This size range is ideal for creating a wide range of attractions while still being manageable and affordable for operators. However, the 10,001 to 20,000 Sq. Ft. segment is expected to attain the largest CAGR of 15.7% from 2024 to 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, as these facilities are large enough to offer diverse entertainment options but smaller and more cost-effective than larger acre-sized centers. As operators and consumers seek more efficient and innovative use of space, this size range becomes increasingly attractive for new developments and expansions, which drives the segment growth in the family/indoor entertainment center market.  

The families with children (9-12) segment is expected to witness rapid growth throughout the forecast period

By visitor demographics, the teenagers (12-18) segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to these centers offering activities and attractions that are particularly appealing to this age group, such as advanced gaming zones, challenging obstacle courses, and social spaces. Teenagers are often looking for exciting and engaging experiences, which drives their frequent visits and contributes to this segment’s strong market presence. However, the families with children (9-12) segment is expected to attain the largest CAGR of 14.5% from 2024 to 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to a rising focus on providing family-friendly environments that cater to younger children. This age group is particularly valuable as parents look for safe and fun places where their children can play and engage in activities. As the demand for age-appropriate and interactive experiences for kids in this range increases, more centers are tailoring their offerings to attract and retain this growing demographic, which drives the segment growth in the market.  

The food and beverages segment is expected to witness rapid growth throughout the forecast period

By revenue source, the entry fees and ticket sales segment accounted for more than one-third of the global FEC market share in 2023 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to these centers primarily generating revenue through admission fees. This model is straightforward and remains a steady source of income, as families pay to access the various attractions and activities available. However, the food and beverages segment is expected to attain the largest CAGR of 14.2% from 2024 to 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to increasing focus on enhancing the overall visitor experience by offering a variety of dining options. As families spend more time at these centers, they seek convenient and enjoyable food and drink options, leading to a rise in spending on concessions. This shift towards improved food and beverage services is driving rapid growth in this revenue segment, which drives the segment growth in the market.  

The Children’s Entertainment Centers (CECs) segment is expected to witness rapid growth throughout the forecast period

By type, the Children’s Entertainment Centers (CECs) segment accounted for more than one-third of the global market share in 2022 and is expected to rule the boost by 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to a wide range of popular activities such as play zones, games, and interactive experiences that attract large numbers of families. This focus on entertainment for kids drives substantial and consistent visitor traffic. However, the Location-based VR Entertainment Centers (LBECs) segment is expected to attain the largest CAGR of 15.7% from 2024 to 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to the increasing popularity and advancements in virtual reality technology. These centers offer immersive and cutting-edge experiences that are becoming highly sought after, especially as technology evolves and more people seek innovative and engaging forms of entertainment, which drives the segment growth in the FEC market.  

North America to maintain its dominance by 2033

By region, North America held the highest market share in terms of revenue accounting for more than one-fourth of the global market share in 202 3and is expected to dominate by 2033 owing to its well-established infrastructure and high demand for diverse and advanced entertainment options. The region has numerous large and popular centers that cater to families. However, the office suite segment is expected to attain the largest CAGR of 14.5% from 2024 to 2033 and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period, owing to rapid urbanization, increase in disposable incomes, and rise in the middle class in countries such as China and India. As more families in this region seek new and innovative entertainment experiences, the market for family/indoor entertainment centers is expanding quickly, which drives the growth in the FEC market.

Chef Robotics Physical AI Models Can Now Automate Baked Goods Packing

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chef Robotics, a leader in physical AI for the food industry, today announced that Chef robots can now automate tray assembly for baked goods packing. The application places baked products, such as burger buns, chocolate chip cookies, biscotti, butter cookies, biscuits, fortune cookies, granola bars, rusks, and shortbreads into trays and packaging containers before sealing.

Watch Chef robots in action.

Baked goods packing has historically been difficult to automate for high-mix production. Each item behaves differently on the production line—a granola bar compresses under the wrong grip, while a biscotti or rusk can crack if placed at the wrong angle. Surface textures range from glazed and smooth to crumbly and irregular, and strict presentation requirements leave little room for error. This variability has made it challenging for automation systems to reliably handle baked goods at production speeds, leaving food manufacturers dependent on manual labor and traditional bakery equipment.

To address this, Chef built its baked goods packing application on its existing piece-picking capability, which uses Chef’s AI-powered computer vision and physical AI models trained across diverse real-world production environments. This allows Chef robots to assess each item’s position, shape, and orientation in real time and determine how to pick the items from the pan and place them quickly and precisely without damaging them.

The baked goods packing application supports four distinct placement capabilities.

First, Chef’s vision system detects the angle at which each item sits in the pan and reorients it after picking, placing it on the tray at the exact angle required, regardless of its original position, enabling retail-ready presentation for SKUs that require precise angular placement.

Second, Chef robots can place multiple baked goods into the same packaging container in a single automated pass, completing full tray assembly without manual intervention.

Third, for packaging containers with multiple small compartments, Chef robots can precisely place items into each designated section, including multiple items in the same compartment, using Chef’s AI vision model to detect compartment positions and orientations in real time.

Fourth, Chef’s vision system identifies the exact center of each tray and places every item at a predefined offset from that center, ensuring a uniform, consistent arrangement across every pack regardless of how trays arrive on the conveyor.

For food manufacturers evaluating bakery systems and baked goods packaging automation, the application offers higher throughput, reduced labor dependency, and consistent presentation across shifts. The capability runs on Chef’s existing robotic hardware and software, allowing manufacturers to deploy it without requiring any changes to their production lines.

Chef’s baked goods packing application is available in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the UK and is included as part of Chef’s robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing model.
