Asphalt Additives Market Outlook - 2027
The global asphalt additives market was valued at $3.6 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $5.3 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2020 to 2027.
Asphalt mixed together with concrete elements to obtain asphalt concrete is known as asphalt additive. Asphalt additive is used as an adhesive in road construction. The asphalt additives are also used as waterproofing materials. Asphalt additives help in reducing life cycle costs, stripping, cracking, permanent deformation, raveling, and pavement thickness.
The growth of the asphalt additives market is majorly driven by increase in road and building construction activities across the developing countries such as India and China. Construction of various national highways, expressways, and airport runways boosts the demand for asphalt additives across these countries. In addition, rise in investments by the government of these countries for the development of national highways and expressways across the countryand development of road network in rural areas for providing last mile connectivity, is anticipated to drive the growth of the asphalt additives market. Furthermore, bitumen is widely used in the construction industry for roofs, owing to its physical properties such as adhesion, resistance to water, hardness, ductility, and higher softening point. Therefore, rise in the construction industry due to growth in population across the cities and demand for new houses led to increase in demand across the developing economies. In addition, government initiatives such as Pradhan MantriAwasYojana (PMAY) launched by Government of India that includes construction of houses for poor people living in both rural and urban areas is expected to increase the demand for asphalt additives; thereby, driving the growth of the global market.
However, changing regulatory environment coupled with low consumer awareness can hamper the growth of market. On the contrary, increase in demand for asphalt additives from the emerging economies as well as rise in awareness about energy conservation and sustainable infrastructure are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for asphalt additives market growth in the near future.
