Asphalt Additives Market Report 2026

The asphalt additives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.73 billion in 2025 to $5.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of road infrastructure projects, growth of urban transportation networks, rising vehicle traffic volumes, adoption of modified asphalt technologies, availability of polymer additives.

The asphalt additives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable road construction, rising adoption of low-temperature asphalt mixes, expansion of airport and highway projects, growing focus on long-life pavements, increasing demand for eco-friendly additives. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of polymer-modified asphalt, rising adoption of warm mix technologies, expansion of bio-based asphalt additives, increased focus on pavement durability, enhanced resistance to cracking and deformation.

The increase in road construction projects is expected to drive the growth of the asphalt additives market going forward. Road construction projects involve organized efforts to design, build, and maintain roads or highways to ensure safe and efficient transportation. This growth is primarily driven by rapid urbanization, as expanding cities require improved transportation infrastructure to support increasing populations, commerce, and connectivity. Asphalt additives enhance road construction by improving pavement durability, increasing resistance to cracks and deformation, and enabling faster, more cost-effective construction. For example, in October 2024, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a US-based Department of Transportation agency, reported that highway construction costs rose at an annualized rate of 9.6% in the first quarter of 2024, marking a 2.4% increase compared to the last quarter of 2023. Therefore, the rise in road construction projects is driving the asphalt additives market.

Key companies in the asphalt additives market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as eco-friendly and performance-enhancing additives, to improve road durability and sustainability. These additives are chemical compounds added to asphalt that reduce environmental impact while enhancing road strength, flexibility, and longevity. For instance, in February 2024, Shrieve Chemical Company LLC, a US-based chemical company, launched the PROGILINE ECO-T organic asphalt additives. The PROGILINE ECO-T Anti-Strip Additive improves adhesion between aggregates and bitumen, enhancing durability by preventing moisture damage and compensating for lower-quality materials. The PROGILINE ECO-T Warm Mix Additive allows mixing at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption and emissions while accelerating road construction. The PROGILINE ECO-T Cold Mix Additive provides a safe, organic option for asphalt patching, free from hazardous substances.

In July 2024, FAYAT Group, a France-based construction and infrastructure solutions company, acquired Asphalt Drum Mixers LLC (ADM) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand FAYAT’s presence in the North American asphalt production market and enhance its technological capabilities in asphalt mixing solutions. Asphalt Drum Mixers LLC, based in the US, specializes in manufacturing high-quality asphalt mixing equipment and providing related services for road construction projects.
