Clean in Place Market Report 2026

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.
