At 4.8% CAGR, South & Central America Bitumen Additives Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 721.10 Million by 2030, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the South & Central America bitumen additives market was valued at US$ 494.72 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 721.10 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2030. Sustainability offered by bitumen additives and development of sustainable bitumen additives are among the critical factors attributed to drive the South & Central America bitumen additives market growth.

Rising awareness regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can upsurge the demand for bio-based and sustainable polymer products. Governments of various countries are adopting several initiatives to increase the awareness and development of bio-materials and recycled materials. In 2019, Nouryon launched sustainable ingredients for the asphalt market. The company launched Wetfix G400, a non-amine adhesion promoter derived from renewable resources. Wetfix G400 is aimed at meeting customers’ needs for a sustainable alternative that maintains asphalt mixture performance and durability. Adhesion promoters are added to asphalt used in road construction and maintenance to protect from damage caused by moisture and extend the service life of asphalt pavement. However, conventional adhesion promoters are incompatible with polyphosphoric acid (PPA), which is growing in popularity as an economical way to modify asphalt binders to the desired performance level. In 2021, Kao Performance Chemicals launched an asphalt additive made from recycled plastic (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. The product NEWTLAC 5000 is an additive with high durability and oil resistance. Moreover, NEWTLAC 5000 pavement is less susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles. Therefore, the development of sustainable bitumen additives is expected to drive the bitumen additives market during the forecast period.

On the contrary, fluctuations in raw material prices hamper the growth of the South & Central America bitumen additives market.
