The global bromine derivatives market size is projected to reach USD 5.65 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing installations of flame retardant electronics devices in the automotive sector are providing a fillip to the market. Brazil, Mexico, U.S., China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Norway have increased their oil & gas exploration activities. In such activities, calcium bromide (CaBr) and Sodium Bromide (NaBr) are used as drilling fluid for extraction of petroleum products. Therefore, the trend will stoke the growth of the market.
Raw material suppliers, product manufacturers, and end users are the part of value chain of the bromine derivatives market. Major manufacturing players in the bromine derivatives market include Albemarle Corporation, Lanxess, Chemtura Corporation, Israel Chemicals Ltd., Gulf Resources, Perekop Bromine, Albemarle Corporation, Sanofi S.A., and Tata Chemicals. To reduce time and costs involved in supply of materials, manufacturing facilities of raw material manufacturers are located in close proximity to bromine deposits.
Hydrobromic acid and calcium bromide are two key derivatives of bromine. Hydrobromic acid is used in the manufacturing of inorganic products such as zinc, sodium, and potassium bromides. Diatomic molecule of hydrogen bromide is dissolved in aqueous water to prepare the acid.
Calcium bromide is produced by reaction of calcium oxide (CaO), calcium carbonate (CaCo3) with hydrobromic acid. It is used in drilling fluids, photography, and oxidizer for mercury emissions control. Apart from uses in flame retardants and oil & gas, bromine derivative applications also include the use of fumigants in perfumes, heavy brines, and other specialty chemicals.
