- Food robotics, encompassing automated systems for tasks such as packaging, palletizing, and processing, are increasingly integral to the food and beverage industry due to their precision, speed, and ability to meet stringent hygiene standards in processed food applications
- The surge in demand for food robotics is driven by the need for operational efficiency, rising labor costs, and the growing trend of automation in food manufacturing, particularly in high-volume production environments
- Europe dominated the food robotics in processed food application market with the largest revenue share of 38.5% in 2024, driven by advanced manufacturing infrastructure, high adoption of automation technologies, and strong regulatory frameworks ensuring food safety. Germany and the U.K. are key contributors, with significant investments in robotic solutions by major food processing companies
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period, propelled by rapid industrialization, increasing demand for processed foods, and rising investments in automation in countries such as China, Japan, and India
- The articulated segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 42.3%, driven by its flexibility and ability to mimic human arm movements, making it ideal for complex tasks such as cutting, deboning, packaging, and palletizing in food processing. Its precision and versatility in confined spaces further bolster its dominance
