Asphalt Additive Market Will Achieve US$ 4.7 Billion by 2026- Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™
The global asphalt additive market is projected to grow from USD 3.4 billion in 2021 to USD 4.7 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2021 to 2026. An increase in road construction projects along with the growing usage of asphalt additives in roofing applications is some of the major key factors driving the growth of the asphalt additive market across the globe.
Based on type, the rejuvenators segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value. Increasing use of recycled materials, such as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) in the asphalt pavements application, has resulted in the growing demand for rejuvenator asphalt additives to restore the strength and durability of aged binders. Rejuvenators are being widely used to improve properties, such as viscosity, of aging binders. The growth of this segment is due to the increased use of recycled road material for pavement application globally.
Based on technology, the warm mix technology of the global asphalt additive market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026, in terms of value. The demand from warm mix technology segment is rising due to various properties that have made it more attractive than other asphalt mixes. Less energy is needed to heat the asphalt mix, and less fuel is required to produce warm-mix asphalt. Also, it is environment-friendly as it produces fewer emissions, thus improving the working conditions at asphalt pavement sites. These properties will further increase its market share in the technology sector.
Nouryon (Netherlands), DowDuPont (US), Arkema SA (France), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Evonik Industries (Germany), Huntsman Corporation (US), Kraton Corporation (US), Ingevity Corporation(US), and BASF SE (Germany) are some of the leading players operating in the asphalt additive market. These players have adopted the strategies of expansions, new product developments, acquisitions, and collaboration to enhance their position in the market.
