The market of commercial robots for restaurants in China has been growing fast in the past two years because of the demand for contactless food delivery and the rising labor cost in the country. The market scale in 2021 was US$84 million, registering year-on-year growth of 110.4%.
Companies such as Keenon Robotics, Pudu Robotics, Suzhou Pangolin Robot and OnionStar are major players in the Chinese market.
In the future, the industry will pursue further commercial operation, expand from dining usage and enter overseas markets.
