The global bromobenzene market size is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period 2021 - 2028. The growth of the market is attributed rising pharmaceutical industry.
Bromobenzene is an aryl halide with the formula C6H5Br. Although old samples may appear yellow, it is a colorless liquid. It is used in organic synthesis as a reagent. Bromobenzene, also known as monobromobenzene and phenyl bromide, is a heavy, colorless liquid with a strong odor.
It is used in the production of synthetic intermediate phenyl magnesium bromide, as an additive to motor oils and crystallizing solvent. The organic layer contains unreacted bromobenzene, biphenyl, and majority of other organic compounds that are not acidic. Bromobenzene has the potential to harm liver and kidneys. Bromobenzene occupational exposure limits have not been established.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing demand for co-polymers and bi-phenyls is projected to drive the market.
- Growing end-user segments in emerging countries has fueled the market.
- Low-cost chlorine substitute compound is estimated to hinder the market growth.
- Development of pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to create immense opportunities for the market players.

Bromobenzene Market Segment Insights:
The phenylmagnesium bromide segment is projected to hold major market share
Based on types, the global bromobenzene market is segregated into phenylmagnesium bromide, phencyclidine, and others.
The phenylmagnesium bromide segment dominates the market. Major product type of bromobenzene is phenylmagnesium bromide, which is multipurpose Grignard reagent used to prepare secondary amines, benzoic acid, and benzophenones. It is commercially available as THF or diethyl ether. It is also used in coupling reactions, such as Suzuki reactions, to introduce phenyl groups. These reactions are widely used in the synthesis of intermediates used in fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a precursor in the production of phencyclidine, a dissociative drug.
The Grignard reagent segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during forecast period
On the basis of applications, the bromobenzene market is segregated into Grignard reagent, solvent, chemical intermediate, and others.
The Grignard reagent segment is projected to grow at a rapid pace. The Grignard reagent is an organometallic chemical reaction that involves the addition of alkyl, ally, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides to a carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone. This reaction is crucial in the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Any chemical substance produced during the conversion of a reactant to a product is referred to as a chemical intermediate.
Asia Pacific is projected dominate the market
In terms of regions, the global bromobenzene market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa.
The Asia Pacific bromobenzene market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period, owing to increased investment in the region's pharmaceutical industry. Aside from that, the region's co-polymer and plastic industries are growing strongly, which is estimated to have a positive impact on the region's bromobenzene market. The emerging e-commerce and e-retail, as well as increasing demand from the automotive and rapidly growing construction industries, are some of the key factors driving the plastic industry in this region.
