In this contribution I review the PAH-DIB hypothesis. Firstly, I list several propertiesof PAHs and their behaviour and expected signatures in space. Next, I give an overview ofthe current observational insights on the DIB carriers. I conclude with a briefdescription of recent results on the search for the DIB carriers and the prospects we havefor identification.
