This paper explores the current research in Product-Service Systems (PSS) across various industries such as industrials; basic materials; utilities; and financials; based on the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). PSS elements are identified within each industry in terms of tangible and intangible elements of products and services. Based on this identification; the differences in PSS delivery across industry sectors are defined based on two sources namely (i) actors; relationships; and networks; and (ii) delivery packages. Founded on the differences identified; the paper explains future research needs and challenges with focus on the scope of PSS; intra- and inter- sector flows and interactions between actors involved in PSS delivery and PSS design.
