According to a new report by UnivDatos Market Insights, the Food Automation Market is expected to reach USD billion by 2032 by growing at a CAGR of ~7%.

Introduction

The food automation market is rapidly emerging all over the world due to the new technology in food processing, and higher demand for efficient and modern Food Processing Systems. Food automation is the broad area of food systems technology about the enhancement of the food production process and supply systems. Market trends show that consumers demand better quality products, and as food production establishments continue to face factors such as the scarcity of workers and high costs of production, automation is an ideal method of increasing production.

Market Overview

The food automation market is made of submarkets such as food processing automation, food packaging automation, and food supply chain automation. These segments harness technologies like robotic process automation, IoT, Artificial Intelligence or AI, and machine learning to cut costs, minimize or eliminate waste, and improve product quality. New sources show that the food automation market is anticipated to achieve key milestones through continued advancements in smart and automated manufacturing environments.

Key Drivers of Growth

There are several explanations for why the food automation market is advancing as follows. The first consideration is; the increasing necessity of guaranteeing food safety and quality. Automation enables the maximization of avoiding human error which makes it possible to meet the safety requirements of food products. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened the automation drive in the food industry as concerns the need to optimize and minimize dependence on employees in the event of a disruption.

Another factor that pushes producers is the consumer or rather increasing consumers’ desire for quicker delivery of foods. Due to the advancement in technology, firms find themselves cornered to use automation services, especially in e-commerce and food delivery services where customers demand quick services. Also, automation helps in the adaptation of better supply chain processes, inventory management, and food chain traceability.

Technological Advancements

In the industry, the competition and technological development is rather high with high revenue growth. Robots or automated systems are being included in production food production lines, to provide efficiency and accuracy. For instance, robotic arms are used in packaging, sorting, and palletizing to reduce on cost of employing people and enhance productivity.

Furthermore, the use of IoT as well as artificial intelligence is prevalent widely in the food industry. Such devices as IoT can be used to monitor the production processes which help in making better decisions and can help in anticipation of maintenance. Maximizing the inputs and outcomes of a company, the algorithms stabilize the production schedules, control inventory, and even predict customer preferences well enough to guide the stocking of the next lot.

Market Trends

The following are some of the trends, that are affecting the food automation business: One such trend is Sustainable and Waste Management has emerged as a top priority on one hand as a general business strategy and on the other hand as a social responsibility. Food manufacturers are thus in search of automated methods that reduce wastage while increasing energy conservation. Equipment including energy-saving equipment and waste disposal systems are growing to be standard features in food processing companies.

Another trend is emerging in the aspect of customized food production. To meet the consumers’ increasing requests for crafted food products, automation technologies are being created to achieve a high degree of customized production. This product differentiation facility ensures that food producers come up with many new products on the market without compromising on this aspect.

However, the insertion of blockchain technology in food automation is steadily progressing. Blockchain also brings about a high level of transparency in the supply chain so that consumer can be able to track their food products. This directly benefits the consumer due to the above reasons and overall, it shows that this transparency is a competitive advantage.

Challenges Facing the Market

However, there are quite some problems that affect the food automation market despite the promising growth rate. Relatively small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to afford the high costs of initial investment in automation technologies. Moreover, the essence of implementing new automation systems into ongoing flows remains a major concern for most food producers.

Moreover, the fast-changing technological environment implies that the existing technologies can become obsolete very quickly, and firms must ensure that they are aligned with the newest technologies. They have found that workforce displacement through automation constitutes another threat as the industry seeks to reallocate workers for the performance of new tasks in an intensified fully automated environment.

Conclusion

The global food automation market is on the cusp of a revolution due to advanced technologies, changes in customer preferences, and rising safety and effective measures concerns. The situation and possibilities for companies will remain to adapt and search for efficient solutions in the context of automation of the food industry concerning technologies usage beneficial for production, post-production, and distribution.

As for the plans, it is poised that the food automation market will sustain the growth trends over the years due to higher investments in robotics, IoT, and AI systems. The industry would have to be able to be innovative enough to capture the changing consumer habits while maintaining food safety and sustainability. Thus, the leading stakeholders of the market need to join hands and focus on the best utilization of the automation that is in the pipeline to ensure the food industry remains accommodative and agile adapting to the changing needs of the global customers.
