Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a thermoplastic polymer known for its heat and chemical resistance properties. It is used as an alternative to metals in applications where resistance to corrosion and high temperatures are required. PPS finds application in automotive components, electrical & electronics, industrial components, and filtration applications owing to its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. The global Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.3 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Growing applications of PPS in the electrical and electronics industry has been a key trend driving the demand. PPS has emerged as a preferred polymer over metals in applications involving high temperatures or stress such as electrical connectors, switches, connectors, semiconductors, magnetic components among others owing to its light weight and resistance to heat, chemicals and moisture. PPS exhibits very high dimensional stability and melt creep resistance making it suitable for applications in high-voltage switching devices and connectors that carry high currents and operate at elevated temperatures. This trend has significantly boosted the consumption of PPS resin in the electrical and electronics industry over the past few years.
SWOT Analysis
