The Life Expectancy of a Kiosk
The average lifespan of a kiosk in the field is typically between five and ten years. However, this is heavily influenced by several variables like frequency of use, the build-quality of materials, maintenance, and alterations.

Use Frequency
Thankfully, durable interactive kiosks are built for use. However, frequent operation does play a role in how long a kiosk will be active in the field.
If the kiosk is in a high-traffic, high-use area, expect a shorter life expectancy. This is because, as with anything, regular use contributes to more wear and tear.
To give kiosks the best protection against wear from continual use, being mindful of the manufacturing materials is key.
High-Quality Materials
Naturally, the higher the quality of materials used, the longer a kiosk will likely stay in the field.
Kiosks are built using robust, high-quality materials, typically powder coated metal or stainless steel. The build-quality of these materials helps them hold up on location.
This is because both options are resistant to rust, and the thick powder coating on metal provides additional protection, creating a shell around the metal that can slow corrosion.
Read on to explore how each of these factors affect a kiosk's life expectancy.
