简介目录

2024年全球PPS市场规模为17亿美元,预估至2032年将超过32亿美元,预测期间内复合年增长率为6.6%。 PPS凭藉其卓越的性能,加上配方和製造流程的创新,将成为下一代工业应用的战略材料。

聚苯硫(PPS) 是一种高性能热塑性塑料,凭藉其独特的耐化学性、热稳定性和机械强度而声名大噪。 PPS 由雪佛龙菲利普斯公司于 20 世纪 70 年代初实现商业化,现已广泛应用于各行各业,尤其是在汽车和电气/电子领域,这些行业的先进材料性能至关重要。作为一种用途广泛的工程塑料,PPS 的性能和成本均优于聚醚醚酮 (PEEK) 和聚醚酰亚胺 (PEI) 等替代材料,因此在全球各个市场的需求持续增长。

市场动态与驱动因素

PPS 市场成长的主要驱动力在于其在汽车和电子电气领域的快速应用,使其成为金属和传统塑胶日益宝贵的替代品。在汽车製造业中,PPS 用于製造高性能引擎盖下零件,这些零件的耐热、耐摩擦和耐化学性是关键考虑因素。随着汽车製造商推行轻量化策略以满足燃油经济性和排放目标,PPS 已成为关键的推动因素,使其能够在不影响耐用性和安全性的情况下取代金属零件。

另一个重要的终端应用领域是电气和电子产业,将PPS应用于连接器、开关、绝缘元件以及其他需要精密成型、耐高温和腐蚀环境的零件。滤材是另一个关键应用,目前约占全球PPS消费量的18%,复合年增长率高达8%。航太和国防领域新兴的机会需要轻质且高弹性的材料,预计将进一步推动PPS的需求;预计到2032年,该领域将占据13%的市场份额。

虽然 PEEK 和 PEI 在某些指标上表现出色,但 PPS 仍然是一种经济高效的选择,尤其在价格敏感的行业中,它常被称为「大众的 PEEK」。该聚合物可射出成型,并可添加 30-60% 的填料,使其在各种工业应用中更加灵活。

考虑当地需求

就需求而言,亚太地区将在2024年成为PPS的最大消费地区,占全球消费量的75%以上,其中中国就占40%以上。该地区的领先地位得益于其庞大的汽车和电子产品製造基础,以及持续的基础设施投资和有利的政策支持。预计2032年,中国市场将维持7%的复合年增长率。

西欧凭藉其强大的汽车和工业基础,在聚苯硫醚(PPS)需求方面排名第二。紧随其后的是北美,这得益于汽车、航太和工业加工产业持续的需求。同时,中欧和东欧、拉丁美洲以及中东和非洲的市场占有率较小,但随着工业化和基础设施建设的持续推进,这些新兴地区提供了潜在的成长机会。

用途细分与需求趋势

到2024年,汽车产业将占据全球PPS需求的最大份额,达到40%以上,这主要得益于引擎零件、煞车系统、冷却零件和动力传动系统应用。随着电动车(EV)市场占有率的持续成长,PPS在电动车电池组件、充电连接器和轻量化结构件中的应用也在不断增长。

电气和电子产业也紧随其后,PPS 被用于开关、插座、继电器、骨架和其他热性能要求严格的应用。 PPS 的阻燃性和高介电性能使其成为现代电子系统(包括 5G、物联网和消费性电子产品)的理想选择。

PPS 在工业滤材中也被广泛应用,帮助发电厂、水泥厂、废弃物焚化炉等在恶劣的化学和热环境中运作。航太和国防目前是一个较小的行业,但由于对先进轻质复合材料的需求,预计将快速成长。

本报告对全球聚苯硫(PPS) 市场进行了深入分析,包括市场动态、行业趋势、细分需求和製造商概况。

简介目录

The global PPS market was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to surpass USD 3.2 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. Its robust performance, coupled with innovation in compounding and manufacturing, positions PPS as a strategic material for next-generation industrial applications.

Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a high-performance thermoplastic that has steadily risen to prominence due to its unique combination of chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. Commercialized in the early 1970s by Chevron Phillips, PPS is now widely adopted in diverse industries, especially automotive and electrical & electronics, where advanced material properties are critical. As a versatile engineering plastic that offers both performance and cost advantages compared to alternatives like Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) or Polyetherimide (PEI), PPS continues to capture growing demand in various global markets.

