The price of bromine had been temporarily stable in the recent times, while the upstream sulfur price was running weakly. The downstream demand for bromine had decreased, and the demand for flame retardants in the main downstream market remained stable. Demand was mainly purchased on demand, and the supply and demand gamed. It’s expected that bromine may continue to consolidate in the later stage, depending on downstream market demand.
