Global Bromine Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Location, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End Use, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, Industry Market Size, Manufacturing Process, 2015-2035
H1 2023: The leading Bromine producing companies in H1 2023 were ICL Industrial Products Limited, Albemarle Corp, and Jordon Bromine Co. In May 2023, Anson Resources Limited announced a letter of intent (LOI) to buy 0.568 square kilometres of property for industrial use. At the Green River Project, the company estimated an exploration target of 2.0 - 2.6 billion tonnes of brine with a grade of 100 to 150 ppm lithium and 2,000 to 3,000 ppm bromine. Anson obtained exclusive rights to the property for the purpose of closing the sale before April 2024 upon execution of the LOI and will give the current owners USD 2.4 million to complete the purchase terms after due diligence is finished and a formal contract is signed. In H1 2023, Asia Pacific region experienced a bearish Bromine market scenario. Due to decline in downstream demand from the flame retardant and intermediate industries, Bromine market prices continued to decline throughout the first half of 2023 in China and India. Additionally, the Bromine production rates decreased despite the product being available in adequate quantities to meet the moderate downstream demand in the Asian nations. The price decreased fell drastically after April 2023 as a result of the expanding supply-demand disparity.
The global Bromine market has reached approximately 470 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.82% during the forecast period until 2035. Albemarle Corporation, a pioneer in the global specialty chemicals sector, announced in August 2022 that their Bromine and Lithium global business units will be reconfigured into a new business structure.
Bromine belongs to the halogen family. The chemical element bromine has the symbol Br. This element occurs naturally in sea water along with chlorine. On an industrial level, it is extracted from brine solution. Due its unique properties, bromine displays flame retardant properties and commonly used for the manufacture of flame retardants. Bromine is utilized in the production of a wide range of goods such as antimicrobials, water disinfectants, agrochemicals, chemical entities for synthetic drugs, pigments, and photography substances. It is extensively employed as a reactive and catalyst in chemical industries.
The primary driver of Bromine global market is the Flame Retardants Industry. In 2022, approximately 45% of global Bromine was utilized by the Flame Retardants Industry. Not just for manufacturing flame retardant sprays, Bromine compounds are also used as an additive in furniture foam and outer body of electronic gadgets to make them fire-resistant up to a certain extent. Furthermore, utilization of Bromine as a drilling fluid and for manufacturing of biocides are also the contributing factors for the growth of global Bromine market. The global market value of Bromine is estimated to reach approximately 760 thousand tonnes by 2035.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is leading as a consumer of the Bromine market. In 2022, this region accounted for a consumption of about 25% of the global Bromine market in 2022. Furthermore, North America and Europe are also prominent consumers of Bromine. Middle East is dominating the Bromine market as a producer. Israel situated in this region are causing the majority of Bromine production. It is anticipated that Israel will be the leading producer of Bromine in the forecast years as well on an international scsale.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Bromine market is segmented into certain industrial sectors including Flame Retardants, Drilling Fluid, Water Treatment, Hydrogen Bromide, and Others. Although, Flame Retardants is the largest consumer of global Bromine market. Bromine has unique properties than other halogens and is an ingredient in Flame Retardants. Bromine-based Flame Retardants work well in plastic and textile sectors as wells as employed in electronics, apparel, and furniture. The increasing demand of Flame Retardants is anticipated to swell up the demand of Bromine in the forecast period by 2035. Bromine is also employed in the energy sector as well in the form of Drilling Fluid. The rising demand of Drilling Fluid and Hydrogen Bromide is anticipated to create a demand of Bromine in the forecast period.
Major players in the production of Global Bromine are ICL Industrial Products Limited, Albemarle Corp, Jordon Bromine Co., Agrocel Industries Private Limited, Chemtura Corp, Gulf Resources Inc, Tosoh Corporation, and Satyesh Brinechem Private Limited.
