Battery Separators Market Scope
The function of the separator is to prevent direct contact between the cathode and anode. New separators continue to be developed and applied to commercial cells. Some separator manufacturers are currently producing or experimenting with separators that incorporate ceramic coatings or separators made of thermally stable non-woven fabrics that do not have shutdown capability but maintain separation between the anode and cathode over a broader temperature range.
According to AMA, the Global Battery Separators market is expected to see growth rate of 13.5%
Research Analyst at AMA estimates that Japanese Vendors will contribute to the maximum growth of Global Battery Separators market throughout the predicted period.
