Clean In Place Global Market Report 2026

Clean-In-Place (CIP) is an automated cleaning process designed to circulate cleaning and sanitizing solutions through process systems such as tanks, pipes, and associated equipment, all without requiring disassembly. This method consists of several sequential steps, pre-wash, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash, final rinse, and optionally, a sanitizing rinse. Its purpose is to effectively eliminate product residues, scale, and microorganisms from the system.

There are two main types of CIP systems single-use and reuse. Single-use CIP systems dispose of all cleaning liquids after a single cycle rather than storing them for reuse. These systems can be categorized into batch, semi-continuous, and continuous types. Detergents used in these systems include acids and alkalis. CIP finds applications across various industries such as food and beverage, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the clean-in-place market by increasing the cost of imported pumps, valves, sensors, stainless steel piping, and automation components used in CIP systems. Food and beverage and pharmaceutical facilities in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-grade equipment, while developing regions face higher system installation costs. These tariffs are raising capital investment requirements and slowing system upgrades. However, they are also encouraging local system integration, development of standardized CIP modules, and innovation in cost-efficient cleaning technologies that reduce long-term operational expenses.

The clean in place market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $21.8 billion in 2025 to $25.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of food and beverage processing plants, increased regulatory focus on hygiene standards, rising pharmaceutical manufacturing activity, availability of automated cleaning technologies, growth of large-scale processing facilities.

The clean in place market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart manufacturing practices, rising demand for sustainable cleaning processes, expansion of biopharmaceutical production, growing use of data-driven sanitation monitoring, tightening global safety regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of automated cleaning validation systems, increasing adoption of closed-loop cip systems, rising demand for water and chemical efficiency, expansion of single-use cip applications, enhanced focus on hygiene compliance.

The expanding food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the clean-in-place market in the coming years. This industry encompasses all companies engaged in processing, packaging, and distributing raw food materials, including meats, cheeses, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, packaged foods, and other processed foods. Growth in the food and beverage sector is fueled by rising consumer demand for convenience, health-focused products, and transparency in sourcing and manufacturing. The increasing consumption of processed foods, dairy products, and beverages has encouraged the adoption of Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems to maintain hygiene, prevent contamination, and ensure product quality and safety. For example, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, in 2024, U.S. consumers, businesses, and government entities spent a total of $2.58 trillion on food, up from $2.48 trillion in 2023, indicating nominal growth. This rising activity in the food and beverage sector is therefore supporting the growth of the clean-in-place market.

Key players in the clean-in-place market are focusing on technological innovations, such as factory sustainable solutions, to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact by minimizing water and chemical usage, decreasing downtime, and enhancing operational sustainability. Factory sustainable solutions assist food and beverage manufacturers in optimizing their CIP processes, resulting in substantial reductions in water, energy, and chemical consumption. For instance, in May 2024, Tetra Pak International, a Switzerland-based multinational food packaging and processing company, introduced its factory sustainable solutions offering, a comprehensive approach to energy, water, and cleaning-in-place (CIP) optimization. This solution is designed to help food and beverage producers cut energy and water use, meet sustainability targets, and reduce operational costs.

In July 2023, Solenis, a U.S.-based provider of water treatment chemistries, process aids, functional additives, cleaners, disinfectants, and monitoring/control systems, acquired Diversey for US$4.6 billion. Through this acquisition, Solenis aimed to expand its global presence and enhance its service portfolio, offering a combined "one-stop shop" of solutions covering water management, cleaning, and hygiene, thereby increasing scale, reach, and cross-selling opportunities. Diversey is a U.S.-based provider of clean-in-place (CIP) solutions.
