Kebab Production Equipment Market Report 2026

The kebab production equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.84 billion in 2025 to $0.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in quick service restaurants, increasing commercial kitchen automation, rising demand for kebabs in food service, adoption of semi-automatic and manual kebab machines, expansion of catering and hospitality sectors.

The kebab production equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.21 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising trend of fully automated kebab production systems, integration of robotics and AI in food processing, growth in large-scale food manufacturing, increasing online and direct sales channels, demand for energy-efficient and sustainable equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of automated kebab production lines, increasing demand for high-capacity industrial equipment, integration of smart sensors in kebab manufacturing, growing focus on hygiene and food safety compliance, expansion of customizable kebab production solutions.

The growing adoption of automation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the kebab production equipment market in the coming years. Automation refers to the use of technology to automatically control or operate equipment, processes, or systems, thereby reducing reliance on manual labor. The rise of automation is largely fueled by the demand for operational efficiency and productivity, as organizations deploy automated systems to minimize manual tasks, accelerate processing, maintain consistent quality, and lower operating costs. Automation benefits kebab production equipment by boosting production speed, ensuring uniform quality, and reducing manual effort in kebab preparation and cooking. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based international organization, reported that U.S. manufacturing companies have significantly increased automation initiatives, with total industrial robot installations rising 12% to 44,303 units in 2023. Consequently, the expanding adoption of automation is propelling the growth of the kebab production equipment market.

Key companies operating in the kebab production equipment market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as multi-burner kebab production equipment, to improve cooking efficiency, ensure even heat distribution, and enhance product quality. Multi-burner kebab production equipment refers to industrial grilling machines equipped with multiple burners, enabling the simultaneous cooking of large quantities of kebabs while maintaining uniform heat, higher production capacity, and greater operational efficiency in commercial food processing. For example, in June 2025, Mirzaee Hotel Equipment Group, an Iran-based luxury hotel, launched an 8-burner doner kebab grill designed for high-volume preparation of doner, shawarma, gyros, or similar meats, accommodating up to 130 kg on a rotating skewer powered by a bottom motor. Available in gas or electric versions, it features independently adjustable V-shaped burners (up to 32.5 kW or 12.8 kW), stainless steel construction, adjustable meat-to-burner distance, and safety features such as thermocouples and grease drawers, ensuring efficient and even cooking in busy kitchen environments.

In January 2025, John Bean Technologies Corporation, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Marel hf. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, John Bean Technologies Corporation sought to enhance its global food processing technology portfolio, expand automation capabilities, and strengthen its presence in protein processing equipment markets, including systems for large-scale kebab production. Marel hf. is an Iceland-based manufacturing company that provides kebab production equipment.
