The requirement for repair and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure creates a constant demand for bitumen additives. Bitumen additives enhance the performance of asphalt pavements and extend the service life of roads. In 2022, Haskell Lemon Construction Co was awarded US$ 9 million contract by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission of the US for resurfacing roads to extend the pavement life and upgrade driving conditions. In 2023, the Colorado Department of Transportation in the US invested US$ 17.6 million in addressing road conditions and repairing 12 stretches of roadways. High-quality asphalt pavements can readily support high traffic volume in urban areas and cities, major transportation corridors. Bitumen additives enhance the strength and resistance of pavements, reducing the need for repair. Therefore, growing construction and rehabilitation activities across the world drive the bitumen additives market growth.
