The global food robotics market was valued at USD 2047.3 million in 2022 and it is anticipated to grow further till USD 7505.1 million by 2032, at a CAGR of 13.9% during the forecast period.
Food robots do intricate production tasks such as dispensing, inserting feed, packaging and casing, picking and placing goods into containers, sorting raw materials, and labelling packages. They support the high-speed, repetitive, and laborious industrial processes needed in harsh environments like hot temperatures. Additionally, they reduce production costs, save time and space, and enhance the cleanliness, safety, and effectiveness of manufacturing processes. Leading companies in the global food and beverage (F&B) business are automating the manufacturing of food using food robots technology in order to mass-produce goods with excellent yields and precision.

Major Players in the Global Food Robotics Market
The key players studied in the report are among others.
COVID-19 Impact
Due to market closures and a decrease in labour, the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic had an effect on how people consumed food and beverage items. To create social distance, governments of many countries put restrictions on the industrial process, transportation, and raw material procurement. As a result, these limitations reduced the manufacturers' ability to produce food robotics in 2020, which in turn reduced market revenue overall. Over the following several years, the market is anticipated to revert to its prior growth path.
