Market Review
Bromine prices trended weakly last week. In the Shandong region, the bromine market remained sluggish; manufacturers quoted prices in the range of 34,000–36,000 RMB/ton, though actual transaction activity was subdued and a wait-and-see sentiment prevailed. Operating rates in the bromine industry continued to rise, gradually increasing spot supply, while downstream demand remained lackluster, with purchasing limited to immediate needs.
Regarding raw materials, domestic sulfur prices trended downward overall this week; the average market price was 9,200 RMB/ton at the start of the week and 9,724.33 RMB/ton by the weekend—an increase of 5.7% and a rise of 324.46% compared to the same period last year. Downstream demand remained steady.
Market Outlook
Bromine prices have recently been trending weakly. Although upstream sulfur prices have been relatively strong, the supply of bromine is gradually recovering, and downstream buyers are largely purchasing on an as-needed basis. Market sentiment remains cautious and wait-and-see, with overall trading activity subdued. Given the interplay between supply and demand, bromine prices are expected to undergo weak consolidation in the near term, with the specific trajectory depending on downstream market demand.
