Global Polyphenylsulfone Market: Overview
Polyphenylsulfone is a high performance thermoplastic, or a type of moldable plastic, typically used in various end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, household/food technology, and electrical & electronics. Chemically, polyphenylsulfone consists of aromatic rings linked by sulfone (SO2) groups and is produced by the condensation of 4,4′-bis(chlorophenyl)sulfone with various bisphenols such as 4,4′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfone. Polyphenylsulfone polymers offer better impact and chemical resistance and high tensile strength as compared to their counterparts such as polysulfone (PSU) and polyetherimide (PEI). Polyphenylsulfone also provide high heat resistance and excellent hydrolytic stability. They are widely utilized in various applications such as automotive & aircraft interior, medical devices, hot water fittings, sanitary & plumbing, dental & surgical instruments, and 3D printing devices.
Based on color, the global polyphenylsulfone market is segmented into opaque and transparent. The opaque segment is further split into grey, black, red, orange, yellow, green and others. The transparent segmented is further sub-segmented into blue and black. Rising demand for medical and dental cases, trays, lids, instruments, and devices is expected to fuel the demand for polyphenylsulfone. In terms of end-users, the market is segmented into medical, automotive, automobile, sanitary, and electrical. Currently, the medical & healthcare sector is the leading consumer for sulfone polymers, which in turn is boosting the polyphenylsulfone market. However, end-user applications such as filtration membrane and electrical sockets and trays in automotive and automobile sector expected to become attractive application segment during the forecast period.

Rising emphasis on reducing metal weight in order to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in automotive and aerospace sectors is a key driver for the polyphenylsulfone market. Potable water as well as sanitary & plumbing applications are some of the lucrative application segment of the market due to its extraordinary characteristic features such as outstanding biocompatibility, lack of toxicology concern in contact with drinking water, and resistance to hydrolysis and chlorine and calcium deposits. All these factors are driving the polyphenylsulfone market during the forecast period. Polyphenylsulfone is quite expensive as compared to other thermoplastics due to its high cost of production, which is anticipated to hamper the demand for polyphenylsulfone in the near future. However, rising demand for blended polymers with improved characteristic features is expected to provide lucrative opportunity to polyphenylsulfone manufacturers.
