Market Insight
Food robotics comprises of
automated machines to perform monotonous, heavy, and repetitive tasks
professionally, in the food & beverage manufacturing industry. These robots
are constructed with the aim to replace or support manual efforts, to decrease
the time & energy consumed, and eradicate errors during primary and
secondary food processing. The food robots are used to perform tasks, for
instance, palletizing, packaging, re-packaging, splitting, cutting, mixing,
picking, and placing food & beverage products. Additionally, the current
concern over the spread of coronavirus is also expected to have a positive
impact on the food robotics market. The novel coronavirus has expanded
enthusiasm for robots in the food industry. These advances can help manage
enormous staffing deficiencies in the food sector and supply chains along with
the requirement for “social distancing”.
The factors such as cumulative
food safety regulations and the rising demand for packaging & re-packaging
in food production are anticipated to augment the demand for food robotics,
internationally. Moreover, snowballing instances of food contamination through
human contact have encouraged manufacturers to employ industrial robots in the
food & beverage manufacturing procedures. With the accumulative
functionality of robots, further industries such as the food processing
industry are adopting automation with low payload robots. Segments such as
dairy and bakery in the food & beverage industry are minimizing human
contact in the production procedure in order to fulfill health authority
standards. There is an opportunity for the food robotics market to grow with
the upsurge in the functionality of robots comprises packaging, repackaging,
and palletizing. On the other hand, the limited skilled workforce is the major
limiting factor for the food robotics market. The current trend of automation in the food industry has witnessed the
development of novel technologies that are proficient in providing end-to-end
automation for the production of certain processed foods.
Among the geographies, North
America region is expected to hold the largest share in the global food
robotics market as countries such as the U.S. and Canada are the front-runners
of the adoption of new technology. Further, the increasing number of prominent
manufacturers and the presence of well-established infrastructure facilities
are the prime growth drivers of the food robotics market in the North American
region. Furthermore, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market for food robotics over the projection period, as the consumer demands
for ready-to-eat products have augmented rapidly in the last decade. The key
Asia Pacific markets are Japan, China, India, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and
Indonesia.
