Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global SCARA robots market in the food and beverage industry to grow steadily at a CAGR of 25% during the forecast period. Regulations in the food and beverage industry are driving the adoption of robots in this industry. Ratings such as IP65 and IP67 are designed to benchmark the handling of food items (such as meat) by robots. These ratings signify that robots are fit enough to handle food materials and products directly. Products with different flavors and recipes in the food and beverage industry are manufactured in the same production area, and this requires constant monitoring and processing, necessitating the use of robots to avoid contamination and adulteration.
The success of a food and beverage unit depends on parallel processing, packaging, palletizing, and shipment of retail products with minimal lead time; this can be achieved with the implementation of robotics in the process lines. The implementation of application-specific robots has resulted in attaining the cost saving targets of the food and beverage industry market participants. For instance, in the FMCG market packaging sector, which forms the major share of the end product's cost, the employment of packaging robots end-users have attained reduction of wastage and have improved operational workflows.
APAC accounted for about half of the market share during 2015. The increase in the consumption of packaged and ready-to-eat food witnessed in the countries like China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia and South Korea has been driving the growth of the market in this region. The region is anticipated to retain its market leadership over the forecast period due to the replacement of manual labor robotics solutions for addressing food safety regulations.
Competition in the global SCARA robots market in the food and beverage industry has intensified due to the introduction of new and innovative products such as collaborative robots. Some vendors are focusing on providing end-to-end robotic solutions ranging from material handling to packaging to pick-and-place to palletizing and logistics, resulting in increased competition among vendors. Several vendors are developing innovative technologies using cloud and other IoT services to provide support services and superior quality robots. Local vendors are striving to remain competitive in the market, but established international vendors lead the market in terms of quality, durability, reliability, and technological innovations.
The leading vendors in the market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include ABB, Denso Wave, Kawasaki Robotics, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, ST Robotics, and Yaskawa Electric.
