Germany is the dearest market we track for Meta Bromo Anisole, and it spent most of 2025 drifting down. German material opened near USD 62,000/MT and eased to about USD 59,000/MT by Q4, off roughly 4.8%, as weak agrochemical demand ran into softer bromine costs. The global average slid too, from USD 41,000/MT in early 2025 to USD 39,000/MT by December. Then it turned. Restocking and steadier bromine economics carried the number back to USD 42,000/MT in Q2 2026.
Meta Bromo Anisole, which most people call 3-bromoanisole (C7H7BrO), is a brominated aromatic ether, a clear liquid running from colourless to pale yellow, made mostly by methylating m-bromophenol with dimethyl sulfate. It is a workhorse intermediate. Pharmaceutical and agrochemical uses take the largest cut, with dyes, fragrances, photoinitiators, and a small battery-additive niche picking up the rest. What sets the price? Bromine feedstock, m-bromophenol and dimethyl sulfate, energy, and wherever the agrochemical cycle happens to be.
The second half of 2026 looks firm enough. Two years of hard destocking, through 2024 and into 2025, left buyers lean, so the restocking now running through agrochemical and pharmaceutical lines is meeting a market with little to spare. Bromine has found a floor. Producer economics are firming. That points to a slow climb back, not a snap rebound.
The risks run in both directions. A bromine squeeze, or an energy-cost jump at Indian or Chinese plants, would lift the bottom fast. The other way, a stall in agrochemical restocking, or fresh oversupply out of India's crowded producer field, would cap the recovery before it built up steam.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 41,000 - 48,000 | Agrochemical restocking, bromine off its floor |
| United States | 60,000 - 68,000 | Import and handling costs, among the dearest |
| China | 37,000 - 43,000 | Integrated bromine keeps China cheapest |
| Germany | 62,000 - 70,000 | Energy and compliance top the range |
| India | 43,000 - 49,000 | Deep intermediate capacity, a firm middle |
The US saw the sharpest quarterly step of the whole recovery, printing USD 61,000/MT against USD 58,000/MT in Q1, about 5.2% up. Restocking across pharmaceutical and agrochemical lines, together with firmer landed costs, drove it.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q2 2026 in United States?
Buyers had let inventories run thin, and once agrochemical demand came back they had no choice but to rebuild. Bromine-linked feedstock and import handling pushed the bottom up. The quarter closed at USD 61,000/MT.
China stayed the cheapest origin, but even so offers firmed to USD 38,000/MT, roughly 5.6% above Q1's USD 36,000/MT, as downstream demand revived and bromine grew dearer.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q2 2026 in China?
Reviving agrochemical and intermediate buying left less on the spot market. Firmer bromine and energy lifted the bottom. Still, integrated feedstock kept a lid on things, and prices held near USD 38,000/MT.
Nobody paid more than Germany, at USD 63,000/MT, about 5.0% over USD 60,000/MT. Energy and compliance stayed heavy, and European intermediate demand was on the mend.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q2 2026 in Germany?
European buyers returned as stocks thinned. High energy and regulation kept break-even well up. The quarter came to rest near USD 63,000/MT.
India firmed to USD 44,000/MT, roughly 4.8% above the USD 42,000/MT of Q1, lifted by pricier bromine and a recovery in agrochemical export demand.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q2 2026 in India?
Agrochemical and pharmaceutical demand revived just as bromine turned dearer. Even in a crowded producer field, that was enough to put the quarter at USD 44,000/MT.
The US began steadying in Q1 at USD 58,000/MT, about 1.8% over Q4. Early restocking and firmer feedstock offset the weakness that had defined the previous year.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q1 2026 in United States?
A little selective restocking, plus steadier bromine, gave the market a floor at USD 58,000/MT.
China opened 2026 at USD 36,000/MT, up around 2.9% from Q4, as post-holiday demand and firmer bromine lifted a market that had bottomed late in 2025.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q1 2026 in China?
Reviving downstream enquiries and dearer feedstock steadied offers, holding prices near USD 36,000/MT.
German prices reached USD 60,000/MT in Q1, about 1.7% over Q4, with firmer energy costs and an early European restock steadying the top of the range.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q1 2026 in Germany?
High energy-linked costs and cautious restocking carried the quarter to USD 60,000/MT.
India started at USD 42,000/MT, roughly 2.4% over Q4, helped by firmer bromine and early agrochemical restocking.
Why did the price of Meta Bromo Anisole change in Q1 2026 in India?
Steadier bromine and a reviving agrochemical bid lifted the market to USD 42,000/MT after a soft 2025.
Meta Bromo Anisole dipped through mid-2025 before turning up into 2026. From USD 39,000/MT in Q2 2025, the average slid to USD 38,000/MT in Q3, recovered to USD 39,000/MT in Q4, then climbed to USD 40,000/MT in Q1 2026 and USD 42,000/MT in Q2, up about 7.7% net. Agrochemical destocking and softer bromine shaped the dip; restocking and firmer feedstock drove the bounce.
| Quarter | Price (USD/MT) | QoQ Change | Direction |
| Q2 2026 | 42,000 | +5.0% | ↑ Rising |
| Q1 2026 | 40,000 | +2.6% | ↑ Rising |
| Q4 2025 | 39,000 | +2.6% | ↑ Rising |
| Q3 2025 | 38,000 | -2.6% | ↓ Falling |
| Q2 2025 | 39,000 | - | - Stable |

