The global polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) market size was USD 1.4 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 2.9 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.5% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to high product consumption in the industrial sectors for superior heat and chemical resistance properties of polyphenylene sulfide.
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a thermoplastic material having an excellent combination of mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistance properties. PPS is known in industries as plastic with metal properties that are insoluble in solvents below 200°C (392°F). Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), is a widely used poly phenyl thioether also called poly para-phenylene sulfide.
PPS has an extremely high modulus and creep resistance. Compression molding is utilized for softening polyphenylene sulfide between a temperature range of 550 to 650 K. Polyphenylene sulfide has non-flammable, dielectric, and insulating properties with wide industrial applications of long-strand glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide PPS.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) market with decreased resin production with the shutting down of raw material supply chains.
