These advancements in the market are expected to aid the market growth opportunities in the future.
• China is expected to be the largest market for polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites in the Asia-Pacific region.

Asia-Pacific PPS Composite Industry Segmentation

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that consists of multiple aromatic rings of p-substituted benzene and sulfur. It is widely used in felt filter media for high-temperature air filters, coil formers, bobbins, slurry coatings, terminal blocks, relay components, specialty membranes, and packaging. PPS exhibits various advantageous properties, such as high chemical and abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical strength. It is also lightweight and includes a high melting point and low viscosity index that assists it in being molded into the desired shapes. As a result, PPS finds extensive application across various industries, such as aerospace, medical, automotive, electrical, and electronics.
