The global demand for separators used in lithium rechargeable batteries reached 630 million in 2013, which is twice the level of 2010 (365 million), and is expected to grow at 24% GAGR till 2020, reaching 3,022 million after six years. Although 16% of the entire separator market was occupied by medium to large sized battery applications, small-sized applications are expected to be on an equal with their counterpart in terms of market demand by 2019. In 2010, those used in medium to large sized batteries accounted for only 0.3% of the entire separator demand.
Based on revenue, the market already exceeded $1 billion in 2012 and is expected to triple, exceeding $3 billion by 2020.
