The bakery processing equipment market is expected to register robust growth by 2027 on account of increasing integration of automation and robotics in the food processing sector.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in consumer interest in healthy and nutritious bakery products, such as wholegrain breads, multigrain baked goods, and other products with healthier ingredients. In addition, the lack of laborers due to pandemic-induced lockdown restrictions has spurred the adoption of automation and robotics in the food processing sector to accommodate mounting demand in the absence of factory staff.

Thus, the pandemic has accelerated the process of implementation of AI-based technologies in factories to improve production capacities, which has augmented product uptake in recent years. Additionally, growing emphasis on sustainable packaging and use of natural ingredients in baked products has propelled product demand.
