Sodium Bromide Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Industrial, Medical), By Industrial Application (Oil & Gas, Water Treatment, Chemical Industry), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

Sodium Bromide Market Growth & Trends

The global sodium bromide market size is anticipated to reach USD 385.5 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Key growth factors include the expansion of the oil and gas sector, increasing water treatment demands driven by stringent regulations, and the continued use of sodium bromide in pharmaceuticals and flame retardants.

Sodium bromide prices across all grades reflect the interplay between industrial demand, regional production capabilities, and shifts in global market dynamics. The continued rise in prices, particularly for the medical and specialty grades, indicates increasing regulatory scrutiny and the need for higher purity standards, while the industrial grade price stabilizes with the gradual recovery of the oil and gas sector.

Overall, the landscape shows that while traditional producers like Israel and the U.S. have strengthened their positions through capacity expansion, emerging producers such as the UAE are gradually increasing their output to meet regional demand. Meanwhile, countries facing regulatory challenges, like India, are witnessing a decline, reflecting the evolving global production dynamics of sodium bromide.
