Robotics in Foodservice Thematic Overview
Technological, economic, and demographic conditions have prompted the growth of the robotics industry recently. Cloud computing and AI enable robots to collaborate and access huge amounts of data uninterruptedly and automation helps improve productivity. As a result, most of the large foodservice operators have implemented some level of robotics within their supply chains. The push towards greater adoption of robotic technology has been driven by the very largest consumer sector companies. The likes of McDonald’s, KFC, and Chipotle have heavily invested in robotic efficiency throughout their supply chains. For instance, McDonald’s has integrated robotic technology throughout its distribution network, consumer-facing order systems, and kitchens.
The Robotics in Foodservice thematic intelligence report assesses how robotics, combined with other emerging technologies, can be used across the foodservice value chain. It provides an overview of the current landscape, as well as key players, while also highlighting opportunities for the use of robotics in the future. The report provides an industry-specific analysis based on GlobalData databases and surveys.

Robotics in Foodservice - Value Chain Analysis
The robotics value chain consists of four segments: hardware components, software components, robot manufacturing, and robotics as a service.
Robot manufacturing: Industrial robots are typically housed in safety cages as they lack sensory intelligence, making them too dangerous to be placed near workers for fear of injury. China is the key growth driver for the industrial robot sector due to the accelerating automation in the Chinese manufacturing sector and the retooling of its automotive factories. Growth in the market is also driven by increasing demand for automation in industries other than automotive.
