SMM, April 30:

This week, the prices of lithium battery separator materials remained stable. The mainstream quotations for wet-process separators of 5um/7um/9um were 1.59 yuan, 0.82 yuan, and 0.75 yuan, respectively. The mainstream quotations for dry-process separators of 12um/16um were 0.46 yuan and 0.43 yuan, respectively. On the supply side, with the completion of production resumptions across the industry chain in March, the industry's capacity utilisation rate has recovered, and it is expected that the production schedule for April will increase slightly. On the demand side, the downstream demand for new energy vehicles (NEV) and energy storage systems (ESS) continues to grow, which will drive battery cell manufacturers to increase their procurement of separators. In terms of prices, as separator prices have already approached the cost line, it is expected that separator prices may rise slightly in the near future.
