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. In 2020, BASF SE launched a bitumen additive, B2Last, that provides service life extension by up to 50%. B2Last binds constituents in the bitumen to form a strong and elastic polymer grid. 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 over the coming years.
South & Central America is significantly investing in green and sustainable construction. According to the US and the Brazilian Green Building Councils, Brazil accounted for more than 1.2 million square meters of certified buildings, ranking seventh in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) registrations worldwide in 2021.
