The global Polysuccinimide (PSI) Market demonstrates steady growth, valued at USD 103 million in 2024 with projections indicating USD 151 million by 2032, supported by a CAGR of 4.5%. This expansion is primarily driven by increasing adoption in water treatment and agriculture sectors, where its biodegradable properties and chemical stability offer sustainable alternatives to conventional materials. Emerging environmental regulations worldwide further accelerate demand for PSI-based solutions.
Polysuccinimide serves as a key intermediate for polyaspartic acid production, gaining traction across industries prioritizing eco-friendly chemistries. With hydrolysis converting PSI to PASP—a high-performance biodegradable polymer—manufacturers are scaling production capacities to meet rising demand from water treatment plants and precision agriculture applications.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands over 45% of global PSI consumption, with China’s robust chemical manufacturing infrastructure and Japan’s advanced material science sector fueling regional dominance. Government initiatives promoting green chemicals in India and Southeast Asian countries create additional growth avenues, though raw material price volatility poses challenges for local producers.
North America follows closely, where stringent EPA guidelines on water treatment chemicals and significant agricultural R&D expenditure drive PSI adoption. Europe’s market growth aligns with the EU Green Deal framework, particularly in biogas purification and controlled-release fertilizer applications. Meanwhile, Latin America and Africa show nascent but promising demand, particularly in mining wastewater treatment applications.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The shift toward biodegradable scale inhibitors in industrial water systems represents the largest application segment, accounting for 58% of current PSI demand. Agriculture constitutes 32% market share, where PSI-derived polyaspartates improve nutrient absorption in crops while reducing chemical runoff. Emerging applications in oilfield chemicals and pharmaceutical coatings present additional growth avenues, with pilot projects demonstrating 20-30% efficiency gains over traditional additives.
Technological advancements in succinic acid fermentation—the primary PSI feedstock—could substantially reduce production costs. Major producers are investing in bio-based synthesis routes to capitalize on circular economy trends, with some pilot plants already achieving 98% atom efficiency in PSI polymerization.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite promising growth, the PSI market faces hurdles including inconsistent raw material quality from emerging suppliers and regulatory ambiguity around biodegradability claims. The high capital intensity of production facilities limits new market entrants, while competition from alternative biopolymers like polyglutamic acid pressures pricing strategies.
Supply chain vulnerabilities were exposed during recent geopolitical tensions, as over 60% of succinic anhydride production remains concentrated in China. Furthermore, lack of standardized testing protocols for PSI degradation rates complicates product certification across regional markets.
