Market Overview:

The global asphalt market size reached US$ 221.4 Million in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 308 Million by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% during 2022-2027. 

Asphalt is a black colored and semi-solid binding material obtained from petroleum distillation residue. Manufactured at an average temperature of 150 to 180°C, asphalt is highly durable and crack-resistant. It is primarily used in the construction of roads, parking areas and driveways as it binds crushed stone and aggregates into the firm and concrete surfaces such as roads and pavements. Smoothly laid asphalt helps in minimizing fuel consumption and emissions in vehicles and adds to the safety by providing better grip to the wheels.

Rapid urbanization across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. With the increasing population, there is a huge demand for asphalt shingles that are used for waterproofing roofs. Furthermore, asphalt serves as a more cost-effective and durable alternative to the conventionally used concrete in the construction industry. Moreover, the increasing usage of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) in residential and commercial driveways, parking lots, and schools and playground blacktops are catalyzing the market growth. It is also used as an emulsion to reconstruct highway surfaces and old pavements. Additionally, increasing demand from the industrial sector for low-slope roofing products such as modified bitumen membranes, mopping asphalts and roll roofing is driving the growth of the market further. Other factors such as growing demand from the oil and gas industry, the rising need for industrial modernization and increasing adoption of emulsified asphalt along with polymer modified asphalt is also creating a positive outlook for the market.
