The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Food Automation was estimated to be worth US$ 23610 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 36960 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Food automation refers to the process of applying advanced automated technologies, equipment, and control systems (such as robots, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, sensors, and intelligent machinery) in all industrial chain links of food production, processing, packaging, warehousing, transportation, etc., to replace traditional manual operations. It aims to achieve intelligent, efficient, and precise operations in each link, thereby improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality stability, reducing labor costs, optimizing resource allocation, and meeting food safety and traceability requirements.
The degree of intelligence and automation continues to improve: With the development of science and technology, the automation transformation technology of food industry production lines will continue to maintain a rapid development trend. In the future, more companies will realize the intelligent and networked transformation of production lines. Through technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, intelligent monitoring, optimized scheduling, and fault prediction of production lines can be realized, and the operating efficiency and reliability of production lines can be improved. For example, food machinery collects production data in real time through sensors, and optimizes processing parameters with AI algorithms. For example, smart ovens can automatically adjust temperature and time to ensure stable baking quality.
Green and environmental protection have become an important direction: Against the background of increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, green and environmental protection have become key trends in the automation transformation of food industry production lines. Enterprises will adopt more energy-saving, emission-reducing, and environmentally friendly technologies and equipment in the production process to reduce the impact on the environment and achieve sustainable development. For example, using high-efficiency motors and optimizing transmission systems to reduce energy consumption, the energy saving rate of some equipment can be increased by more than 30%; using degradable packaging materials and easily recyclable equipment structures to reduce pollution, such as bio-based plastics for food packaging machinery.
Increasing demand for personalized customization: As consumers' personalized demand for food continues to grow, the food automation industry will also develop in the direction of personalized customization. Enterprises will develop more flexible production equipment, develop modular machinery for niche foods such as pre-prepared dishes and craft beer, and support rapid switching of processes to meet the needs of different consumers. At the same time, special machinery will be customized for traditional food producing areas such as Sichuan cuisine seasonings and Fujian tea, so as to increase production capacity while retaining the process characteristics.
Safety and hygiene standards will be improved: The food industry has extremely high requirements for safety and hygiene, and this standard will be fully upgraded in the future. Food-grade materials such as stainless steel and antibacterial coatings will be widely used on the contact surfaces of equipment to avoid contamination risks. At the same time, self-cleaning technologies such as integrated CIP (cleaning in place) systems will be more widely used to shorten disinfection downtime, such as one-click sterilization of dairy processing equipment.
Globalization and collaborative innovation of the industrial chain: On the one hand, food automation companies in China and other countries have accelerated their entry into international markets such as the "Belt and Road" with their cost-effective advantages, and the industry has a clear trend of globalization. On the other hand, the upstream and downstream industrial chains will strengthen collaborative innovation and combine with fields such as intelligent manufacturing and 3D printing. For example, CNC technology can improve the accuracy of food molds and promote the overall development of the industry.
