bitumen market

The global bitumen market was valued at US$ 93.4 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2031. This steady expansion is driven by increasing infrastructure development, road construction, and waterproofing applications. By the end of 2031, the market is expected to reach US$ 145.3 billion, fueled by rising urbanization and demand for durable paving materials.

Manufacturers in the bitumen market are taking advantage of government stimulus packages and schemes by the BFSI sector to stay financially afloat during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Even though bitumen is suitable for resurfacing a road with low volumes of traffic, asphalt is emerging as an alternative to it, owing to its cost efficiency with a longer life span as compared to bitumen. Nevertheless, bitumen can be recycled and is cheap as compared to asphalt. Manufacturers should educate their customers about the pros and cons of bitumen & asphalt, especially for resurfacing projects. They are investing in sound infrastructure, facilities, and experienced workforce to increase the availability of bituminous adhesives used for use in insulation applications.

Growth in Infrastructure Development Activities to Drive Market

Based on product, the bitumen market has been segmented into paving bitumen, oxidized bitumen, cutback bitumen, bitumen emulsion, polymer modified bitumen, and others (bitumen formed due to the addition of zinc and copper). Of these, paving bitumen dominated the market in 2020. This growth can be ascribed to the rise in initiatives for infrastructure development in developing countries such as India and China.

In terms of application, the bitumen market has been segmented into roadways, waterproofing, adhesives, insulation, and others (decorative and industrial). Of these, road construction is anticipated to dominate the market, accounting for a larger share of 80.0% by the end of 2031. This growth can be ascribed to high viscosity and stickiness of the bitumen. The waterproofing segment is predicted to expand at a rapid pace owing to infrastructure development activities in emerging nations such as India and China.
