Clean in Place (CIP) Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Commissioning Type (Single Tank, Multi Tank, and Others (Dual Operating)), By Movement Type (Mobile CIP System and Centralized CIP System), By End Use (Food & Dairy, Beverages, Brewery, Pharmaceutical and Drug, Chemical, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Cleaning-in-place systems are the modern process plant cleaning technology developed to mechanically clean or remove residues from processing units, fittings, tanks, and piping circuits. The cleaning in the process plants is carried out in two ways. The traditional manual cleaning has potential human risks and demands resources. At the same time, automated cleaning systems provide the flexibility of carrying out the whole cleaning process automatically quickly, efficiently, and consistently.

The global CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) tank market is witnessing considerable expansion due to automation, strict regulations, and growing awareness about cleanliness across different sectors worldwide. Industries where hygiene is crucial, such as the food & beverage, pharmaceuticals or dairy sectors, use them for sterilizing equipment. In addition, this allows quick cleaning without machine dismantling, saving time and increasing productivity.

The COVID-19 pandemic upheld the significance of sanitation and hygiene, leading to an elevated need for CIP systems. During this time, certain industries boomed to meet the consumer demand as people stayed at home owing to social distancing norms. For instance, pharmaceutical or food production companies had to ensure that they produced a lot more than before. Therefore, there was a need for advanced CIP systems that could help them achieve their goals effectively while maintaining high levels of cleanliness all through the process even though it meant slowing down a little. Initially, supply chain disruptions and manufacturing plants were greatly affected but eventually everything went back to normal with much emphasis being put on general clean-up, favoring CIP tank market.

Impact of Generative AI on the CIP Tank Market

Industries rapidly adopt AI disruptors to keep up with technological advancements and unlock exponential business value. According to industry experts, generative AI has emerged as one of the most influential technology trends in 2022. Nearly 40% of companies plan to increase their AI investments in the coming years, largely due to the potential of generative AI.

Moreover, AI integration into automation systems offers capabilities such as optimization of cleaning processes and reduction in processing time. The technology analyzes the process line with advanced line view systems that monitor the clean-in processes with dashboards designed to identify improvement opportunities. The integration of technology into systems enables overall equipment efficiencies (OEE) with potential savings..

Segmentation

Analysis By Commissioning Type

By commissioning type, CIP systems are classified into single tank, multi tank, and others (dual operating).

Single tank CIP systems are the most common systems used across micros and small processing cleaning operations, where cleaning is carried out in a single process and not as a repetitive process due to fewer production operations. The systems offer more flexibility and mobility to carry out cleaning anywhere at any time. Two tank cleaning offers lesser complexity as it can handle prefilling and pre-heating operations at the same time, requiring lesser operation cost and time.

Furthermore, multi tank systems can be designed as per the user requirement with a decrease in operational cost and maximized productivity through automation. Dual operating offers to use tanks for the process cleaning of different lines at the same time which offers higher flexibility to clean through water, caustic soda, acid, and other chemical agents.

Regional Analysis

The global CIP tank market has been studied across five regions: North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.

CIP tanks are mainly used in North America due to the presence of well-established food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, there is a demand for advanced CIP systems owing to the enforcement of strict regulations such as those set by the FDA. Moreover, the growth of the CIP tank market in this region also depends on its inclination toward technological innovation and automation.

Europe also stands out as another key player when it comes to CIP tanks. This region puts more emphasis on cleanliness and quality standards in different industries compared to other regions. The adoption of these systems is further propelled by regulatory requirements established by the European Union coupled with a strong food and beverage sector within its borders. Furthermore, leading pharmaceutical companies, based mainly in Germany and Switzerland, among others, provide a fertile ground for industry expansion.

The demand for CIP tanks has been growing at an accelerated pace in Asia Pacific countries, including China and India, owing to their flourishing pharmaceuticals sector alongside agro-processing industries. Manufacturers across these sectors daily produce a variety of products for human consumption due to increased urbanization combined with rising incomes. This creates more appetite toward processed foods and drugs, necessitating the greater use of such facilities.
