Introduction
Bitumen is an engineered material manufactured through the crude oil distillation at the time of the refining of petroleum. Furthermore, it exists in myriad types and forms. It is a non-volatile dark viscous liquid or semi-solid and can soften slowly after it is heated. It is named by various chemical names in different regions. For instance, in North America, bitumen is referred to as asphalt cement or asphalt binder.
Key Market Growth Drivers
Bituminous membranes find lucrative applications across various construction activities such as the roofing of basements & ground structures and waterproofing of bridges & other structures. For instance, polymer-modified bitumen membranes along with bitumen paints consisting of specialized bitumen products blended with tiny material proportions are applied in waterproofing operations. Furthermore, they are used in sheet form to increase the resistance of concrete structures to damages occurring as a result of moisture, thereby enhancing their lifespan.
Apparently, thriving construction activities witnessed in countries like Japan, India, and China will create humungous demand for bitumen membranes industry over the forecast period. In addition to this, growing urbanization, a surge in Chinese and Indian populace, reduced labor charges, and favorable government programs will steer the market growth over forecasting years.
Moreover, the bitumen membranes industry is fragmented in nature, it is more likely that the firms in the business will try to adopt approaches such as the creation of economies of scale, developing of the experience curve, and standardization of diverse industry needs in order to consolidate their position in the bitumen membranes market.
Asia Pacific To Dominate Overall Market Growth Over 2019-2025
The regional market growth over the forecast timeline is owing to a prominent surge in construction activities in countries like China and India. Moreover, the Chinese authorities have liberalized the regulations to promote the country’s construction programs. Additionally, projects such as smart city mission initiatives and AMRUT launched in India along with large-scale private & public investments in infrastructural development will prop up the market growth over the forecast period.
