The upstream and downstream development trends of the industrial chain are improving, and the brominated flame retardant industry has huge development potential.
Brominated flame retardants refer to compounds containing halogens (mainly Br and Ir). According to different ingredients, brominated flame retardants can be divided into polybrominated diphenyl ethers, tribromophenols, bromophthalic anhydride, bromobisphenol A, bromoalcohols, and brominated polymers. and oligomer flame retardants. Brominated flame retardants are pollution-free new fiber flame retardants. They have the characteristics of high flame retardant efficiency, good thermal stability, high cost performance, and wide range of applications. They are widely used in electronic appliances, home appliances, construction, medicine, plastics and other fields. .
The upstream of the brominated flame retardant industry chain is raw material suppliers such as brine, sulfur, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, bromine, chlorine, etc.; the midstream is Neptune Chemical, Weifang Haihua, Suli Fine Chemical, Shouguang Weidong Chemical, Merui Technology, Laizhou Laiyu Chemical, Brother Technology, Jinyingtai Chemical and other brominated flame retardant manufacturers; downstream applications include plastics, rubber, coatings, textiles, sockets, connectors, cables, etc.; terminals include construction, home appliances, medicine, transportation, Communication, electronic appliances and other application fields.
Brominated flame retardants are a resource-constrained industry, and their production relies heavily on the supply of bromine resources. Global bromine resources are mainly distributed in Israel, the United States, China and other countries. In Israel, bromine resources are mainly distributed in the Dead Sea area; in the United States, they are mainly distributed in the Arkansas underground brine area; in China, they are mainly distributed in the Bohai Bay Rim area. my country is rich in bromine resources, and a production base for bromine and bromine-based flame retardants centered on the coastal area of Weifang, Shandong has been formed. In 2021, the domestic bromine production capacity will be approximately 112,000 tons. The sufficient supply of raw materials in the upstream of the industrial chain has laid a good foundation for the development of the domestic brominated flame retardant industry.
In recent years, against the background of the rapid development of domestic social economy and the increasing intensity of environmental protection, brominated flame retardants are continuously expanding their application scope with their good performance. At present, my country has become the fastest growing application of brominated flame retardants in the world. The country with the largest consumption scale. Currently, against the background of rapid development in domestic electronic appliances, transportation, construction and other fields, the market demand for brominated flame retardants continues to increase, and its production and sales scale continues to expand. According to the “2022-2026 China Brominated Flame Retardant Products Market Analysis Feasibility Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, In 2021, my country’s brominated flame retardant output will be approximately 205,000 tons; the market size will be 14.31 billion yuan.
Industrial Analysts personnel said that after development in recent years, brominated flame retardants have become the most widely used flame retardants in the global market. , the category with the largest output. In recent years, with the sufficient supply of domestic raw materials and the continuous development of application fields, the production and sales scale of brominated flame retardants has continued to expand, leading companies in the industry have continued to rise, and the industry has good development prospects. At the same time, brominated flame retardants are the main means to control fires from the source. In recent years, domestic research and development projects on new brominated flame retardants have been increasing, and the industry has huge potential for future development.
