In 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Transport (China) unveiled the National Highway Network Planning document showing their aim to construct a functional, efficient, green, intelligent, and safe modern highway network by 2035. In 2022, Obayashi Corporation, a Japanese construction company, began testing the new system of road infrastructure at the Technical Research Center (Tokyo) in collaboration with various partners from the construction industry. Therefore, the growing construction industry and research and development pertaining to road infrastructure in Asia Pacific are projected to boost the demand for bitumen additives.
Strategic Product Innovations and Research by Key Market Players
Bitumen additives manufacturers are investing significantly in strategic development initiatives such as product innovation, mergers & acquisitions, and business expansion to attract a wide customer base and enhance their market position. Major manufacturers and researchers are adopting strategies such as research and development to serve the customer demand and satisfy their growing demands. In 2023, a researcher from Sarsam and Associates Consult Bureau (Iraq) reviewed the utilization of micro-sized fly ash and nano-sized silica fumes to extend the fatigue life of the pavement. In 2022, SoyLei Innovations aimed at developing a rejuvenator product, a compound made of soybean oil that can be mixed with recycled asphalt. In 2022, Aggregate Industries launched Foamix, a cold-mix asphalt containing 92% recycled materials and 85% reclaimed asphalt pavement. Thus, rising strategic product innovations and research by key market players are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the bitumen additives market growth in the coming years.
Growing Demand from Various End-Use Industries
Bitumen Additives is an essential material in the manufacture of many polymers and resins. Bitumen Additives is the key raw material used for the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), etc. Polyvinyl acetate has strong adhesion properties for various materials, including paper, wood, plastic films, and metals. It is also an important ingredient in wood glue, white glue, carpenter’s glue, and school glue. Polyvinyl alcohol is used for adhesive packaging films. The increasing demand for adhesives from various industries such as construction, furniture, etc., is driving the market growth. For the production of many interior latex paints, Bitumen Additives-based polymers are used to provide adhesion of all the ingredients. Additionally, many Bitumen Additives-based derivatives are used as a coating in plastic films for food packaging. Polyvinyl alcohol is used in photosensitive coatings. Hence, increasing demand for paints & coatings across the globe is further boosting Bitumen Additives market growth. In textile manufacturing, polyvinyl alcohol is used for warp sizing, a process by which textiles are coated with a protective film so as to reduce breakage during weaving.
