Segment Analysis

In product types, polyethylene separators emerged as the dominant segment in 2022 with share above 40% due to their intrinsic thermal shutdown capability that enhances safety in high-temperature battery environments. This safety performance drives preference in critical applications like EV and portable electronics batteries and positions polyethylene separators as a strategic priority for material suppliers serving high-growth battery markets.

Within battery types, lithium-ion batteries clearly dominate due to widespread adoption in electric vehicles and consumer electronics, where high energy density and rechargeable performance are essential. This dominance structurally elevates separator demand as lithium-ion systems require advanced separator technologies for operational safety, prompting manufacturers to align production focus on separator solutions tailored for lithium-ion platforms.

Across end-user industries, automotive led demand in 2022 and is expected to maintain leadership because the shift toward electrified powertrains increases the volume of lithium-ion battery units that require separators. Automotive electrification thus directly expands separator market opportunities, encouraging deeper collaboration with EV OEMs and battery integrators to develop application-specific separator materials.
