World Asphalt (Bitumen)

As Quoted In TradeArabia

Gains will be driven by especially strong growth in consumption in China and other developing countries, and by a steady recovery in the mature asphalt markets of developed nations.

World demand to rise 3.6% annually through 2017

World demand for asphalt is projected to rise 3.6 percent annually through 2017 from a weak 2012 base to 121 million metric tons (734 million barrels). Gains will be driven by especially strong growth in consumption in China and other developing countries as they work to improve their transportation infrastructures. Mature asphalt markets in developed nations, which declined between 2007 and 2012, will recover steadily, though in most cases demand will not regain 2007 levels until well after 2017.

Asia/Pacific region to be fastest growing market

The Asia/Pacific region has overtaken North America as the largest regional market for asphalt and will continue to record the fastest advances through 2017, driven primarily by strong growth in China and India. China alone accounts for over 20 percent of the global market and is expected to surpass the US as the world’s leading asphalt consumer by 2017. However, growth in China will decelerate as massive national infrastructure programs give way to smaller projects and road maintenance. In contrast, India is expected to continue with large public works projects that are necessary for the country’s continued economic development. Growth is also expected to be strong in other developing Asian countries where large public works projects are planned. However, this will be offset to some extent by slower growth in mature markets like Japan and Australia. Also, gains in many of the region’s developing markets will continue to be affected by political and financial issues.

Demand to recover in North America, Western Europe

North America is a major asphalt consumer due to the need for maintenance on the massive regional network of roads and highways. Demand for asphalt in the United States will rebound from the sharp declines in the 2007-2012 period, driven by stronger economic growth and increased construction activity, though demand in 2017 is expected to remain below the 2007 level. The US and Canada are significant consumers of asphalt for roofing products; demand for those products will rise with increased building construction expenditures.

Recovery in asphalt demand in Western Europe will be driven by increased expenditures on road maintenance and repair applications after years of very low spending on infrastructure improvements. Many countries have road repair backlogs, which will bolster demand for asphalt. However, while demand for asphalt will register respectable growth through 2017, gains will not make up for the declines seen in the 2007-2012 period.

Study coverage

This study analyzes the 101.2 million metric ton world asphalt industry. It presents historical demand data for 2002, 2007 and 2012, and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 for primary asphalt, asphalt products (paving, roofing), world regions and 24 countries.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 44 industry players, including PetroChina, Shell and GAFMC.
