Significant Industry Movements and Acquisitions
In September 2025, I Squared Capital, a US-based investment firm, acquired a majority stake in ENTEK International LLC. This strategic move aims to bolster domestic battery production by reshoring crucial manufacturing activities in the United States. ENTEK specializes in producing battery separators and related materials for energy storage, and this acquisition supports the advancement of cutting-edge battery materials and components within the US market.

Innovations and Emerging Trends in Battery Separators
Industry leaders are increasingly focusing on electrolyte retention technologies to enhance battery performance, safety, and durability. Electrolyte retention refers to the separator's capacity to hold and maintain electrolyte within its structure, which ensures stable ionic conductivity, boosts battery efficiency, prolongs cycle life, and prevents leakage or drying out. For example, in March 2025, Finnish materials manufacturer Ahlstrom launched an advanced absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery separator platform designed to improve battery longevity and safety. This AGM separator absorbs and immobilizes electrolyte within a fine fiberglass mat, enhancing charge acceptance and overall efficiency while providing superior durability and vibration resistance. Such innovations are vital for high-demand sectors, including automotive and renewable energy, as they ensure safer and longer-lasting energy storage solutions.

Detailed Segment Analysis of the Battery Separators Market
The battery separators market is broadly segmented by battery type, material type, and end user. By battery type, the market includes lithium-ion (Li-Ion), lead acid, and other battery types such as nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and sodium-ion batteries. Material-wise, the market is divided into polypropylene, polyethylene, and other materials. End users include automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and other sectors.

Further, the Li-Ion segment is broken down into polyethylene (PE) separators, polypropylene (PP) separators, and ceramic-coated separators. The lead acid segment consists of absorbent glass mat (AGM) separators, polyethylene (PE) separators, and PVC separators. The "other battery types" category covers separators used in NiCd, NiMH, and sodium-ion batteries, reflecting the diverse applications of battery separators across various technologies and sectors.
