Application segments are adhesives, roadways, insulation, waterproofing, and others. Roadways held over three-fourths of the total volumes in 2013. Booming infrastructural projects including road networks in developed & developing regions boost this segment.

North America generated more than 29% of the overall demand. Extensive regional road network is the key reason for its dominance. The repair & maintenance of roads can lead to sustained demand in North America.

However, China and Asia Pacific could grow faster than the former. Rapid infrastructural developments in South Korea, India, and China are predicted to drive this growth. The worldwide bitumen market is highly fragmented. Its leading players encompass British Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, NuStar Energy, and Shell Bitumen.
