A cooking robot is an automated device designed to assist with or perform cooking tasks with precision and efficiency. These robots utilize advanced technologies to ensure consistent and high-quality meal preparation. They are utilized in both residential and commercial settings, providing benefits such as increased productivity, reduced labor costs, and enhanced food safety.
The primary types of cooking robots include cobots, selective compliance assembly robot arms (SCARA), delta robots, and others. Cobots are designed to work collaboratively with humans in kitchen environments, aiding in tasks such as food preparation and assembly. They enhance productivity and flexibility in commercial kitchens by automating repetitive tasks while ensuring safety and interaction with kitchen staff. Applications of cooking robots include beverage making, meat processing, fast food preparation, and more, serving both commercial and residential users.

The cooking robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2023 to $3.79 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors such as increasing demand for automation, high labor costs, technological innovation, consumer desire for consistency, advancements in battery technology, and the influence of early adopters.
The cooking robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as increased health and nutrition awareness, demands for energy efficiency, customization capabilities, an aging population, the impact of the pandemic, and global urbanization. Major trends to watch include AI and predictive cooking, enhanced interactivity, multi-functional capabilities, IoT connectivity, integration with augmented reality (AR), improved safety features, and the use of sustainable materials.
The expanding commercial food service industry is expected to propel the growth of the cooking robot market going forward. The commercial food service industry refers to businesses and establishments that prepare and serve food and beverages to customers for profit. The expanding commercial food service industry is driven by the popularity of fast-casual restaurants, which offer higher-quality food at lower prices than full-service restaurants. Additionally, higher disposable incomes and innovations such as online ordering, food delivery apps, and digital payments enhance customer convenience and fuel industry growth. Cooking robots simplify and streamline operations in the commercial food service industry, helping businesses control costs, maintain consistency, and ensure high standards of food safety and quality. For instance, in June 2024, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based federal fact-finding agency, the number of establishments in food services and drinking places in private industry for the 4th quarter of 2023 was 711,159, an increase of 4.28% compared to 695,817 during the 1st quarter of 2023. Therefore, the expanding commercial food service industry will drive the cooking robot market.
Leading companies in the cooking robot market are advancing systems designed to replicate complex cooking processes through AI-powered robotic chefs, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and capture a larger share of the automated kitchen solutions market. AI-powered robotic chefs are sophisticated culinary robots that replicate intricate cooking techniques, adapt recipes, and deliver consistent, high-quality meals. They monitor over 1,200 parameters, including robot vision and food quality, to ensure optimal performance and integration with point-of-sale systems. For instance, in June 2022, Nala Robotics, a US-based automation machinery manufacturer, launched Pizzaiola, an autonomous pizzeria robot capable of preparing salads and cooking a variety of menu items, such as pizzas, burgers, wings, and pasta. This 7-axis robotic chef utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to produce precise, high-quality pizzeria-style foods. Pizzaiola can make up to 50 pizzas per hour with 35 toppings and cheeses, five types of dough, and four sauces. The system features natural language processing, manages voice menu orders, and handles each step from dough preparation to cooking and packaging pizzas in various sizes. Its modular design allows for customization with additional fryers, grills, and multiple pizza oven options.