PPS is primarily produced using para-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) and sodium hydrosulfide, both of which carry environmental concerns related to toxicity and groundwater contamination. The chemical-intensive manufacturing process has led to scrutiny, especially in North America and Europe, where regulatory pressures are tightening. For instance, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has listed several legacy chlorinated solvent sites under Superfund designation, allocating multimillion-dollar clean-up budgets.

Market Dynamics and Key Drivers

The primary driver of PPS market growth is its rapid adoption in the automotive and electrical & electronics sectors, where its ability to replace metals and conventional plastics proves increasingly valuable. In automotive manufacturing, PPS is used in high-performance under-the-hood components, where heat, friction, and chemical exposure are significant concerns. As vehicle manufacturers pursue lightweighting initiatives to meet fuel economy and emissions targets, PPS has emerged as a critical enabler for replacing metal components, without compromising durability or safety.

The electrical and electronics industry, another key end-use segment, leverages PPS for components like connectors, switches, and insulation elements that require precision molding and resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments. Filter media, another important application, currently accounts for approximately 18% of global PPS consumption and is growing at a notable CAGR of 8%. The emerging opportunities in aerospace and defense, which demand lightweight yet resilient materials, are expected to push PPS demand further, with projections estimating this segment to reach 13% of the market by 2032.

While PEEK and PEI offer superior performance on certain metrics, PPS remains a more cost-effective option, often dubbed the "common man's PEEK," particularly in price-sensitive industries. The polymer's ability to be injection molded and compounded with fillers between 30-60% further enhances its usability across various industrial applications.

Key Competitors

As of 2024, global PPS production capacity stands at around 163 kilo tons and is forecasted to exceed 200 kilo tons by 2032. The market is dominated by several key players including Toray Industries, DIC Corporation, Solvay SA, Fortron Industries, Kureha Corporation, Tosoh Corporation, Lion Idemitsu Composites, and SK Chemicals. Toray Industries leads the global PPS market with an 18% share of installed capacity, followed by DIC Corporation at 15%.

Asia-Pacific emerges as the world's largest PPS producer, accounting for three-fourths of global capacity in 2024. The region's dominance is expected to grow further with new capacity additions, particularly in China, Japan, and South Korea. Toray Industries has announced expansions at its Gunsan facility in South Korea and Iwaki plant in Japan, which will bring its total PPS capacity to 32.6 kilo tons globally. These expansions, slated for completion by 2025, are designed to address the rising demand in automotive and electronics, especially in Asia's fast-growing economies.

Regional Demand Insights

In terms of demand, Asia-Pacific was the largest consumer of PPS in 2024, accounting for over 75% of global consumption, with China alone contributing more than 40%. The region's leadership stems from its vast manufacturing base in automotive and electronics, as well as continued infrastructure investments and favorable policy support. The Chinese market is projected to maintain an average annual growth rate of 7% through 2032.

Western Europe ranks second in PPS demand, driven by its strong automotive and industrial base. North America follows closely, supported by ongoing demand in automotive, aerospace, and industrial processing sectors. Meanwhile, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa collectively account for a smaller market share but present potential growth opportunities as industrialization and infrastructure development continue in these emerging regions.

Application Breakdown and Demand Trends

In 2024, the automotive sector held the largest share of global PPS demand at over 40%, due to its use in engine parts, brake systems, cooling components, and powertrain applications. As electric vehicles (EVs) continue gaining market share, PPS use in EV battery components, charging connectors, and lightweight structural parts is also growing.

The electrical & electronics sector follows closely, with PPS used in switches, sockets, relays, bobbins, and other thermally critical applications. Its flame retardant and high dielectric properties make it ideal for modern electronic systems, including those in 5G, IoT, and consumer electronics.

PPS also finds significant application in industrial filter media, where it supports operations in harsh chemical and thermal environments such as power plants, cement factories, and waste incinerators. Aerospace & defense, though a smaller segment currently, is forecasted to grow rapidly, driven by demand for advanced lightweight composites.
