The growth of e-commerce and online grocery platforms is expected to propel the smart food logistics market. These platforms allow consumers to purchase food online and have it delivered to their homes. The rise is driven by consumer demand for convenience, preferring quick doorstep delivery over in-store shopping. Smart food logistics support these platforms by improving storage, delivery routing, and cold-chain management, enabling faster, safer, and more cost-effective delivery of fresh products. For example, in August 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2025 rose by 5.3% compared to the same quarter in 2024. Therefore, rising e-commerce and online grocery platforms are driving smart food logistics market growth.

Major companies in the smart food logistics market are developing autonomous food delivery robots to accelerate last-mile delivery, reduce labor costs, minimize food spoilage through temperature-controlled routing, and scale on-demand fulfillment for e-commerce and grocery platforms.

For instance, in May 2025, Yango Group Ltd., a UAE-based technology services provider, launched a pilot program using AI-powered, fully electric delivery robots. The robots navigate Expo City, delivering meals from selected restaurants to users, independently planning routes, avoiding obstacles, and prioritizing pedestrian safety.
