Rising Adoption of Automation in Food & Beverage Industry to Fuel Growth of Industrial Automation Market During Forecast Period

Automation in the food & beverages industry refers to strategic integrations of technologies across various production processes, such as inspection, packaging, and storage. Over the years, food & beverages companies have optimized different production processes through the uptake of automated systems, such as delta robots, automated guided vehicles, and robotic arms, to be in line with various food safety & quality standards laid down by regulatory bodies and reduce overall labor cost across production sites.

Consumer-packed food & beverages require high accuracy and repetitive packaging process, which becomes challenging for humans. This factor is influencing the uptake of robotic technologies for activities, such as primary and secondary packaging and palletizing. Vision-guided robots are experiencing a rise in demand across the sector due to their efficiency in completing repetitive tasks, such as bottle handling, bin picking, and tray loading. Numerous benefits, including enhanced traceability, improved efficiency, and high flexibility, have been driving the need for automation in the food & beverages industry over the years. These factors have encouraged food & beverage producers to invest heavily in automated technology integration across their production facilities. For instance, a US-based snack brand, Utz Brands Inc., announced its plans to integrate automated capabilities across its production plants to reduce its overall operational cost in 2021. Similarly, Hormel Foods is also planning to incorporate automation across its production facilities in 2022. Other food & beverages brands rapidly adopting automated technology include Tyson Foods and Cargill, Inc. Thus, the rise in investment in automation across the food & beverages industry is fueling the growth of the industrial automation market.
