Bromine Production by Country
Bromine production by country measures how much bromine each country produces, expressed in metric tons. The figures follow the definitions used in the underlying sources. The statistics are based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. The table below lists 6 countries, each reporting bromine content, with 2024 and 2025 data available for all 6. The United States is not shown because its production figures are withheld to avoid disclosing company proprietary data. The figures are as reported for bromine content, and 2025 figures are estimates from the source.
Israel produced the most bromine in 2025 with 200,000 metric tons. Jordan ranked second with 110,000, followed by China (90,000), Japan (20,000), India (7,000), and Ukraine (6,000). Among the 6 countries with available 2025 data, Israel accounted for about 46 percent of the reported production values, and Israel and Jordan together accounted for about 72 percent. Israel and Jordan were the only countries to produce more than 100,000 metric tons in 2025. In the Middle East, Israel (200,000 metric tons) is the dominant producer, ahead of Jordan (110,000). In Asia, China (90,000) is the largest producer, ahead of Japan (20,000) and India (7,000). In Europe, Ukraine (6,000) is the only listed producer, while the United States figures are withheld in North America. Israel recorded the largest increase, rising from 190,000 metric tons in 2024 to 200,000 in 2025 (up 10,000). China recorded the largest decline, falling from 100,000 to 90,000 (down 10,000), and Ukraine fell from 11,000 to 6,000 (down 5,000), an almost halving. Jordan eased from 112,000 to 110,000 (down 2,000), while India and Japan were unchanged at 7,000 and 20,000 metric tons. Among the six countries, total reported production declined from 440,000 metric tons in 2024 to 433,000 in 2025, driven by the fall in China and Ukraine. Israel, the largest producer, continued to strengthen its position, and the World total is not shown in the table because it is not reported in a consistent manner in the source. The statistics are based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, with major processing by Our World in Data. Values refer to bromine production, in metric tons, as bromine content. 2025 figures are estimates from the source. The United States figures are withheld to avoid disclosing company proprietary data. In the table, a zero reflects no production, while an empty cell means that no value was reported.Countries With the Largest Bromine Production in 2025
