Bromine is a naturally occurring element, found in sea, lakes, and underground wells. It is broadly utilized as a reactant and catalyst for manufacturing a diversity of products, such as agrochemicals, biocides, water disinfectants, pharmaceuticals intermediates, dyes, completion fluids, flame retardants, and photographic chemicals. Dead-Sea is the richest resource of the bromine with concentration of 10-12 gram per liter.
Bromine is a colorless soluble crystalline mineral halide salt which is extracted from the brine pools. Several derivatives of bromine are utilized in a broad variety of end-use industries, such as hydrogen bromide, organobromine, and clear brine fluids. Bromine and its derivatives are utilized in a broad range of applications, such as oil and gas drilling, flame retardants, biocides, plasma etching, and PTA synthesis (mercury emission control and water treatment). Foremost end-use industries of bromine comprise chemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, electronics and textiles amongst others.
According to the report analysis, ‘Bromine Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)’ states that the global bromine market is augmenting on account of growing focus on decreasing the mercury emission from the environment. A worldwide treaty was signed in United Nations Minamata Convention on mercury In order to decrease the mercury emission and taking other measures to control the supply and trade of mercury as well as mercury added products and manufacturing procedures in which mercury is utilized. Bromine based products can decrease the mercury emissions from coal fired power plants and several other industrial installations in excess of 90% therefore it is a central part of the solution to meeting the objectives of the Minamata Convention. Furthermore, augmenting the demand of bromine flame retardant from large number of industries such as consumer appliances, electronics, and textile; large base of application areas, and growing utilization of bromine as a disinfection in the light of COVID-19 are some of the foremost factors which are propelling the market of bromine. Further, bromine as a clear brine solution is progressively use in oil & gas sector as they deliver high density fluid that are appropriate for deepwater production and also for high temperature and high-pressure oil and gas formations.
Based on derivatives, the market is classified into hydrogen bromide, bromide salts, organobromine, and others. Among these, organobromine control the largest share in the market due to its large consumptions in the introduction of flame retardants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Other utilization include, pesticides, fumigants, and biocides manufacturing. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers is primarily used in paints, plastics, foam furniture padding, textiles, rugs, curtains, televisions, building materials, airplanes and automobiles.
Asia Pacific controlled the considerable market share due to large base of end use industries in the regional countries such as China, Japan, and India, among others. The region is the manufacturing hub of automotive, textile, consumer appliances, paints & coatings, and electrical & electronics due to which large consumption of bromine as flame retardant. Further, bromine utilize as a catalyst in the production of telepathic acid (PTA) to manufacture polyester coatings resins for usage in the formulation of general metal, appliance, automotive, industrial maintenance, and coil coatings.
