Bromine Derivatives Market size is anticipated to reach USD 40 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of bromine derivatives was USD 23 Billion. One of the key drivers propelling the growth of the market is the escalating demand for flame retardants, particularly in the growing construction industry. Flame retardants play a pivotal role in enhancing the fire resistance of various materials used in construction, such as insulation materials, plastics, and coatings. With an upswing in construction activities worldwide and a growing emphasis on safety standards, the demand for bromine-based flame retardants has witnessed a substantial surge. As per the recent reports, the construction work across the globe is expected to grow more than USD 4 Trillion by 2037.
Additionally, the construction sector is experiencing robust growth globally, driven by urbanization, population expansion, and infrastructure development projects. As more buildings and structures are being erected, there is a heightened awareness of the need for enhanced fire safety measures. Bromine derivatives s are chemical compounds that contain bromine as part of their molecular structure. Bromine itself is a halogen element and is widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, oil and gas drilling, and water treatment.
