Food Robotics Market size was valued at USD 1,923.4 Million in 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2023 to 2030.
Food robotics pertains to the utilization of machines in the food and beverage industry to execute a range of intricate tasks, including picking, packing, and palletizing. Advancements in technology across various sectors have transformed fictional robots into tangible realities. As the demand for heightened productivity continues to rise, the adoption of robots to automate tasks becomes more prevalent, making robots an indispensable component in diverse industries.
Digitalization plays a vital role in streamlining business processes by leveraging new digital technologies like big data analytics, IT/OT convergence, digital twin, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and automation. The combination of IoT and AI has proven highly beneficial in achieving superior food safety, enhancing traceability, reducing waste, and lowering costs and risks across different stages of food processing and packaging. Over the years, digitalization has emerged as a crucial enabler for automation, with AI significantly boosting operational productivity by enhancing workforce efficiency. The use of digitalization in the food and beverage industry is governed by various regulations. These systems offer inherent advantages such as quality control, durability, hygiene, and food preservation, making them widely adopted in various applications such as bakery and confectionery, meat, seafood, poultry, dairy, and grains. Particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where domestic manufacturing and consumer income levels are on the rise, digitalization products are increasingly gaining traction in end-use industries, fostering innovation in this sector.
The Global Food Robotics Market is segmented on the basis of Product Type, By Application, By Payload, and Region.
The market is divided into four categories based on Product Type: Articulated, Cartesian, SCARA, Parallel, Cylindrical, Collaborative, Others. The collaborative robots segment is projected to experience the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. This rapid growth is primarily driven by the increasing awareness of the benefits of utilizing robots in challenging environments, such as humid greenhouses and hot ovens, where repetitive tasks can lead to employee injuries. Companies worldwide are embracing collaborative robots due to their remarkable technological advancements and improved affordability. A case in point is Cascina Italia, which utilizes collaborative robots, manufactured by Universal Robots A/S, to efficiently process millions of eggs daily. These robots have significantly reduced the need for human intervention in labor-intensive tasks, such as preparing bulky packages for large-scale distribution. Additionally, these collaborative robots enable fenceless operation, allowing them to work seamlessly alongside employees on production lines.
The market is divided into three categories based on Application: Palletizing, Packaging, Repackaging, Pick & Place, Processing, Others. Palletizing dominates the market by application. palletizing applications in food robots improve productivity, enhance product quality, and contribute to a more efficient and streamlined food production process
Geographically, this market is widespread into the regions of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. These regions are further divided as per the nations bringing business.
