Battery Separator Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The shift in the automotive industry to evs is notably driving the battery separator market growth, although factors such as disadvantages of lead-based batteries may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the battery separator industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Battery Separator Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the battery separator market growth is the shift in the automotive industry to EVs owing to growing concerns over environmental pollution and a shift toward a more sustainable ecosystem in the automotive industry. Various countries have framed policies to reduce air pollution levels, as well as vehicle emissions. On average, gasoline or conventional vehicles release double the amount of GHGs than EVs. Therefore, with the aim of reducing emissions and carbon footprint, the automotive industry is shifting its focus toward electrified cars. In an EV, the battery pack consists of tens to thousands of Li-ion batteries, which are called cells. These cells are either cylindrical, prismatic, or laminate in shapes. Depending on the design of vehicles, EV manufacturers use these cells to deliver higher levels of performance. Such factors, coupled with the increased sales of EVs, will drive the demand for batteries from the automotive sector. The increased demand for batteries for EVs will significantly contribute to the growth of the global battery separator market.
Key Battery Separator Market Trend
Declining costs of battery storage systems is the major trend influencing the battery separator market growth. Batteries are one of the most widely used ESSs around the world. The costs of battery systems have reduced since 2010 due to the improvements in hardware, economies of scale, and the standardization of system design and engineering. During the forecast period, the prices of battery systems such as lead-acid and lithium-ion are expected to decline to half of the present prices, and the prices of flow batteries are expected to reduce to one-third of the present prices. The sales of battery systems are growing due to the high adoption of ESSs. With the increase in sales, economies of scale have increased, and consequently, the prices of battery systems have reduced. By 2030, the cost of lead-acid battery-based ESS will be reduced to half of the cost in 2016. Such cost reductions, coupled with the enhanced performance of lithium-ion batteries, will boost the sales of these batteries and will drive the growth of the global battery separator market during the forecast period.
Key Battery Separator Market Challenge
Disadvantages of lead-based batteries is one of the key challenges hindering the battery separator market growth. Lead-based batteries dominate the battery industry in terms of use, as these batteries are comparatively lower in cost and have a more mature technology than other battery technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries or NiMH batteries. However, lead-based batteries contain high levels of toxic lead oxide, which is a hazardous material that poses risks to both the environment and human health. An increase in lead pollution due to the improper disposal of lead components has led to restrictions on the use of lead in batteries. Advanced lead-acid batteries are preferred in several applications due to their cost advantages and reliability. However, when compared with substitute batteries, such as lithium-ion or nickel batteries, advanced lead-acid batteries are heavier and less durable. Thus, the disadvantages associated with lead-acid batteries will limit the demand for lead-acid batteries and, subsequently, separators.
This battery separator market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The market for these devices is also witnessing a boom in APAC owing to factors such as increasing disposable income of the population, rising Internet penetration, and the availability of low-cost devices. The battery separator market in APAC is witnessing certain challenges, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. Since early 2020, many countries have been imposing nationwide lockdowns to prevent the community spread of the disease. The outbreak affected the economy of the region, supply chains, and the industrial and commercial sectors in 2020 and early 2021. The increasing incidence of COVID-19 in APAC is hindering supply chains and related activities and, subsequently, the demand for battery separators in the region. However, once travel restrictions are eased and the manufacturing sector and end-users, including automobiles and consumer electronics, begin to operate at full capacity with the containment of the disease, the regional market is expected to witness high growth during the latter half of the forecast period.
