Middle East & Africa Bromine Market Seen Soaring ~5.90% Growth to Reach USD Million by 2033, Projects UnivDatos

Key Highlights of the Report:

• The substantial new bromine capacity in the Middle East and Africa, particularly in the area of the major brine deposits, is consolidating the local self-sufficiency and the capacity to export.

• The bromine-based clear brine fluids and other oilfield chemicals demand is still supported by healthy exploration and production activity of oil and gas.

• Increasing consumption of brominated flame retardants in construction, automotive, electrical, and electronics is the foundation of continuing growth in the consumption of downstream bromine.

• The structural water stress is speeding up the investments in water-treatment, desalination, and industrial effluent treatment, increasing the demand for bromine-based biocides and chemistries.

• This is gradually changing the market to higher-value derivatives, which allows the prospects of specialty chemicals and energy transition usage, like in advanced materials and storage technologies.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Middle East & Africa Bromine Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The Middle East & Africa Bromine market is growing at a steady pace, based on the high level of brine resources, the level of oil and gas activity, and the increased spending on infrastructure and industry. Bromine and its compounds are gaining applications in clear drilling fluids using brine, brominated flame retardants, construction and electronic products, cooling water, desalination, and wastewater treatment biocides. Increasing water stress and urbanization are supporting the need to have hard disinfection and treatment chemistries, whereby the ability of bromine to work at higher PH and temperature is appealing. Simultaneously, MEA is finding itself a competitive supply base as local consumption and export, as a number of regional players are investing in new capacity and integrated facilities around the Dead Sea and the Gulf.

Segments that transform the industry

• Based on product, the Middle East & Africa bromine market is segmented into elemental bromine, calcium bromide, sodium bromide, and others. Among these, calcium bromide has held the major market share in the Middle East & Africa bromine market. This dominance is driven by the region’s strong oil & gas sector, where calcium bromide–based clear brine fluids are widely used for drilling, completion, and workover operations. High offshore and deep-well activity in the Gulf countries, combined with strict performance and safety requirements for well-control fluids, keeps demand for calcium bromide higher than for elemental bromine, sodium bromide, and other derivatives.

According to the report, Growing New Production Capacity of Bromine in the Region has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

• An increase in the production capacity of bromine in the Middle East as well as Africa is a basic driver of the regional market. The brines of the Dead Sea and other high salinity resources are also being converted into the current extraction and processing facilities, usually by way of joint ventures with international chemical participants. These projects enhance the security of supply among local customers in the areas of oil and gas, flame retardants, water treatment, together with agrochemicals, and reduce reliance on imports in Asia and Europe. The costs of unit production have also decreased in larger and more efficient plants, making the region more competitive in the export markets. Simultaneously, numerous new investments are combined with the derivative units (clear brine fluids, biocides), which grab a greater portion of the value in the region and help specialty-chemical clusters appear. Increases in capacity enable producers to be better placed to enter into long-term contracts, provide large infrastructure and energy initiatives, and respond promptly to demand increases in Africa, the GCC, and more.

• In 2023, Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) signed a joint agreement with Khobar-based Speciality Industrial Chemical Company (SICCo) to extract minerals and build a bromine production system using the brine waste stream of reverse osmosis desalination plants. SWCC will produce bromine and supply it to SICCo in the coming years for desalination.
