Ultra Pure Water Market Report 2026

The ultra pure water market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.52 billion in 2025 to $12.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of semiconductor fabrication plants, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, increasing electronics production, rising industrial water purification needs, availability of advanced water treatment equipment.

The ultra pure water market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in chip manufacturing capacity, rising biologics production, increasing investment in cleanroom facilities, stricter water purity standards, technological advancements in water purification. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand from semiconductor manufacturing, increasing use in pharmaceutical production, growing adoption of advanced filtration technologies, expansion of ultrapure water systems in electronics, rising focus on water quality consistency.

The increasing use of ultrapure water in the semiconductor manufacturing industry is driving the growth of the ultrapure water market. The semiconductor manufacturing industry consists of companies involved in producing semiconductors, where electronic devices are assembled through nanofabrication processes performed on substrates made from highly pure single-crystal silicon. Ultrapure water is essential at every stage of semiconductor manufacturing, requiring advanced treatment processes and technologies to remove pollutants, minerals, microbes, and trace organic and inorganic compounds from intake water. For example, in July 2024, a report published by the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based organization, stated that producing ultrapure water requires about 1,400 to 1,600 gallons of municipal water to generate 1,000 gallons of ultrapure water. Additionally, an average chip manufacturing facility can use up to 10 million gallons of ultrapure water per day, equivalent to the daily water consumption of 33,000 U.S. households. Therefore, the increasing reliance on ultrapure water in semiconductor manufacturing is driving the growth of the ultrapure water market.

Major companies in the ultrapure water market are introducing innovative solutions such as centralized laboratory water purification systems designed to meet diverse laboratory needs and integrate multiple water treatment technologies. A centralized laboratory water purification system is an efficient and cost-effective setup that provides high-purity, laboratory-grade water (Types I, II, and III) to multiple applications within a facility. For example, in January 2023, Envirogen Group, a UK-based industrial engineering company, launched LabPure, a centralized and energy-efficient ultrapure water purification system designed for laboratories requiring Type I ultrapure water. The system uses chemical-free RO-EDI technology and delivers flow rates ranging from 150 to 1,000 liters per hour. It adheres to regulatory and design standards and can be configured to meet specific laboratory requirements, optimizing energy use and space efficiency.

In January 2023, MECO Inc., a U.S.-based water purification solutions company, acquired Water Works for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances MECO’s ultrapure water treatment portfolio for life science and biopharmaceutical customers. Water Works is a U.S.-based manufacturer of water features, stormwater solutions, sanitary sewer systems, and erosion control products, including ultrapure water systems.
