India Food Robotics Market

India Food Robotics Market Overview:

The India food robotics market size reached USD 88.60 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 198.02 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.40% during 2025-2033. Rising demand for automation in food processing, increasing labor costs, growing focus on food safety and hygiene, expansion of quick-service restaurants, advancements in AI and robotics, increasing investments in smart kitchens, and the need for efficiency in food production are expanding the India food robotics market share.

India Food Robotics Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Automation in Food Processing

The India food robotics market growth is driven by the increasing adoption of automation in food processing. With rising labor costs and the need for consistent product quality, food manufacturers are integrating robotic solutions for packaging, sorting, and processing. The growing demand for ready-to-eat meals and packaged food is further driving the use of robotics in the industry. For instance, according to 2024 projections, the ready-to-eat (RTE) market in India is expected to grow by over 45% over the next five years, offering significant investment potential. By building a new plant at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport and hiring some 300 people, SATS Food Solutions India is taking advantage of this expansion. This establishment prioritizes automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) to guarantee uniformity in flavor and quality throughout its product line. Firms are investing in robotic arms, vision-guided technology, and automation with AI to increase efficiency.

Increasing Use of Collaborative Robots in Food Manufacturing

Collaborative robots, or cobots, are gaining traction in India’s food robotics market due to their ability to work alongside humans efficiently. These robots are being deployed in tasks such as ingredient handling, quality control, and secondary packaging. The demand for hygienic and contamination-free food processing is pushing manufacturers to integrate robotic systems with minimal human intervention. Notably, the study titled "Micro-and Nano-Plastics as Emerging Food Contaminants: Establishing Validated Methodologies and Understanding the Prevalence in Different Food Matrices" was initiated on August 18, 2024, by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to look into the contamination of the country's food supply with microplastics. The goal of this study, which was started in March 2024, is to create and test analytical techniques for identifying micro- and nano-plastics in a variety of food products, find out how common they are, and gauge consumer exposure levels. FSSAI plans to partner with top research institutions in the country to implement the project. The results should support global efforts to solve this environmental issue and guide regulatory responses, all of which are in line with sustainability goals. Cobots equipped with AI and machine learning are enhancing production accuracy while ensuring compliance with food safety regulations. The rise of quick-service restaurants and e-commerce food delivery platforms is further fueling the adoption of robotic solutions, improving supply chain efficiency and sustainability, which in positively impacting India food robotics market outlook.