Meta Bromo Anisole slid for most of 2025 and only steadied late. The average opened near USD 41,000/MT and closed around USD 39,000/MT, off about 4.9%. Three forces set the direction: weak agrochemical demand in a long destocking cycle, easing bromine feedstock, and plenty of supply out of India's crowded producer field. The floor did not form until Q4.
The US eased from about USD 60,000/MT early in 2025 to USD 57,000/MT by Q4, off roughly 5.0%. Weak agrochemical demand and softer landed costs pressed on the market for three quarters before a tentative floor showed up late on. Destocking did the driving.
China slipped from around USD 37,000/MT to USD 35,000/MT, about 5.4% lower. Softer downstream demand and easing bromine weighed on offers, though integrated feedstock kept the fall in check. Weak demand against ample supply was the year in a line.
Germany came off from roughly USD 62,000/MT to USD 59,000/MT, down about 4.8%. Soft European agrochemical and intermediate demand did the damage, while high energy costs softened the blow. Demand weakness against a costly home base was the theme.
India eased from about USD 43,000/MT to USD 41,000/MT, a 4.7% decline. A crowded producer field and soft agrochemical export demand pressed on prices, and easing bromine added to the drift. Oversupply against weak demand did it.

The biggest share goes to pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates, where 3-bromoanisole works as a selective aromatic building block. Dyes, fragrances, photoinitiators, and a small lithium-ion battery-additive niche take what is left.
In Q2 2026 the average was USD 61,000/MT in the US, USD 38,000/MT in China, USD 63,000/MT in Germany, and USD 44,000/MT in India. Germany runs dearest, on energy and compliance.
Down. The global average dropped from about USD 41,000/MT early in 2025 to USD 39,000/MT by Q4, roughly 4.9%, on weak agrochemical demand and easing bromine.
Three things did it: a long agrochemical destocking cycle, bromine easing off its earlier highs, and plenty of supply from India's crowded producer field.
Look for a USD 41,000 to 48,000/MT band through the rest of 2026, held up by agrochemical restocking and firmer bromine.
Germany and the US run highest, on energy, compliance, and import handling. India holds the middle on deep intermediate capacity. China stays cheapest on integrated bromine.

Mainly bromine and m-bromophenol costs, energy, and the agrochemical cycle. Compliance actions and freight can amplify the short-term swings.
India has the largest producer base, clustered in Gujarat, with China close behind on integrated bromine. Move bromine costs or agrochemical demand and every market tends to feel it inside a quarter or two.
Buy around the agrochemical restocking cycle, weigh fixed price against spot, and get cover in place before bromine-led costs firm. Bromine feedstock is the earliest read on the cost base.
