U.S. asphalt mixing plants market size, by process, 2013 - 2024 (USD Million)

 

Sturdy growth indicators in infrastructure & construction industry shall be responsible for propelling asphalt mixing plants demand in the coming years. The steadily growing road repair and construction business across the globe will be accelerating product demand over the forecast timespan. Asphalt mixing plants are widely used in tunnels, highways, bridges and road construction projects. Furthermore, booming automobile industry in Asia Pacific, particularly China and India, is placing greater demand on countries’ roads, which will eventually increase road construction and repair projects in this region. Additionally, increasing asphalt production globally is likely to fuel the product demand over the forecast timeframe. The U.S and Europe are two major asphalt producers in the globe.

 

The raw materials in asphalt mixing plants market size are machines & equipment and asphalt. Hazardous air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds & aromatic hydrocarbons and particulate emission from asphalt mixing process pose substantial environmental threats, which is likely to hamper the product market growth in the coming years. The environmental pollution caused depends on the type of process (batch and continuous) in asphalt mixing plants. Major companies are adopting environment-friendly and sustainable green technology to tackle the pollution problem. Agencies such as Association of Asphalt Paving Technology, EAPA and NAPA formulate norms and regulations for asphalt mixing plants components, quality and usage.
 

Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: Asphalt Mixing Plants Market

 Asphalt Mixing Plants Market, By Process

Batch asphalt mixing plants market led the global industry in 2016, in terms of revenue. It was worth more than USD 3.8 billion in the same year.
