The global Bitumen Market is expected to reach USD 135.10 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.49% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The expansion of Bitumen in a variety of fields, including roads, waterproofing, insulation, and adhesives. The expansion in infrastructure activity has been influenced by the rapid urbanisation of emerging markets due to these factors the bitumen market is anticipated to drive market revenue growth.

Market Overview

Bitumen, often known as asphalt, is a naturally occurring or petroleum distillation-derived black, sticky mixture of hydrocarbons. It is used as a binder and combined with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete in a variety of applications, such as road construction. Other uses for waterproofing goods include the creation of adhesives, insulation, and roofing felt. Due to its high viscosity, stickiness, and water-resistance qualities, bitumen is a crucial raw material in the construction and industrial sectors for making water tanks, dams, and bridges. The global market for eco-friendly bitumen is anticipated to have steady revenue growth throughout the projected period as a result of ongoing product innovation and research & development by leading market participants. Recycled asphalt pavements (RAP) use in pavement building is a sustainable tactic with significant financial and environmental advantages. Compared to traditional bitumen grades, this product has better workability, adhesion, and resistance to moisture damage. The need for environmentally friendly bitumen is predicted to rise with the usage of RAP and asphalt recycling. For example, up to 90% of asphalt has been recycled in Germany and is now used to build new roads and maintain old ones. Pavement deforms and cracks as a result of bitumen's increased viscosity over time. specifications. Some of the major reasons propelling the revenue growth of the eco-friendly bitumen market include the fast rise of operations linked to the construction of international highways and roads.

Eco-friendly bitumen has shown to be much less hazardous to the environment than crude oil derivatives. Because it is not burnt, the material does not emit carbon dioxide into the environment. It is also cost-effective and ecologically beneficial because it can be recycled and used again. The cost advantages of eco-friendly bitumen are expected to raise demand in the building and construction sector, and this will significantly drive market revenue growth. The market's revenue growth is anticipated to be constrained by poor consumer awareness, interruptions in the supply chain for raw materials, limited durability, and low tensile strength. Petroleum bitumen is a major export from Russia to a number of countries. Prices have increased and the supply-demand imbalance has widened as a result of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, trade restrictions, and sanctions. The usage of recycled plastics in asphalt and concrete pavement applications is predicted to rise. A key issue impeding market expansion is the existence of strict laws governing the building of roads as well as negative tax policies. It is projected that the possible use of lignin as a substitute for materials used in roads and pavements would have a negative effect on market revenue growth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each industry has seen collapse. As more people become aware of the environmental benefits of recycling road pavements, recycled bitumen has experienced the largest demand on the global market for eco-friendly bitumen. This is one of the factors contributing to recycled bitumen's high demand.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the Paving segment accounted for the largest share of the Market, with 21.6% and a Market revenue of 21.6 Million.

Based on the product, the Bitumen Market is categorized into Paving, Oxidized, Cutback, Emulsion, Polymer Modified and Others. In 2021, the Paving segment accounted for the largest share of the Market, with 21.6% and a Market revenue of 21.6 Million. Throughout the forecast period, the Paving segment is anticipated to maintain its leading position Due to its durability and fast repair ability, asphalt concrete is used as the binder in around 85% of all bitumen produced for roads, parking lots, airport runways, and footways. A paving grade bitumen with a penetration grade of 60/70 is made from carefully monitored refining procedures using precisely chosen crude oils. In order to create asphalt concrete, fine and coarse aggregates, such as gravel or crushed stone, must be combined with asphalt, which serves as the binding agent.

• In 2021, the Roadways segment accounted for the largest share of the Market, with 29.3% and a Market revenue of 29.3 Million.

Based on the application, the Bitumen Market is categorized Roadways, Waterproofing, Adhesives, Insulation and Others. In 2021, the Roadways segment accounted for the largest share of the Market, with 29.3% and a Market revenue of 29.3 Million. Throughout the forecast period, the Roadways segment is anticipated to maintain its leading position while expanding at the fastest CAGR this is a result as Bitumen is most often used in road construction, where it serves as a binder for the production of asphalt concrete. This section discusses using bitumen to build new roadways and pave existing ones, including flyovers, motorways, platforms, and airport runways.
