Market Dynamics

Drivers : Growing demand for packaged food

In the last few years, there has been a growing need to package food products in order to increase their shelf life and cater to the demand for ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat products. Mass production of packaged food products especially in countries such as the U.S., Japan, France, and Italy has driven the market for food robotics. In most large-scale food manufacturing plants, processes are being automated in order to ensure quality and consistency in the Stock Keeping Units (SKUs). Food robotics is being increasingly implemented in the production of processed, frozen, dried, and chilled packaged food products. The growth in the packaged dairy products and baked goods industries is also driving the food robotics market as these products are manufactured on a large scale across regions.

Restraints: Scarcity of skilled workforce in emerging economies

The adoption and implementation of food robotics requires skilled workforce. There is a scarcity of people specializing in disciplines such as electrical, embedded, software, and mechanical, which are required for the installation and maintenance of robots. Also, there is a deficit of highly qualified employees with specific skills needed to develop high value-added robots integrated with advanced technologies.

The European region dominates the food robotics market with the largest share in 2020.

The European food robotics market is driven by high investment in research & development with regard to technology, along with the rise in demand for packed, ready-to-cook, and high-quality food products. The European Robotics Association started monitoring in European Union activities, policies, and funding in the new robot technology to strengthen the international market for food & beverage manufacturing, which is likely to impact the adoption of food robotics positively.
