Asphalt additives, also known as adhesion promoters, are the chemicals added to asphalt. They are added around 0.50% by weight. They can be added to asphalt in various ways due to their easy-handling properties. This addition improves the aggregate coating and increases the frequency and strength of the chemical bonding of asphalt as aggregate.

Due to an increase in the bonding, moisture damage destruction is prevented when the aggregate detaches from the asphalt in water. Moisture damage can cause rutting and potholes, and pave the way to failure prematurely. The major application of asphalt additives is in the roofing sector, especially in waterproofing applications. Thus, construction and roofing are the fields propelling the asphalt additive market growth during the forecast period.

Although the developments in airways and seaways, roads are still dominating the transport sectors in major parts of the globe. Governments of many countries still prioritize the development of roads and highways. Developing countries such as India, China, and others are expected to grow in roads and infrastructure in the upcoming years.

Even after building the roads, regular maintenance and rehabilitation are required. Thus, the road construction sector is termed a never-ending process. Various projects have been launched by many governments to widen the expressways and highways. For instance, in December 2021, the Indian government announced that by the year 2024, the construction of the Zoji La tunnel on the Srinagar-Leh highway would be completed.

The roads and transport ministry is also working on schemes that will provide funds from the public at a 6% annual interest rate. Such rapid developments in road construction will require a high amount of asphalt aggregate chemicals. This is anticipated to rise in demand for asphalt additives in the future. Hence, there is no doubt about the growth of the asphalt additive market during the forecast period due to roads and highway or expressway infrastructure projects.

Additionally, growing traffic congestion on expressways and highways has led to the degradation of these roads. To make the roads durable, the proper base material is required. Whereas growing industrialization also paved the way for efficient road requirements. As the majority of raw materials are transported by roadways themselves, the dependency of industries on the road is rising. Hence, the growing requirement for efficient roads is expected to raise the demand for asphalt additives to enhance traditional asphalt’s properties and increase its durability, which will lead to growth in the asphalt additive market in the future.

Asphalt Additive Market Geographical Outlook:

  • Asia-Pacific to grow at a fast pace

Along with India, China, Indonesia, and Malaysia, the government also increased its spending on infrastructure. These road infrastructure development activities are expected to increase at a significant rate in the upcoming years, which is eventually expected to drive the asphalt additive market in these countries.

Whereas due to growing environmental awareness, increasing funding, increasing roads and highways, and government initiatives to enhance the infrastructure, the demand for the asphalt additive is growing in North America and Europe as well. As per the report by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, road construction, highways, bridges, and parking lots in the United States are predicted to increase in the forecast period.
