The growing usage of asphalt additives in roofing application


The asphalt additive market is projected to grow from USD 3.4 billion in 2021 to USD 4.7 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2021 to 2026. Increase in road construction projects along with the growing usage of asphalt additives in roofing application are some of the major key factors driving the growth of the asphalt additive market across the globe.



Asphalt is primarily used in roofing applications for waterproofing. It is also used as a saturate in asphalt saturated felts, roll roofing, and shingles. Asphalt shingles are one of the least expensive roofing applications and are witnessing increased demand from the North American and European regions. The sub-prime crisis of 2007-2008 in the US caused a recession in the construction industry. However, the construction industry in the North American region has recovered and is growing at a moderate pace. As the market for building materials is increasing in the North American and European regions, the use of asphalt in these materials is expected to grow. Consequently, the demand for asphalt additives is also expected to increase as these improve the service life and durability of asphalt in roofing applications.


The Asia Pacific region was the largest market for asphalt additives in 2020


The Asia-Pacific region was the largest market for asphalt additives in 2020, owing to the increasing demand for asphalt additives products in developing economies, such as India and China. China is the leading consumer of asphalt additives products in the Asia-Pacific region. The considerable growth and innovation, along with industry consolidations, is expected to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific asphalt additives market.


Nouryon (Netherlands), DowDuPont (US), Arkema SA (France), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Evonik Industries (Germany), Huntsman Corporation (US), Kraton Corporation (US), Ingevity Corporation(US), and BASF SE (Germany) are some of the leading players operating in the asphalt additive market.
