The growing trend of kitchen remodeling is expected to drive the expansion of the kitchen robotics and automation market in the future. Kitchen remodeling involves renovating and upgrading kitchen spaces, including improvements to appliances, cabinets, countertops, and other features to enhance functionality. The rise in kitchen remodeling activities is fueled by homeowners' desire for modern, efficient spaces and the influence of home improvement shows, which encourage renovations. Kitchen robotics and automation in remodeling help improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and offer advanced features, making modern kitchens more user-friendly and innovative. For example, in March 2023, Houzz, a US-based home remodeling and design platform, reported that kitchen remodels were the most popular home improvement project in 2022, with 28% of homeowners upgrading their kitchens, an increase from 27% in 2021. Moreover, about 36% of recent homebuyers engaged in kitchen renovations. The median cost for both large and small kitchen renovations rose by $5,000, from $15,000 in 2021 to $20,000 in 2022. As a result, the increase in kitchen remodeling activities is fueling the growth of the kitchen robotics and automation market.

Key players in the kitchen robotics and automation market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as robotic kitchen systems to boost operational efficiency, cut labor costs, maintain consistent food quality, and improve workplace safety in the food service industry.
