MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Food Production Automation: Food companies in Germany automate food production to increase productivity and address the shortage of skilled workers in response. Robots provide precision, speed, and consistency for the food industry. For example, in 2024, the sausage production line via Stäubli Robotics' TX200 HE robot was used. The robot was set to maintain hygiene standards, process 6000 kg of sausage for a shift, reduce food waste, and consume ingredients optimally plus work under other optimized conditions.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: AI and ML use transforms the German food production sector. Robots powered by these technologies can manage sorting, packaging, and quality control with improved data analysis. In 2024, Circus SE opened its CA-1 self-operating food production robot at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport which produces 2000 meals completely unmanned in an enclosed space. This technology reduces waste, increases efficiency, and automates complex tasks, which is making the self-operating food production robot market a rapidly growing industry.

Safety and Sanitation: The food industry requires high health and safety standards. Robots provide a solution to reduce human contact with food products, thus reducing the probability of contamination. Robots designed for use in sterile environments can sort, package and check quality. Stäubli Robotics' presentation at ANUGA FoodTec 2024 highlighted the advantages of its hygienic robots, which are used in primary and secondary food processing and packaged food production under strict hygiene standards. This is favorable for conditions leading to market growth.
