The global Polysuccinimide (PSI) market continues to expand significantly, with its valuation reaching USD 103 million in 2024. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5%, reaching approximately USD 151 million by 2032. The increasing adoption of biodegradable polymers across water treatment and agriculture industries is driving this growth trajectory, particularly as environmental regulations become more stringent worldwide.
As an intermediate for polyaspartic acid (PASP), PSI offers exceptional thermal stability and biodegradability, making it ideal for sustainable applications. While water treatment remains its dominant application, new agricultural uses for slow-release fertilizers are creating additional growth avenues. Major producers are increasingly investing in production capacity expansions to meet this rising demand.

Market Overview & Regional Landscape
Asia-Pacific currently leads global PSI production, accounting for over 45% of capacity, with China and Japan as key manufacturing hubs. The region’s dominance stems from established chemical industries and growing wastewater treatment needs. North America follows closely, where environmental regulations are accelerating PSI adoption in both municipal and industrial water treatment applications.
Europe’s market growth is being propelled by REACH compliance and circular economy initiatives favoring biodegradable alternatives. Meanwhile, emerging markets in Latin America and the Middle East show promising potential, though infrastructure limitations currently restrict faster adoption. The U.S. remains the largest national market, while China is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate through 2032.
Key Growth Drivers and Emerging Opportunities
Several factors are fueling PSI market expansion. In water treatment, which accounts for nearly 60% of current demand, PSI’s scale inhibition properties make it increasingly preferable over phosphonates. The agriculture sector (30% market share) is adopting PSI-based slow-release fertilizers that reduce nutrient leaching while improving soil quality.
Recent technological advancements have enabled higher purity PSI grades (≥99%), commanding premium pricing in specialty applications. Research into PSI analogs for biomedical applications could open new market segments, while wastewater reclamation projects in drought-prone regions present immediate growth opportunities. The push towards greener alternatives in oilfield chemicals also shows promise for future adoption.
Industry Challenges and Restraints
Despite strong growth prospects, the PSI market faces several challenges. Price volatility in key raw materials like maleic anhydride impacts production economics. Regulatory approvals for new applications often face lengthy timelines, while competition from established alternatives like polyacrylic acids remains intense.
Technical limitations around molecular weight control and product consistency also create barriers, particularly for high-performance applications. Furthermore, the lack of standardized biodegradability testing protocols across regions creates market entry complexities for producers. Trade tensions and import regulations, especially in Asian markets, add another layer of complexity for global suppliers.
