The price of bromine may enter a new round of upward cycle.

As of March 25, 2025, according to the statistics of Baichuan Information, the domestic bromine quotation was up 55.66% year-on-year and 30.23% compared with the beginning of the year.

ICL has temporarily suspended the supply of bromine to the market, which may cause a temporary imbalance in the domestic bromine supply and demand, driving the domestic bromine price into a new round of upward cycle.

Currently, some suppliers in the main bromine production area of Shandong are reluctant to sell. It is expected that if the supply problem cannot be relieved in a short time, the bromine price is likely to rise rapidly, and the price increase space is considerable.

As DBDPE, which uses bromine oxide as its raw material, also experienced a rapid price increase, within the past two weeks, the price has risen by 50%. Moreover, with the increase in the price of bromine oxide, DBDPE will continue to rise.
