Besides this, the market is also expected to gain impetus from the increasing investment in road development activities worldwide. Expansion of road networks between countries will create significant sales opportunities for asphalt additives manufacturers. A case in point is the agreement between China and Europe to reconstruct the ancient "Silk Route" between India and China. Such rising spending in construction projects will substantially fuel demand for asphalt additives.

Additionally, the market is also expected to gain from upcoming events such as the Summer and Winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup. These events will significantly boost road construction activities across countries slated to host these events, thus augmenting demand for asphalt additives.

Growing Use of Asphalt Substitutes to Threaten Market's Growth

The majority of asphalt additives produced around the world are used in road construction. However, volatility in prices and the shortage of asphalt supply have led to the development of various substitute products. Currently, asphalt substitutes such as bricks, cobblestone, pavers, cement, and concrete are used on an extensive scale for the construction and maintenance of roads. This poses a significant threat to the producers of asphalt additives.

Potential Applications of PMA to Boost Opportunities for Asphalt Additives Sales in Forthcoming Years

The potential application of polymer modified asphalt (PMA) is expected to drive demand for asphalt additives in the forthcoming years. PMAs find application in the construction of roads and pavements, roofing, waterproofing, and sprayed sealants. They ensure prolonged lifespan of the application they are used in, apart from enhancing their overall performance. The rising awareness about benefits offered by PMAs will propel the asphalt additives market in the near future.

The rising use of asphalt in road construction makes it the largest application segment in the global asphalt additives market. Holding a share of 83.2%, the road construction and paving segment led the overall market in 2014. Regionally, Asia Pacific dominated the global market with a share of 33% in terms of volume in the same year.

The presence of a large number of companies with equal market shares and strong brands such as Evonik Industries AG, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Honeywell International Inc., and Akzo Nobel N.V. has given the global asphalt additives market a highly fragmented vendor landscape. Transparency Market Research (TMR) finds in a new study that the majority of these companies are presently focusing on product diversification, strategic alliances, and mergers and acquisition to gain lion's share in the market.
