2024年,全球溴市場規模為36.3億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group估計,到2033年,市場規模將達到54億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率為4.04%。亞太地區目前佔據市場主導地位,2024年將佔超過37%的市場。這一主導地位的驅動力在於該地區強勁的工業成長以及對阻燃劑、水處理解決方案和農業化學品日益成長的需求。
溴市場的主要成長動力是各行各業對阻燃劑需求的成長。溴化合物,主要是溴化阻燃劑,廣泛用於電子、紡織、汽車和建築領域,以降低可燃性並提高安全性。例如,2024年,Sirmax North America推出了不含鹵素成分的溴基阻燃聚丙烯 (PP) 化合物。這些化合物具有UL黃卡認證、V0/5VA等級以及優異的機械和電氣性能,可用於電氣應用。由於全球消防安全規範日益嚴格,對此類化合物的需求正急劇上升。此外,智慧型手機和筆記型電腦等消費性電子產品的需求不斷成長,也推動了溴基阻燃劑的使用。這一因素將持續推動溴市場需求的成長。製造商將努力跟上安全標準和消費者的期望。
美國是全球主要溴及其衍生物出口國和生產國之一。美國一些最大的溴生產設施位於阿肯色州,為世界各地的工業生產大量溴。美國企業是開發新型溴基產品的先驅,例如阻燃劑、水處理化學品和藥品。例如,2024年,致力於透過溴、鉀和磷酸鹽資源應對食品、農業和工業領域永續發展挑戰的全球特種礦物公司ICL推出了用於硬質聚氨酯保溫材料的永續磷基阻燃劑VeriQuel R100,並投資超過200萬美元用於研發。目前,美國四家領先的屋頂公司正在使用該產品,另有六家正在開發中。此外,美國政府實施了嚴格的法規,刺激了對更安全、更永續的溴應用的需求,從而推動了美國國內溴市場的成長和競爭力。
溴衍生物的創新
溴衍生物領域近年來創新發展迅速,尤其是在更有效率、更環保的產品方面。這些創新主要集中在研發更先進的阻燃劑,使其具有更高的耐火性、更低的危害性和更好的可回收性。水處理領域包括全新設計的溴基化學品,其環保特性已增強,確保在生物污染物控制方面表現出色,以符合新的嚴格標準。日益成長的監管壓力和全球對永續性日益成長的重視推動了此類創新,促使企業投資研發符合環境目標且經濟高效的解決方案。例如,2024年3月,Archean Chemical的子公司Acume Chemicals在古吉拉特邦啟動了溴衍生物產品生產設施的第一階段。該公司公佈,2023-24會計年度12月季度的淨銷售額為41.263億印度盧比(約4,930萬美元),淨利為10.153億印度盧比(約1,210萬美元)。該公司預計將從西亞衝突中獲益,由於死海地區的產量預計將放緩,預計衝突將推高溴價格。
阻燃劑需求不斷成長
溴基阻燃劑的需求正在快速成長。這主要歸功於其在電子、汽車和建築等領域的應用,這些領域將消防安全視為首要考慮因素。這些阻燃劑能夠顯著降低可燃性並阻止火勢蔓延。這些應用包括電路板、汽車零件和建築材料。全球範圍內消防安全法規的日益嚴格和火災隱患意識的不斷增強,進一步推動了這一需求。此外,消費性電子產品、汽車和基礎設施都需要溴基阻燃劑的耐久性,因此這些化合物在確保安全合規方面發揮著至關重要的作用。例如,科萊恩於2023年10月在惠州大亞灣啟用了一座全新的先進無鹵阻燃劑生產設施,該設施投資額達6,000萬瑞士法郎(約6,680萬美元)。該工廠將滿足中國及亞洲地區零件製造商日益成長的需求,尤其是在電動車和電子電氣領域。新工廠加強了科萊恩在提供創新和永續消防安全解決方案方面的地位。
製藥和農業化學品應用的成長
溴基化合物是醫藥和農業化學品開發中不可或缺的一部分,尤其是作為殺生物劑和農藥的活性成分。包括新興市場和國家的醫藥和農業化學品行業的成長也促進了對此類溴化合物的需求。隨著這些產業的擴張,對優質、穩定的化學中間體的需求持續成長。為此,溴是許多現今使用的活性醫藥和農業化學品成分中不可或缺的中間體。發展中地區對糧食安全和醫療保健的日益重視進一步刺激了這種需求,使溴成為支持全球農業和製藥業進步不可或缺的元素。根據產業報告,印度製藥業正在快速成長,預計到 2024 年將達到 650 億美元,到 2030 年將達到 1,300 億美元。目前,印度製藥業的價值為 500 億美元,服務於 200 多個國家,供應非洲 50% 以上的學名藥、美國市場的 40% 和英國藥品的 25%。印度也滿足了全球60%的疫苗需求,供應了世界衛生組織70%的基本疫苗。溴市場的關鍵成長因素之一是其在醫藥和農業化學品領域的應用成長,這體現了其在活性成分合成中不可或缺的作用,從而提高了產品功效。然而,這些因素在發展中市場更為活躍,因為發展中市場對高效殺生物劑和農藥的需求不斷成長,推動了溴業務的擴張。
The global bromine market size was valued at USD 3.63 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 5.40 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.04% during 2025-2033. Asia-Pacific currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 37% in 2024. This dominance is driven by strong industrial growth and increasing demand for flame retardants, water treatment solutions, and agricultural chemicals in the region.
The primary growth driver for the bromine market is the increase in demand for flame retardants from various industries. Bromine compounds, primarily brominated flame retardants, are used abundantly in electronics, textiles, automobiles, and construction sectors in order to decrease flammability and increase safety. For instance, in 2024, Sirmax North America launched its bromine-based flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) compounds with halogen-free compositions. The compounds provide UL Yellow Card certification, V0/5VA ratings, and excellent mechanical and electrical properties for use in electrical applications. Owing to growing stringent fire safety norms globally, the demand for such compounds is highly on the rise. Also, the increasing demand for consumer electronics, which include smartphones and laptops, propels the usage of bromine-based flame retardants. This factor will keep on driving the demand for bromine market growth. Manufacturers would try to keep pace with safety standards and consumers' expectations.
The United States is one of the countries and producers that are majorly exporting bromine and its derivatives to the world. Some of the largest bromine-producing facilities in the United States are located in Arkansas, and they produce large amounts of bromine to industries around the world. Companies of the United States are pioneers in the development of new bromine-based products, such as flame retardants, water treatment chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. For example, in 2024, ICL, a global specialty minerals company addressing sustainability challenges in food, agriculture, and industry through bromine, potash, and phosphate resources, launched VeriQuel R100, a sustainable phosphorus-based flame retardant for rigid polyurethane insulation, with an investment of over $2 million in R&D.
