Development of Sustainable Bitumen Additives Drives Europe Bitumen Additives Market


Governments of various European countries have imposed a few regulations on using chemicals to manufacture products in many processing industries, including chemicals & materials and paints & coatings, to ensure better protection of human health and the environment. These regulations are set to reduce greenhouse emissions and have compelled polymer manufacturing companies to increase investments in developing naturally derived raw materials. 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 Europe bitumen additives market during the forecast period.

Europe Bitumen Additives Market Overview

Europe is a prominent region, encompassing economies such as Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Poland, contributing to the growth of the Europe bitumen additives market. Europe is one of the largest producers of construction materials, operated by small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that supply construction materials to local and regional markets. According to the European Commission, the construction industry is one of the major industries in Europe, contributing ~9% to the region’s GDP. The Europe invested ~US$ 6 billion for the construction of sustainable, safe, and efficient transport infrastructure, including 107 transport infrastructure projects in June 2023. A few bitumen additives are manufactured from recycled materials, which support the government’s efforts for a circular economy and resource efficiency. Therefore, the increasing utilization of bitumen additives for infrastructure development in Europe is projected to fuel the growth of the Europe bitumen additives market .
