Global Polyphenylene Sulfide Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global polyphenylene sulfide market

According to Technavio’s analysts, the global polyphenylene sulfide market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR of close to 10% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for PPS filter bags in power plants will drive the growth prospects for the global polyphenylene sulfide market until the end of 2021. The governments of many countries have mandated the usage of filter bags in power plants to reduce the harmful effects of greenhouse gases and control their emission. As a result, the demand for PPS increases as it is used in the filters required in coal-fired power plants and dust chamber filters in incinerators. Also, since PPS polymers have cost advantages over PTFE, polyamides, and aramid, they are increasingly preferred over other fibers. Furthermore, it has been observed that PPS filter bags have a longer service life in comparison to glass fiber filter bags.

The growing focus on the production of bio-based engineering plastics will drive the growth prospects for the global polyphenylene sulfide market for the next four years. Several key players are adopting bio-based plastics to minimize the harmful effects of plastics on the environment, which will accelerate the rate of revenue generation in the global polyphenylene sulfide market. Evonik already provides bio-based polyamides under the brand name Vestamid Terra.
