The conditions necessary to perform a Wittig reaction are suitable in a laboratory setting, but not on an industrial scale.
In medicine I would expect the Wittig reaction to be very useful in research laboratories where new molecules are being synthesized, but probably not so much when preparing large quantities for market.
