$2.4–2.65B today, heading to $8–11.5B by 2034 - and no vendor holds more than ~15%.

The numbers

Most incumbents were built for legal and compliance teams at large enterprises, with pricing and implementation cycles to match. That leaves the commercial, procurement, and operations teams in mid-market companies without a tool built for them.

“A fragmented market with no dominant player is exactly where a new format can become the standard.”

Where CIP fits

CIP is purpose-built for product commerce and priced for mid-market - from €10/month, with no implementation fees and no long-term lock-in. We’re not competing to manage documents better; we’re replacing the document.
