The global asphalt market is increasingly focused on sustainable solutions to meet environmental standards and reduce carbon footprints. Recycled asphalt and bio-based additives are gaining traction as industries prioritize eco-friendly practices. For instance, in 2024, Fraport AG, a German transport company, in partnership with startup B2Square, is testing sustainable bio-asphalt made from cashew-based organic bitumen on a 200-meter road section at Frankfurt Airport. This innovative material reduces carbon emissions, enhances durability, and complies with upcoming workplace safety laws. The trial aims to evaluate its performance for potential use in decarbonizing airport operations and supply chains. This shift aligns with the global push for green infrastructure, with construction projects emphasizing sustainability in roads and urban developments. With regulations tighten and consumer awareness grows, companies are investing rapidly into research and development to provide new sustainable asphalt products to these changing markets.

Rising investments in transportation infrastructure, aimed at boosting economic growth and connectivity, are driving the global asphalt market. Governments and private sectors are investing heavily in road construction, airport runways, and bridge projects to support economic growth and improve connectivity. For instance, in November 2024, the Government of Nepal and the World Bank launched the USD 128 million Provincial and Local Roads Improvement Program-Phase 1 to enhance road connectivity, safety, and resilience. The project will upgrade and maintain roads and bridges in three provinces, benefiting about one million people. It emphasizes sustainable, climate-resilient infrastructure and innovative practices for long-term impact. Emerging economies, in particular, are expanding transportation networks to accommodate growing populations and industrialization. The shift towards urbanization is booming in demand for asphalt in building homes and commercial spaces such as parking lots and walkways. Moreover, the strength, durability, and flexibility of asphalt make it a popular choice, for such projects.
