Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the trends in scientific research that relate the concepts of product-service systems (PSS) and circular economy (CE). For this purpose, a bibliometric and keyword co-occurrence analysis has been carried out. The analysis (based on 6 clusters), shows that the union of these concepts is still in an emerging phase, with an increasing scientific and professional interest in obtaining models of joint functioning. Also that sustainability is a common concept linking both concepts. The main conclusions indicate a global trend towards CE, where the new business models focused on PSS allow to facilitate and improve the service offered to the client. This will help to improve the performance and productive efficiency at the same time, enhancing business competitiveness. The abstract should be a single paragraph in English.
