Hydrogen Bromide Market Report 2026

The hydrogen bromide market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.39 billion in 2025 to $4.73 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of bromine-based chemical production, growth of electronics manufacturing, rising use in industrial catalysis, increasing demand for flame retardants, established applications in water treatment.

The hydrogen bromide market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.21 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing semiconductor fabrication capacity, rising demand for advanced specialty chemicals, expansion of photovoltaic manufacturing, growing investments in chemical process optimization, increasing focus on supply chain reliability. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-purity hydrogen bromide, rising use in semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing, growing adoption in specialty chemical synthesis, expansion of industrial catalyst applications, enhanced focus on safe handling and storage.

The increasing demand from the textile industry is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen bromide market. Hydrogen bromide (HBr) is used in the production of flame retardants, which are critical in textile manufacturing to ensure fabrics meet fire safety standards across sectors such as clothing, upholstery, and industrial textiles. For instance, in June 2025, according to Textile World, a US-based magazine, the value of U.S. man-made fiber, textile, and apparel shipments was estimated at $63.9 billion in 2024, compared with $64.8 billion in 2023. Additionally, U.S. exports of fibers, textiles, and apparel totaled $28 billion in 2024, down from $29.7 billion in 2023. Therefore, rising textile industry demand is propelling the hydrogen bromide market.

Major companies in the hydrogen bromide market are focusing on innovations such as ultra-high-purity (5N) HBr for semiconductor-grade applications, improving chemical consistency, process reliability, and reducing contamination risks during sensitive manufacturing. Ultra-high-purity HBr is refined to extremely low impurity levels - including moisture, oxygen, and hydrocarbons - enabling more consistent reactions, precise etching, and reduced wafer defects. For instance, in July 2025, Tianjin GreenLing Gas, a China-based specialty gas supplier, commissioned a 1,000-ton capacity semiconductor-grade HBr plant. The product provides 99.999% purity, enhancing process performance while ensuring chemical supply stability for advanced semiconductor fabs.

In April 2024, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, a federally recognized tribe in the United States, partnered with Skip Technology. The Puyallup Tribe intends to collaborate on additional trust lands to further its long-term goal of establishing a container terminal and the only tribally operated deep-water port in the nation. This partnership underscores the tribe's commitment to advancing its port development initiatives. Skip Technology, a US-based battery manufacturer, specializes in innovative energy solutions and incorporates hydrogen bromide into its advanced battery systems.
