Digitalisation in Food Manufacturing: AI & Automation Drive India's Food Processing Revolution
Food & Beverages Processing
|April 2025
The food processing industry in India is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rapid adoption of digitalisation and automation.
-
The Food Processing Automation Market is projected to grow from USD 27.00 billion in 2025 to USD 38.58 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.4%, signifying the increasing reliance on smart technologies to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
The Rise of Automation & Robotics in Food Processing
Automation and robotics are revolution-izing F&B manufacturing by streamlining operations, reducing labor costs, and ensuring product safety. AI-powered robotic arms are now handling complex tasks such as packaging, sorting, and quality control. Advanced automated monitoring systems track environmental conditions in real-time to maintain product integrity. One notable example is Chipotle Mexican Grill's 'Auto-cado', an avocado-processing robot that cuts, cores, and peels avocados in just 26 seconds, significantly improving guacamole production efficiency. Such innovations underscore the transformative impact of automation in modern food manufacturing.
Sustainable Digital Solutions for Food Manufacturing
Digitalisation is also driving sustainability in food processing through innovative solutions such as:
- Water-efficient Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems that reduce resource consumption.
- Biodegradable packaging materials to minimize environmental impact.
- Renewable energy-powered production facilities, aligning with global sustainability goals.
