The global market size for modified bitumen is projected to reach USD 19.29 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2016 to 2021. The market is driven by rise in demand in the Asia-Pacific region, growing construction industry in emerging nations, and cost-effectiveness of modified bitumen. Road construction is one of the major markets for modified bitumen in emerging as well as developed economies.
The various modifier types discussed in the report are styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), atactic polypropylene (APP), crumb rubber, and natural rubber. SBS is the largest modifier type segment of the modified bitumen market, in terms of volume and value, owing to the materials unique combination of properties making it useful across industries.
By end-use industry, the report segments the modified bitumen market into road construction (tunnel liners, bridges & flyovers, highways, and airport runways), building construction (roofing & walls, building, and structures), and others (waste & water management and industrial applications). Road construction is the fastest-growing end-use industry of the modified bitumen market in countries such as India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
The application method discussed in the report are hot asphalt, cold asphalt, torch-applied, and others (mechanically fastened and self-adhering). Hot asphalt is the most widely used application method globally, as it provides firmness in summer heat and high penetration index which provides greater flexibility in colder temperatures.
Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are the major modified bitumen markets. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global modified bitumen market. The market in Asia-Pacific is estimated to record high growth owing to increasing demand from the construction industry. The demand for modified bitumen in North America and Europe is comparatively lower than that of Asia-Pacific due to the economic slowdown in these regions.
Though the modified bitumen market is growing at a significant rate, lack of awareness regarding the benefits of modified bitumen among potential industries of developing countries hampers the market growth.
Sika AG (Switzerland), Nynas AB (Sweden), Total S.A. (France), Royal Dutch Shell Plc (The Netherlands), and Colas S.A. (France) are the leading companies in the global modified bitumen market. These companies are expected to account for a significant market share in the near future.
