Robotics in Foodservice - Thematic Intelligence

This report explores the trends which are driving foodservice companies towards robotics - from demographic shifts to technological advancements. The report looks at several case studies from major foodservice brands who are using robotics at various stages in the supply chain, from food preparation, through to ordering to delivery bots that provide table service in full-service resturants. Worldwide, robotics can expect to see double-digit growth in the next ten years - lead by companies in Asia Pacific.

Economic, demograpic and technological conditions are rapidly aligning in such a way to make robotics in foodservice a reality in many parts of the world. The mega-trends of an aging population, shrinking workforces plus developments in Artificial Intelligence mean big brands are getting food service bots. Many already use robotics at some point in the supply chain. Robotics has a place in both quick-service restuarants in terms of the preparation of certain items and also in full-service dining resturants in terms of table service. Robotics will help those companies using this technology to free up labor force resources for creative innovation, meaning they are more likely to stay ahead in future.

Scope
The robotics industry is set to experience double-digit growt in the next ten years as the demographic, economic and technical conditions are aligning.
The technology providers are highly concentrated geographically - big initatives are required for European markets to catch up.
Bots have the potential to free up a limited labor-force for more creative tasks, meaning companies who invest in robotics have great potential to innovate.
Foodservice brands that adopt greater robotics implementation will be able to reach consumers via more channels.
