According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global WFI Production System market size was valued at US$ 199 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 259 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.8% during review period.
The WFI production system, also known as a water for injection (WFI) system, is a critical component in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing that produces high-quality purified water that meets the stringent standards required for injectable drugs, sterile formulations, and other critical applications in the industry. WFI systems typically include processes such as reverse osmosis, distillation, and filtration to remove impurities and microorganisms, ensuring water purity and quality. This purified water is a key ingredient in drug formulations and is used for cleaning, sterilization, and a variety of other pharmaceutical processes.
Water for Injection (WFI) is considered a critical utility in the biopharm industry and is produced in bulk classifications described in detail within various Pharmacopeia, including the United States (USP), European (Ph. Eur.), Japanese (JP) and Chinese Pharmacopeias.
The quality specifications for WFI have long been harmonized across the United States, Europe, Japan, and China. The conductivity of WFI must be less than 1.3 microSiemens per centimeter (mS/cm) at 25 °C. All require bacterial levels to be less than 10 colony-forming units per 100 milliliters (cfu/100 mL) and endotoxin to be less than 0.25 international units (IU)/mL. Total organic carbon (TOC) must be less than 0.5 mg/L in all three compendia Europe and China require an additional maximum specification for nitrates of 0.2 ppm, which is not currently required by the United States and Japan.
WFI is used in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate parenteral drugs and for cleaning and other manufacturing operations. Because WFI can be incorporated into final drug formulations, the quality requirements are extremely high.
The most widely used WFI method is distillation; however, this method is highly capital intensive and incurs high energy costs for heating the water. To address these barriers, many pharmacopeias have allowed or are evaluating alternative technologies, and in the United States and Japan, pharmacopeia monographs have allowed other methods, as long as the same quality can be achieved. For example, reverse osmosis (RO) tend to have lower operating costs than distillation techniques, lower total capital costs, and require a smaller footprint in the facility. Following the publication of its new monograph on WFI in April 2017, the European Pharmacopoeia was brought in alignment. Reverse osmosis followed by a polishing step can be a more efficient and cost-effective solution for WFI production. However, in China, only distillation is currently allowed for the production of WFI.
