Global Bromine Market is valued approximately at USD 3.12 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.8 % over the forecast period . Bromine market uses Bromine a naturally occurring element which is found seas, lakes and underground wells. It is colorless soluble crystalline mineral halide salt derived from the brine pools. The element is majorly used for manufacturing products like biocides, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, flame retardants, dyes, water disinfectants, completion fluids, and photographic chemicals. The richest resource of bromine is the dead sea with a concentration of 10-12 gram per liter. Further, the increasing demand for bromine in flame retardants, mercury emission control, water treatment, and oil & gas drilling has led the adoption of Bromine across the forecast period. BFRs are utilized to prevent fires in electronics and electrical equipment, which accounts for more than 50% of their applications. However, stringent governmental measures regarding the application of brominated flame-retardants in textile and electronic equipment have hindered the market growth.

The regional analysis of global Bromine market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is the leading/significant region across the world in terms of market share owing to the enormous demand for Organobromines which is due to the growing need for Zinc-bromine flow batteries and increase in consumption of flame-retardant products. Whereas, Asia-Pacific is also anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate / CAGR over the forecast period . Factors such as China being the fourth-largest producer of bromine, after Israel, Jordan, and the United States will drive the market. China accounts for more than 10% of the global bromine production while India produces about 3% of bromine of global production.
