High demand for bromine derivatives and Clear Brine Fluids (CBFs) is seen in the US which is seeing an uptick in drilling and exploration activities for oil.
Increasing incidence of fire accidents has created demand for materials with fire-retarding properties. As bromine compounds possess fire resistant properties, they are being used extensively in flame retardants.
According to the latest report by Future Market Insights, the global bromine market is estimated to be worth US$ 2.4 Bn in 2021. With a large share in oil and drilling applications, bromine and its derivatives are seeing high demand growth in the US.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, players in the bromine market are engaging in smart procurement moves for bromine and its derivatives in order to preserve their margins. Efforts are also being undertaken to secure long-term strategic liaisons by manufacturers with their customers and partners to offtake production and keep plants operational in the interim.
