Bromine Market: Deep-pocketed Established Players Weathering Market Changes with Technological Resources

Global giants, having massive manufacturing capacities and significant geographical outreach, dominate the bromine market, worldwide. They have been able to adapt well to the various changes in the market by dint of being deep-pocketed and having the technological resources. Some of the main strategies adopted by them to stay ahead of competition in the bromine market are product development and competitive pricing.
Some of the prominent participants operating in the global bromine market are Albemarle Corporation, Israel Chemical Ltd. (ICL), Jordan Bromine Company Limited, and Gulf Resources Inc.

As per a report by Transparency Market Research, the global bromine market will rise at a tepid pace in the upcoming years. It forecasts the market to become worth US$2.674 bn by 2025 from US$1.74 in 2016 by registering a CAGR of 5.0% during the period between 2017 and 2025.
Demand from China Catapults Asia Pacific Market to Fore
Depending upon its various applications, the global bromine market can be classified into flame retardants, drilling fluids, biocides, catalysts, and water treatment, among others. Among them, the main application of bromine is seen in flame retardants. Going forward, the segment is expected to retain its leading share in the market, albeit reducing it slightly to 32.6% by 2025 by clocking the minimum CAGR of 4.2%.
Based on geography, the global bromine market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. Of them, Asia Pacific has emerged as a leader both in terms of growth rate and share in revenue. In 2016, the region contributed a significant 50.0% share in the revenue in the market. The region is also predicted to grow its share vis-à-vis volume mainly on the back of massive demand from China, which accounts for over half the demand for bromine in the region. China is also a major manufacturer of bromine in Asia Pacific.

Application in Water Treatment Drives Market
Bromine primarily finds application in water treatment – be it industrial water treatment or residential and commercial water purification. Bromine also finds application in thwarting formation and growth of bacteria, algae, and odors in swimming pools. The increasing uptake of water treatment chemicals is expected to keep the prospects of the market upbeat in the foreseeable future.
The lead analyst of the TMR report, elaborates further on the opportunities in the global bromine market: “The market for bromide-based technologies to remove mercury emission at coal-fired power plants is an area of potential growth for the industry. Bromide compounds for reducing mercury emissions costs less compared to other materials, namely fluorine-, chlorine-, or iodine-based compounds.”
Health Hazards Posed by Bromine Crimps its Demand
A factor, providing headwind to the global bromine market, is the fact that it is classified as a hazardous waste. Hence, it has to be disposed of carefully so that minimum damage to the environment and humans results. Further, bromine vapor is highly corrosive. The problem becomes aggravated in presence of moisture on account of the formation of acids. Therefore, bromine needs be kept dry during transportation and storage. Bromine, heavier than water, also needs to be transported carefully in properly designed and operated systems to lessen the risk of potentially hazardous imbalances. All these have also served to slow down its market.

The report segments the global bromine market as follows:
Global Bromine Market, by Application

  • Flame Retardants
  • Drilling Fluids
  • Biocides
  • Catalysts
  • Water Treatment
  • Others


This review is based on the findings of a TMR report, titled, “Bromine Market (Application - Flame Retardants, Drilling Fluids, Biocides, Catalysts, and Water Treatment) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco
