The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the lithium-ion battery dispersant market—exhaustive secondary research collected information on the market, peer markets, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across the lithium-ion battery dispersant value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources for this study include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; certified publications; and articles by recognized authors; gold- and silver-standard websites; lithium-ion battery dispersant manufacturing companies, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases. The secondary research was mainly used to obtain critical information about the industry’s supply chain, the pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level and regional markets. It has also been used to obtain information about key developments from a market-oriented perspective.
Primary Research
The lithium-ion battery dispersant market comprises several stakeholders, such as raw material manufacturers and suppliers, manufacturers, traders, distributors, suppliers, contract manufacturing organizations, institutions, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. As part of the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for this report on the lithium-ion battery dispersant market. Primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), vice presidents, marketing directors, and related key executives from various companies and organizations operating in the lithium-ion battery dispersant market. Primary sources from the demand side included directors, marketing heads, and purchase managers from multiple end-use industries.

Market Definition
Lithium-ion battery dispersant is an additive used in various stages of battery manufacturing processes to get optimum viscosity of electrode slurry and to have a homogeneous distribution of conductive carbon in electrodes. A more uniform distribution of the active material will generally positively affect battery performance. There are various types of lithium-ion battery dispersants: block copolymers, naphthalene sulfonates, lignosulfonates, and others (polyimide-based dispersants, carboxymethyl cellulose, and polyacrylic acids). Some of the key stakeholders and manufacturers are Ashland, LG Chem, Huntsman International LLC, Evonik Industries AG, and Kao Corporation.
