Overview


According to FutureWise analysis, the market for Pharmaceutical Water is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.90% over the forecast period 2023-2031, and reach a market value of US$ 11.50 billion by 2031.

Pharmaceutical water refers to the water used in the production of pharmaceutical products, as well as in various laboratory and manufacturing processes within the pharmaceutical industry. It is a critical component in the formulation and production of drugs, as water quality can directly impact the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. There are different grades of pharmaceutical water, each with specific quality standards and uses. Highly Purified Water (HPW) is a higher grade of water used in specific pharmaceutical processes where even higher purity levels are required. Water for Injection (WFI) is a higher quality water used to prepare parenteral (injectable) products. Compared to purified water, it must meet more stringent standards for bacterial endotoxins, conductivity, and total organic carbon (TOC).

Pharmaceutical water plays a critical role in various applications within the pharmaceutical industry. Firstly, it serves as a fundamental component in drug formulation processes. Drugs often require a water-based medium for dissolution, mixing, and stabilization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other excipients, whether in liquid or solid form. This ensures the final product's efficacy, safety, and quality. Furthermore, pharmaceutical water is indispensable in cleaning and purification procedures. It serves as a crucial agent in the cleaning of manufacturing equipment, ensuring that all surfaces and components involved in drug production remain free from contaminants or residues that could compromise the integrity of the final product. Also, in cell culture production, pharmaceutical-grade water is vital for creating a controlled and sterile environment for cell growth and proliferation. Maintaining optimal water quality ensures cells thrive and express their desired characteristics for various research and production purposes.

Recent Developments in Pharmaceutical Water Market:

  • In June 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Thermo Scientific Barnstead GenPure Pro UV-TOC Pharmaceutical-Grade Water Purification System designed for modern pharmaceutical manufacturing. The new system provides reliable TOC reduction.

The growing pharmaceutical industry is experiencing robust growth propelled by rising healthcare demands, driven partly by an aging population and breakthroughs in medical research and development. This surge in pharmaceutical production inherently increases the necessity for a reliable and high-quality water supply, as it is a critical component in various manufacturing processes. Water of exceptional purity is indispensable for formulating drugs, conducting research, and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards, solidifying its status as an indispensable driver of the pharmaceutical industry's expansion. In addition, stringent regulatory frameworks mandating seamless water quality in pharmaceutical operations influence the industry's growth. To ensure compliance, pharmaceutical enterprises must adhere to meticulously defined criteria for water purity. This imperative drives an increasing demand for advanced water treatment technologies, stimulating innovation and investment in advanced purification systems. This symbiotic relationship between regulatory stringency and technological advancement propels the pharmaceutical water market expansion, ensuring the production of safe, efficacious drugs that meet the highest quality standards. However, implementing refined water treatment systems necessitates a substantial initial expenditure, posing a formidable obstacle for smaller pharmaceutical enterprises and those in developing regions. This financial burden, associated with the ongoing operational expenses, presents a significant restraint. Also, maintaining and running these advanced systems incur substantial costs, including expenses related to energy usage, consumables, and the need for highly skilled personnel for their operation and maintenance. This cost-intensive nature may impede accessibility to advanced water treatment solutions, particularly for entities with limited financial resources. Thus, hindering the pharmaceutical market growth during the projection period.
