Robot Kitchen Market Report 2026

The robot kitchen market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.64 billion in 2025 to $4.23 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early automation interest in food industry, rising demand for convenience cooking, increasing quick service restaurant modernization, technological experimentation in kitchens, initial adoption in premium dining setups.

The robot kitchen market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing interest in automated household kitchens, rising commercialization of robotic restaurants, increasing focus on operational efficiency in food services, expansion of smart homes, growing consumer acceptance of robotics in daily life. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of ai powered cooking robots, growing use of connected smart kitchen ecosystems, rising integration of advanced robotic automation, expansion of digitally controlled cooking platforms, strengthening focus on intelligent food preparation systems.

The anticipated surge in smart home adoption is poised to propel the expansion of the robot kitchen market in the foreseeable future. Smart homes, characterized by internet-enabled appliances and devices controllable remotely via networked devices, create an intelligent environment conducive to automated cooking and activity monitoring within robot kitchens. For instance, findings from a June 2023 survey conducted by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics based in South Korea, revealed that 86% of UK homebuyers would contemplate a smart home for their next property, willing to pay an additional $22,860 (£18,000) for it. Moreover, nearly 40% of Gen Z buyers express a preference for their next property to be a smart home. Consequently, the rising uptake of smart homes emerges as a key driver propelling the growth trajectory of the robot kitchen market.

Major players within the robot kitchen market are increasingly directing their efforts towards the development of robot-operated, AI-driven restaurants as a strategic approach to gain a competitive advantage. These establishments employ robotics and automation technologies to handle various kitchen tasks encompassing food preparation, cooking, serving, and cleaning. An exemplar of this trend occurred in November 2023 when Remy Robotics, a Spain-based AI company specializing in food service, introduced its automated cooking robots through the launch of a novel concept restaurant named Better Days in New York City. This restaurant leverages Remy Robotics' robotics platform to orchestrate its operations, featuring a menu focused on health-conscious offerings within a compact physical dining space. Better Days operates as a storefront devoid of human presence, with food preparation conducted off-site and assembly managed by robots on-site. The utilization of AI-powered machines enables the restaurant to consistently deliver a diverse menu of high-quality, nutritious food items at an affordable price point. Furthermore, the robotic kitchen functions sans traditional ventilation systems or human oversight, underscoring the industry's movement towards labor-saving technological advancements.

In August 2023, Circus, a food tech company based in Germany, acquired Aitme for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition's objective is to incorporate state-of-the-art kitchen robotics technology from Aitme into Circus's micro-kitchens, enhancing its AI-generated culinary selections, reducing cooking durations, and minimizing food wastage. This move seeks to broaden Circus's offerings and expedite its goal of offering fresh and diverse food options to a wider audience. Aitme, based in Germany, specializes in the development of fully automated robotic kitchens.
