Paving Grade Bitumen to Hold Significant Share during the Forecast Period, 2016 - 2022

A mixture of highly sticky, black, and viscous organic liquids that is entirely soluble in carbon disulfide and primarily composed of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is called bitumen. Naturally occurring bitumen is a tar-lie form of petroleum which is so dense, heavy, and thick that it must be heated or diluted before it could flow. Bitumen mostly contains sulfur and various heavy metals such as vanadium, lead, nickel, chromium, mercury, and other toxic elements.

Drivers and Trends

The market for bitumen is indirectly related to the GDP of various countries across the globe due to its widespread usage in road construction, waterproofing, and industrial applications. Due to the surge in production of bitumen in North America, the MEA and APAC, the bitumen market in the aforementioned regions is estimated to increase at a significant CAGR over 2016–2022 in terms of revenue. With an anticipated increase in production of bitumen in APAC in the coming years, demand for bitumen in the region is expected to increase between 2016 and 2022. Currently, some of the major factors driving growth of the global bitumen market are increasing road construction activities, use of bitumen in commercial and domestic building constructions, and supportive initiatives by governments of various countries.
