Increasing Government Investments for Infrastructure Development Drive Europe Construction Additives Market

The government-supported infrastructure projects generally include roads, dams, bridges, tunnels, ports, airport pavements, and highways. The growing investments from government organizations lead to a rise in infrastructure construction. In 2022, the Department for Transport of the UK announced the funding of US$ 34.83 million to develop net zero highways.

Furthermore, according to the European Commission, in June 2022, the European Union planned to invest US$ 5.0 billion in sustainable, safe, and efficient transport infrastructure. Further, the European economy relies heavily on the construction sector. With over 3 million businesses, the sector accounts for around 9% of the European Union's (EU) GDP.

In 2021, the European Union (EU) invested 5.6% of its GDP in housing. This percentage varied throughout the member states, ranging from 7.6% in Cyprus, 7.2% in Germany, 2.1% in Ireland, and 2.2% in Latvia to 2.3% in Poland. In January 2024, the European Climate, Environment, and Infrastructure Executive Agency received ~ 400 applications requesting US$ 20 billion for transport infrastructure projects. The rising population propels the demand for public infrastructure and the development of new transport networks and residential structures.

As per the data published by the European Union in 2023, the EU's population increased from 446.7 million in January 2022 to 448.4 million in January 2023. In 2021, various construction projects were commenced that included A303/A30/A358 Road Corridor Improvement, E39 Herdal-Royskar Motorway, Nizhnekamsk-Naberezhnye Chelny Bypass, Banja Luka-Prijedor-Novi Grad Motorway, and Llogara Tunnel.

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, infrastructure development fueled by government initiatives drives the construction additives market growth.

Europe Construction Additives Market Overview

Europe is a prominent region, encompassing potential economies such as Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Poland, contributing to the growth of the construction additives market. Europe is one of the largest producers of construction materials, operated by small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that supply construction materials to local and regional markets. According to the European Commission, the construction industry is one of the major industries in Europe, contributing ~9% to the region's GDP.

As per the European Commission, in June 2023, the EU invested ~US$ 6 billion for the construction of sustainable, safe, and efficient transport infrastructure, including 107 transport infrastructure projects. A few of the bitumen additives are manufactured from recycled materials, which support the government's efforts for a circular economy and resource efficiency. Therefore, the increasing utilization of sustainable construction additives for infrastructure development in Europe is projected to fuel the growth of the construction additives market.
