According to the report, the global food processing machinery automation market is projected to expand from USD 24.1 billion in 2025 to USD 45.1 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 6.5%, the highest during the forecast period. The global food processing machinery automation market is growing due to the rising demand for intelligent processing systems, food safety compliance, digitalized manufacturing processes, and higher production efficiency.
AI, automation and connected technologies are being adopted in food equipment manufacturers to boost productivity, minimize downtime, and deliver greater process consistency within food production facilities. For instance, in May 2026 Bühler Group launched advanced automation functions for its Nutrex 7 Series extrusion system, such as enhanced process stability, digital monitoring and advanced control functions for food and feed production applications. The increasing adoption of automation, digital platforms, and intelligent machinery is boosting efficiency, scalability, and competitiveness throughout the global food processing industry.
Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Food Processing Machinery Automation Market
The shortage of qualified personnel experienced by some food manufacturing companies is also limiting the smooth transition into the use of advanced food processing automation solutions. Businesses can experience greater training needs, a more complex operation, and a greater reliance on services with more advanced automation platforms.
The growing emphasis on resource optimization, energy reduction and waste minimization is providing opportunities for automation providers to develop sustainable processing technologies. Intelligent equipment with predictive maintenance, optimized production controls and efficient resource management capabilities is becoming a viable solution for food manufacturers looking to optimize their operations while increasing sustainability.
