A robot kitchen encompasses a kitchen setup utilizing robots for food preparation, cooking, and serving. These robots streamline cooking procedures, offering convenience and efficiency by managing tasks such as chopping, stirring, and cooking to simplify meal prep. They are employed across diverse kitchen settings, including fast-food establishments, automated restaurants, and kitchens.
Robot kitchens typically fall into two main categories such as hardware and software. Hardware comprises the physical and electronic components of a computer, performing tasks such as data calculation, information storage, input processing, and output provision. Various types of robots, such as 6-axis, Cartesian, delta, SCARA (selective compliance assembly robot arm), among others, cater to different applications such as household and commercial usage.

This robot kitchen market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The robot kitchen market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.35 billion in 2024 to $3.66 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automation and efficiency, rising labor costs, consumer trends and convenience, innovation and competition, food safety and hygiene.
The robot kitchen market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in artificial intelligence, integration with smart homes, rise of cloud-connected kitchens, enhanced human-machine interfaces, sustainability and eco-friendly features. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, increased connectivity, blockchain technology for food safety, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), increased connectivity.
The anticipated surge in smart home adoption is poised to propel the expansion of the robot kitchen market in the foreseeable future. Smart homes, characterized by internet-enabled appliances and devices controllable remotely via networked devices, create an intelligent environment conducive to automated cooking and activity monitoring within robot kitchens. For instance, findings from a June 2023 survey conducted by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics based in South Korea, revealed that 86% of UK homebuyers would contemplate a smart home for their next property, willing to pay an additional $22,860 (£18,000) for it. Moreover, nearly 40% of Gen Z buyers express a preference for their next property to be a smart home. Consequently, the rising uptake of smart homes emerges as a key driver propelling the growth trajectory of the robot kitchen market.
Major players within the robot kitchen market are increasingly directing their efforts towards the development of robot-operated, AI-driven restaurants as a strategic approach to gain a competitive advantage. These establishments employ robotics and automation technologies to handle various kitchen tasks encompassing food preparation, cooking, serving, and cleaning. An exemplar of this trend occurred in November 2023 when Remy Robotics, a Spain-based AI company specializing in food service, introduced its automated cooking robots through the launch of a novel concept restaurant named Better Days in New York City. This restaurant leverages Remy Robotics' robotics platform to orchestrate its operations, featuring a menu focused on health-conscious offerings within a compact physical dining space. Better Days operates as a storefront devoid of human presence, with food preparation conducted off-site and assembly managed by robots on-site. The utilization of AI-powered machines enables the restaurant to consistently deliver a diverse menu of high-quality, nutritious food items at an affordable price point. Furthermore, the robotic kitchen functions sans traditional ventilation systems or human oversight, underscoring the industry's movement towards labor-saving technological advancements.
In August 2023, Circus, a food tech company based in Germany, acquired Aitme for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition's objective is to incorporate state-of-the-art kitchen robotics technology from Aitme into Circus's micro-kitchens, enhancing its AI-generated culinary selections, reducing cooking durations, and minimizing food wastage. This move seeks to broaden Circus's offerings and expedite its goal of offering fresh and diverse food options to a wider audience. Aitme, based in Germany, specializes in the development of fully automated robotic kitchens.
