를 맞이하고 있다. 무인마켓은 단어가 갖는 의미 그대로 마켓을 운영하는 사람이 없는 환경을 말한다. 대표적인 변화의 예로는 아마존의 무인판매점 형태인 '아마존 고'를 들 수 있다. 또한 중국에서는 무인 마켓의 사용 및 전망이 매우 의미있게 성장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무인마켓에 대해 미국 및 중국 시장을 중심으로 현 상황을 알아보고, 향후 발전 전망에 대해 기술하였다. 또한 무인 마켓에 필요한 주요 핵심 상황에 대해 기술하였다.
