Food Robotics Market, By Type (SCARA, Articulated, Parallel, Cylindrical, Others), By Payload (Low, Medium, Heavy), By Application (Packaging, Repackaging, Palletizing, Picking, Processing, Others), By Region Analysis - Global Analysis and Industry Forecast Report Till 2030.

Food Robotics Market is predicted to grow from $1.2 billion in 2021 to $3.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period.

Technology has come a long way in terms of broadening the scope of robotics in various sectors. Today, robots are being adopted in the food industry for handling food processing, pelletizing, and packaging. Automated robots reduce dependency on manual labour, the time associated with accomplishing repetitive tasks, and the margin for error. In food processing, these robots are capable of handling the entire cycle, right from seed planting and crop harvesting to the production, packaging, and transportation of food.

In the food industry, robots serve various purposes such as kinematics, hygiene, financial transactions, human-robot interactions, safety and protection, and the operation and maintenance of critical tasks. While robots are deployed in multiple areas in the food industry, food serving remains a rapidly emerging aspect of immense significance.

The global market for food robots is being driven by an increase in government regulations pertaining to food safety. Demand for processed foods is rising due to a growing population of health-conscious consumers worldwide, which is boosting the need for robots and automation in the food business.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

Digitalization enhances corporate operations by utilizing emerging digital technologies such as big data analytics, IT/OT convergence, digital twin, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and automation technologies. At various phases of food processing and packaging, IoT and AI are helping businesses achieve high levels of food safety, improve traceability, decrease waste, and minimize costs and risks. In recent years, digitalization has become a crucial automation enabler, with AI boosting operational productivity by raising employee productivity. The use of digitalization in the food and beverage sector is governed by several laws. These factors are propelling the growth of the food robotics market.

Restraints:

The majority of food and beverage companies are reluctant to employ automated methods because of the increased installation cost. Small and medium-sized manufacturers are reluctant to invest heavily in installation costs upfront because doing so could extend the payback period and raise operating costs. This is the main reason which is  restraining the growth of the Food robotics market.

Opportunities:

Robotic capabilities and applications have typically been restricted to manufacturing big payloads for transportation equipment. Nonetheless, more industries, like the food processing sector, are adopting automation using mostly light payload robots as a result of the expanding capability of robots. Areas such as dairy and bread in the food business are minimizing human touch in the production process to comply with health authority guidelines. The expansion of robot capability to encompass packaging, repackaging, and palletizing presents a chance for the food robotics market to grow.
