COVID-19 outbreak jeopardizes food security and nutrition from a variety of perspectives, including food chain disruption, food shortages, reduced purchasing power, unhealthy eating habits, increased food loss, and an increase in unemployment and underemployment. Furthermore, the lack of socializing with friends, colleagues, parents, and others while eating has resulted in stress, anxiety, fear, anguish, and worry, which has exacerbated the negative effects of COVID-19 on the health status of all people, particularly vulnerable consumers such as the elderly and hospitalized patients. 3D food printing has unrivaled and unique potential, allowing for personalized food manufacture, social distancing, decentralization of food manufacturing, people participation in food co-creation, socializing the process, and creating new businesses and jobs. These new ideas should assist in considerably reducing the spread of COVID-19, as well as the threats to people’s health and negative consequences for food security and society.

To begin with, 3D food printing maintains social distancing as required by regulations in the food site area due to its nature as a computer-aided technology. When generating, sculpting, testing, validating, and manufacturing food products, 3D food printing may reduce the number of people touching food before consumption, as well as inter-human contact. Furthermore, 3D food printing significantly supports food decentralization, allowing for a reduction in the number of persons participating in the food chain and thus a reduction in food contact. Lean manufacturing and just-in-time production, distribution, and storage strategies have formulated a low-cost food system, but the unusual and widely dispersed stresses of the pandemic economy unfolded the inability of this kind of system to respond quickly to disruptions that are far outside the normal range.

Opportunities: Growth in demand from the hospitality industry

The hospitality industry has shown huge interest in 3D food printing technology. The capability of the 3D food printers to print food in various complex designs, which is not possible manually, has gained the attention of many famous chefs around the world. According to the companies offering 3D food printers, it would provide chefs an opportunity to present food with various complex designs, which was not possible through the traditional preparation methods. Although the idea of the companies offering 3D food printers to replace microwaves with 3D food printers for household uses is far from reality, the users are likely to prefer to have food in various designs sometimes for fun. Thus, the hospitality industry is expected to provide ample opportunities for the 3D food printing market.

Challenges: limitations in processing different ingredients hamper usage of 3D printers

Limited availability of food ingredients is the major challenge that 3D food printer companies face. The 3D food printer cannot be commercialized on a large scale due to the unavailability of all the necessary food ingredients. The big market players, such as Barilla (Italy) and Nestlé (Switzerland), associated with the food industry are working with 3D food printer manufacturing companies to develop ingredients of different nutrient composition for 3D food printers. This is not an easy task, as the companies have to extract polymers from the food items that need to be printed, which are not easy to extract and require extensive research in this area. Thus, although the companies seem positive and excited about this new technology of 3D food printing, the prospects of the market depend on how soon they come up with various options for consumers.

Different countries across the globe have different food cuisines, and consumers in these countries prefer different food products made up of different ingredients. 3D food printers are highly specific in terms of food processing, ingredients, and final products. This is a challenge for players in the market, as they need to develop 3D printers that cater to consumers’ needs in regions such as Asia and Africa. Similarly, there is also a need for the production and availability of ingredients that can be used to produce these different cuisines. Another similar challenge is that not every type of food can be food-printed. Food that is not strong enough to be filed is not appropriate for 3D printing. Food printers should go beyond the printing of shapes to printing food textures, both existing and new.
