What industry dynamics are acting as key growth drivers for the bitumen market?
The increasing road construction activities are expected to propel the growth of the bitumen market going forward. Road construction activities refer to the processes and tasks involved in building, improving, and maintaining roads and highways. Bitumen helps in road construction activities by acting as a binder, providing waterproofing, flexibility, weather resistance, skid resistance, and ease of construction and maintenance. For instance, in November 2022, according to Global Australia Highlights, an Australia-based intergovernmental organization, the government budget for 2022–23 promises $12.04 billion (A$17.9 billion) over ten years for significant infrastructure projects around the country, including billions for road and rail projects. Between 2021 and 2025, total investment in major public infrastructure is estimated to exceed $146.72 billion (A$218 billion). Furthermore, in March 2023, according to Global X ETF, a US-based fund management firm, with the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in November 2021, the United States took a significant step towards improving its infrastructure. Over the next ten years, the IIJA is going to invest $550 billion to improve roads, bridges, airports, and railroads, extend access to clean drinking water and broadband internet, and achieve environmental justice. Therefore, the increasing road construction activities are driving the growth of the bitumen market.
