Stars
Specialty Agriculture Solutions Revenue Growth to $2.8 Billion
ICL Group's specialty agriculture revenue rose to $2.8 billion in FY2025, driven by a shift to high-margin specialty fertilizers and a leading share in micronutrients and controlled-release products.
The segment taps a 7% CAGR in precision agriculture, serving climate-resilient farming; FY2025 gross margin expanded ~320 basis points, offsetting heavy R&D and capex.
Energy Storage Solutions Bromine-Based Battery Sales
ICL Group has positioned its bromine-based zinc-bromine flow battery unit as a Star, leveraging 2025 bromine production of ~330,000 metric tons and capturing a top-tier share in a stationary storage market growing ~30% YoY through 2025.
The unit is burning cash to scale, with capital expenditures near $220 million planned for 2025 to expand manufacturing and target multi-GWh deployments by 2026.
Phosphate-based Food Tech and Alternative Proteins
ICL Group holds a 25% share of specialized phosphate functional ingredients for plant-based meats, serving a segment growing at ~12-18% CAGR; revenue from this unit reached $420 million in FY2025.
ICL is expanding with new North America and Europe lines costing $180 million capex in 2024-25 to boost capacity by 40% and meet rising demand.
As a high-consumption, high-growth Star, this segment outpaced company average margins-EBIT margin ~22% in 2025-and is set to lead food-tech over the next decade.
Electronic Grade Phosphoric Acid for Semiconductors
ICL Group's electronic-grade phosphoric acid is a Star: demand tied to 2025 US semiconductor fabs rising ~15-20% driven by AI hardware, and ICL's vertical integration and 2025 US capacity expansions secure a strong moat.
Maintaining leadership needs ongoing R&D and QA capex-ICL's 2025 segment-level capex ~USD 120-150m and strict impurity specs <1 ppb.
- 2025 US fab build-outs up ~30 GW fabs capacity equivalent
Sustainability-Driven Bromine Flame Retardants
ICL Group's sustainability-driven bromine polymeric flame retardants are a Star: revenue grew 18% in 2025 to $420M as OEMs shift from legacy halogens, capturing share from slower competitors.
Tighter 2025 safety regs (EU RoHS updates, anticipated US state laws) push demand in automotive and electronics; high growth but needs continued capex and marketing.
- 2025 revenue $420M, +18%
- Market share gain vs legacy players: ~4 pts
- R&D+capex intensity: reinvestment >20% of segment sales
- Key end-markets: automotive, electronics-50% of sales
ICL 2025: Specialty Ag $2.8B, bromine BESS capex $220M, phosphate $420M (25%)
ICL Group Stars: specialty agriculture $2.8B (FY2025), gross margin +320bps; bromine flow batteries capex $220M (2025), bromine prod ~330k t; phosphate plant-based $420M rev, 25% share; electronic-grade P-chem capex $120-150M; flame retardants $420M (+18%).

Cash Cows
Dead Sea Potash Operations $1.5 Billion Annual EBITDA
Dead Sea Potash Operations deliver about $1.5 billion EBITDA in FY2025, driven by low-cost solar evaporation that keeps cash costs near $45/ton versus global averages above $80/ton.
In the mature 2025 potash market, ICL Group holds a high single-digit to low double-digit global share, needing little new capex as volumes are stable.
Surplus cash funds specialty-minerals expansion-ICL invested $350 million in 2025-and supports a $0.60/share dividend policy.
Industrial Bromine Elemental Supply Leadership
ICL Group controls ~33% of global bromine capacity and operates in a mature, high-entry-barrier market; in 2025 bromine sales contributed about $720 million to ICL's revenues (ICL 2025 annual report).
Lower production costs vs Chinese peers lift gross margins to ~35% in 2025, driving strong operating cash flow from the segment.
2025 promotional spend for bromine was negligible (<1% of segment sales), so ICL uses excess cash to service corporate debt and fund capex.
Commodity Phosphate Fertilizers and Rock
ICL Group's commodity phosphate fertilizers and rock are cash cows: FY2025 phosphate revenue was $2.1 billion, with EBITDA margin ~22%, driven by integrated mine-to-market cost leadership and production of 6.4 Mt phosphate rock.
Market is mature and cyclical, growth ~1-2% p.a.; key customers in South America and Europe; focus on OPEX cuts and extending asset life to fund R&D and specialty growth.
Magnesium Metal and Alloys Production
ICL Group's magnesium metal and alloys unit is a cash cow in 2025, holding roughly 20% global market share and delivering EBITDA margins near 28% on FY2025 revenue of about $420 million; market growth is ~2% annually, so cash generation remains steady.
Production is highly optimized with maintenance capex ~3% of sales (~$12-15 million in 2025), funding dividends and working capital while requiring no major investment.
- 2025 revenue ~$420M
- EBITDA margin ~28%
- Global share ~20%
- Market growth ~2% CAGR
- Maintenance capex ~$12-15M
