Request Covid - 19 Impact

Automation in food processing refers to the use of technology and media and machinery to automate various stages of food production, including harvesting, smart packaging, and distribution. This can include the use of robots, automated conveyor systems, and computer-controlled equipment. Automation can increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve product consistency. However, it can also lead to job loss in the food processing industry.

Product Overview:

Automation in food processing techniques is used by the food processing industry in order to avoid tedious tasks and improve quality control, productivity, and decrease the possibility of accidents. For instance, according to a survey published by Health and Safety Executive UK, in 2017–18, approximately 1.4 Mn working staff suffered from any kind of illness, which may have been caused or made worse by the work environment or nature of work, and around 555,000 workers sustained non-fatal injuries at work. The most difficult tasks involved in food industry is the manufacturing process of the product, which can be efficiently operated by automated machinery while maintaining high hygiene standards, accuracy and minimal or no damage. The automation in food processing industry is beneficial in food manufacturing as it increases productivity, improves the optimum utilization of raw materials, enhances labor safety, and reduces overall production costs.

Dynamics: Driving and Restraining Factors

Increasing demand for advanced food processing techniques from the food processing industry owing to its benefits such as reduced dependency on human labor, improve food quality standards, and increase production of food manufacturing is one of the key factors expected to drive the growth of the global automation in food processing techniques market. In addition, food automation helps to do proper mixing of raw ingredients without the help of human forces, help to maintain standard protocol, offers remote monitoring, ensures labor safety, reduce complication of food production, and maintain cleanliness. These are some other major factors estimated to drive the growth of global the automation in food processing techniques market.  Moreover, with growing demand for various processed food products in the recent past such as chocolates, candies, fruits and vegetables, snacks, and ready-to-cook products including meat, seafood, bakery products, frozen food, etc., increasing adoption of automated machinery has significantly reduced the processing time and has helped to produce quality food products with hygiene. This, in turn, is excepted to support the growth of global automation in food processing techniques market.
