IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the battery separators market has been mainly driven by the growing use of battery separators in various end-use industries, such as automotive and consumer electronics. However, the pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the market.  The significant decline in the growth of the several industrial sectors reduced the demand for battery separators in the global market. The global market for all types of cars was significantly disrupted due to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically declined the sales of electric cars and had a negative impact on the global consumer electronics market.

As the economies are reviving their operations, the demand for battery separators is improving. The sales of electric vehicles have increased in 2021, with growth in all three top auto markets China, the US, and Europe. In the US, according to the car registration data from Experian, about 378,466 electric vehicles were registered from January to October 2021, which was 94% more than in 2021. Many consumer electronics companies have also started seeing an increase in sales due to growing demand. Therefore, the growing demand for electric vehicles and various electronics devices is expected to drive the demand for battery separators in the coming years.
