Based on battery type, the lead-acid segment accounted for the largest share during 2023 to 2028. Lead-acid batteries are widely used in renewable energy like solar and wind power, excellent in high current capacity and starting internal combustion engines. Beyond renewable energy, they are adaptable in automotive and telecommunications, powering vehicles and ensuring reliable communication networks. Their interest emerges from cost-effectiveness, safety features, and recyclability. Surging demand for lead-acid batteries drives market growth, increasingly pivotal in the battery separators market. As technology evolves, these batteries remain adaptable, maintaining relevance in traditional and emerging applications.
Based on material, the polyethylene segment accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the overall battery separators market during the forecast period. Polyethylene stands out as a thermoplastic material, offering diverse crystalline structures like high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene. These polyethylene separators play a crucial role in manufacturing batteries for consumer electronics and high-power applications. As the demand for consumer electronics and powerful batteries continues to rise, this is further expected to drive the battery separators market.
Based on end-use, the automotive segment accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the overall battery separators market during the forecast period. The rise of electric vehicles, powered by lithium-ion batteries, has been a major factor. Lithium-ion batteries are favoured for their efficient energy storage in electric cars. With increasing environmental regulations and norms, the demand for electric vehicles is expected to grow and driving up the need for lithium-ion batteries and, consequently, battery separators. This has resulted in a significant growth in demand for lithium-ion batteries, which in turn has boosted the demand for the battery separators market.
