Polyphenylene Sulfide Market size was valued at US$ 2.2 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 3.5 billion by 2032, growing at a significant CAGR of 6.5% from 2026-2032. An organic polymer made up of aromatic rings connected by sulphides is called polyphenylene sulphide. Textiles and synthetic fibre made with this polymer are resistant to heat and chemical damage. PPS is utilised in papermaking felts, electrical insulation, film capacitors, speciality membranes, gaskets, packings, and filter cloth for coal boilers. A conductive polymer belonging to the semi-flexible rod polymer family with PPS as its precursor. By using dopants or oxidation, the ordinarily insulating polyphenylene sulphide can be changed into a semiconducting state.

As sustainability becomes more and more of a global priority, producers are looking for materials that meet strict legal requirements and advance the overall goals of environmental conservation. Because of its remarkable qualities, PPS becomes an important option for manufacturers. Thus, in the years to come, these elements may fuel the need for PPS. Furthermore, engine fluids and environmental elements are among the many substances that automotive components frequently come into contact with. PPS is ideally suited for applications where it is frequently exposed to oils, fuels, and other vehicle fluids due to its strong chemical resistance. Therefore, these factors will support the polyphenylene sulphide market's growth.

Key Developments:

In January 2025, Envalior, a global supplier of sustainable and high-performance engineering materials, announced its investment in a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) compounding facility in Europe. Envalior’s PPS material, Xytron™, offers exceptional chemical and hydrolysis resistance, stable heat aging up to 240°C, excellent electrical properties, low moisture absorption, high dimensional stability, and inherent flame retardance meeting UL94 V0 standards.
In May 2025, Polyplastics, a global leader in engineering plastics, launched DURAFIDE? PPS 1140HS6, a next-generation polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) grade with enhanced thermal shock resistance. This 40% glass-filled material is designed for metal insert molding, particularly for electric vehicle (xEV) busbars, and can be easily recycled during post-consumer recycling (PCR) without sorting.
In October 2023, Solvay, a leading global supplier of specialty materials, introduced two new Ryton® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) grades Ryton® Supreme HV and HF. Designed to advance electrification, these high-performance materials enable shorter charging times and greater driving ranges, enhancing the efficiency and convenience of electric vehicles.
