MARKET RESTRAINTS

The market has major restraining factors like raw material price. Due to continuous changes in raw material prices the market is getting affected very much.  The price change is due to the raw between Russia and Ukraine. Dealing with issues associated with the cost volatility of raw materials is one of the largest challenges we face as metal fabricators, but by staying on top of the trends and by planning ahead, we can reduce its impact on not just our business but our customers’ businesses as well.

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES

The large format cells hampered the growth of the market to a major extent which has created a major challenge for the market growth. Growing demand for large format cells that have more energy than usual small format cells is driving the need for the development of separators that have increased thermal stability compared to polyolefin materials. These larger format cells are being used in both power grid applications and electric vehicles and these batteries have a higher possibility to be a cause of thermal events like fire. These events can result in rapid large temperature increases and ultimately fires and even explosions.
