The global food robotics market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period. Robots in packaging reduce labor and safety costs while increasing throughput. Robots work at a high speed, thus increasing productivity and output. The increasing implementation of robot systems for packaging, palletizing, and more is significantly driving the growth of the market. In the article published by a New Food Magazine in April 2018, one of the egg-producing farms in Thailand has raised its productivity by 30% by using a robotic system that stacks heavy boxes and baskets of eggs onto pallets. Before this, workers would manually stack the cartons and baskets of eggs onto the pallets, with a single worker lifting about 15 tons of eggs a day. The farm now involves automation at every step of the process, including feeding chickens, clearing manure, collecting, inspecting, sorting, and packing thousands of eggs daily.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Food Robotics Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the manufacturing and service sectors being badly hit globally. The overall food robotics market growth was hampered during the pandemic due to the implemented restriction on manufacturing process, transportation, and procurement of raw materials to implement social distancing. However, robots can undertake human-like activities and can be gainfully programmed to replace some of the human interactions, which had created an opportunity for food robotics market over the forecast.
Segmental Outlook
The global food robotics market is segmented based on the type, payload, and application. Based on the type, the market is segmented into articulated, cartesian, SCARA, parallel, cylindrical, and collaborative. Based on the payload, the market is sub-segmented into the low payload, medium payload, and high payload. Based on the application, the market is augmented into packaging, processing, palletizing, picking, processing, and others. The articulated robot type is expected to hold a considerable share in the market over the forecast. The rising demand for ready-to-eat food as well as for packaged food enables the extensive use of articulated robot systems for palletizing and material handling in the food and beverages industry is propelling the growth of the market.
Global Food Robotics Market Share by Application, 2021 (%)
The Packaging Segment is Expected to hold the Significant Share in the Global Food Robotics Market
Among the application segment, the packaging segment is expected to hold a significant share in the market, due to the increasing demand for packaged food items across the globe. The adoption of robots for the packaging enables uniformity, reduction in wastage, and increases production capacity effectively and efficiently. Moreover, packaging along with lifting heavy boxes also represents health and safety risks to workers such as repetitive strain and back injuries which may affect production, which is another factor pushing industries to adopt robot systems.
Regional Outlooks
The global food robotics market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. The North American region is expected to hold a prominent share in the food robotics market over the forecast. The growing number of manufacturers across the region along with the presence of well-developed & well-established infrastructure is the key factor driving the growth of the market.
Global Food Robotics Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
The Europe Region is Expected to hold the Prominent Share in the Global Food Robotics Market
The Europe region is expected to hold a prominent share in the market over the forecast, due to food safety regulations and increasing labor costs across the region is fueling the growth of the market over the forecast. Using robot-controlled automated systems makes sense in terms of productivity, food safety, and health and safety. Machines are faster and more precise. In addition, Removing the human element takes out potential food safety problems such as poor handwashing, the transmission of foodborne disease, and infection among workers is another factor pushing the food and beverages industries to adopt automation internally.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global food robotics market include ABB Group, FANUC Corp., KUKA AG, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Denso Corp., Mayekawa Mfg. Co. Ltd., Omron Corp., Rockwell Automation Inc., Seiko Epson Corp, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2022, Food robotics company Mukunda Foods has raised $8 million in a funding round led by Zomato, taking the company's post-money valuation to $30 million. Zomato invested $5 million as part of the funding round. Mukunda stated that its products enable restaurants to scale rapidly while maintaining consistency in food quality and customer experience across multiple outlets. It also supports restaurants become more efficient by reducing manpower costs, wastage and increasing kitchen throughput.
