The global bromine market reached a value of USD 4.17 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.00% between 2025 and 2034 to reach a value of USD 6.79 Billion by 2034.
China is one of the world's most extensive production bases for electronics. In the electronics sector, products, like smartphones, TVs, wires, and others, have recorded the highest growth. The nation not only serves the domestic electronics demand, but it also exports electronic products to other countries. In China, the manufacturing of electronics is expected to rise with the increasing purchasing power of the middle-class population and the increasing demand for electronic products exports from China. Thus, the rising demand for bromine-based batteries and flame-retardants is expected to rise as the electronics and construction sector increases.
India is also a significant producer in the market. Bromine is primarily used by flame retardants, batteries based on bromines, transparent salt fluids, and others. The electronics market in India is among the country's largest, as well as the fastest-growing sectors. As labour costs are increasing, many manufacturers are switching from China to India to satisfy the growing demand. Government schemes, such as Digital India, is also expected to boost the growth in the manufacturing of electronics. These factors are projected to increase the bromine demand in the region during the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific Region to Represent a Significant Consumption and Production Base for Bromine
The Asia-Pacific region was one of the most significant markets for bromine in 2020. The massive demand for organobromines in the Asia-Pacific has been driven by a growing need for zinc-bromine flow batteries and increased flame-retardant products use in the region. China is one of the leading markets in the region.China is one of the world's most extensive production bases for electronics.
