Global Building Asphalt Market is valued at approximately USD 255.5 Million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.8% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Bitumen is the refined byproduct of the distillation of crude oils. It is commonly referred to as bitumen outside of the United States. Bitumen and inert particles such as gravel, sand and crushed stone are mixed to create building asphalt. The primary uses for this asphalt are construction, waterproofing, insulating, surfacing roads, sealing, and other uses. The market is growing because of the rising demand for Asphalt being used in constructing roads, high use of building asphalts while waterproofing and technological advancements in asphalt production.
According to Statista, the worldwide waterproofing membrane market is anticipated to experience substantial growth over the period from 2021 to 2026, with an estimated increase of USD 10.8 billion. This growth represents a significant surge of 37%. In 2021, the market’s value exceeded 29 billion U.S. dollars, and it is likely to reach a value of USD 40 billion. The development of advanced asphalt production technologies, such as warm mix asphalt (WMA) and cold mix asphalt (CMA), improves the performance and durability of building asphalt. These advancements drive the demand for upgraded asphalt products in the construction industry. Moreover, the growing demand of the construction industry due to the increasing population and urbanization along with maintenance and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure may create opportunities for the Building Asphalt Market. However, the fluctuating raw material cost can restrict market growth. According to a recent survey conducted by Taylor Wells in 2022, the study reveals that a significant 90% of supply chain and procurement managers who participated reported a substantial increase in raw material costs. 76% of these managers anticipate a high or moderate surge in raw material costs in the near future. The study also highlights that 45% of businesses experience a significant impact when faced with disruptions or shortages in the supply of raw materials.
The key regions considered for the Global Building Asphalt Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominates the market due to a rise in the utilization of residential buildings for recreational purposes, along with an increasing trend of maintaining roadways and highways. The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) states that there are around 3,500 asphalt mix production sites in operation across the United States. These sites collectively produce more than 350 million tons of asphalt pavement material each year. Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to the demand for the construction industry in developing economies such as South Korea, China, and India. The region is witnessing substantial infrastructure growth and innovative advancements in the construction sector. Industry consolidations are expected to contribute to the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
