[197 Pages Report] The Battery Separator Market size was estimated at USD 4.16 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 4.64 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 12.75% to reach USD 9.65 billion by 2030.

A separator is a porous membrane between electrodes with different polarities that allow ionic movement while preventing electrical contact. Batteries have used a variety of separators over the years. Batteries are becoming a crucial storage element to support the transition to clean energy as market vendors progressively replace fossil fuel power with emissions-free electrification. The continuous expansion of the automotive industry with the introduction of new and contemporary models and growing favorable government support for adopting electric and hybrid vehicles is increasing the usage of battery separators. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), in Q1 2022, globally, 2 million electric vehicles were sold, up 75% from the same period in 2021. The increased purchasing ability of consumers due to rising disposable incomes, particularly in emerging economies, has also resulted in the rising adoption of electric vehicles, subsequently encouraging automakers to focus on developing electric vehicles. The growing penetration of electric vehicles worldwide increases the usage of battery separators to prevent physical contact between the cathode and anode while facilitating ion transport in the cell. On the other hand, problems with thermal stability and maintaining homogeneity in material quality impede the use of battery separators. However, rising sales of smart and portable electronics in the healthcare industries and improvements in lithium-ion batteries aid increased use of battery separators.

Regional Insights

Increasing inclination toward electric vehicles and rapid expansion of the EV charging infrastructure is expected to increase the adoption of battery separators in the Asia-Pacific. In March 2023, India’s Union Minister of Heavy Industries, Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey, announced the sanction of funding under the FAME India Scheme Phase II for setting up 7432 public fast charging stations nationwide. Japan aims to establish a “Well-to-Wheel Zero Emission” policy, by 2050, in line with the global efforts to eliminate emissions, focusing on energy supply and vehicle innovation. Replacing all petrol and diesel-based vehicles with EVs can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by around 80% per vehicle, including an approximate 90% reduction per passenger vehicle. Government initiatives in the region are increasing the demand for electric vehicles, subsequently increasing the demand for battery separators. The increasing funding by regulatory authorities in countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Brazil for expanding the manufacturing of battery separators is contributing to the market growth in the Americas. For instance, in October 2022, ENTEK International LLC received funding of USD 7 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy to expand domestic manufacturing of battery separators for electric vehicles. The funding enabled ENTEK International LLC to build a new lithium battery separator manufacturing plant that provides enough capacity for 1.4 million electric vehicles.
