Use of Bitumen in Waterproofing Solutions Rising to Maintain Longevity and Structural Integrity of Buildings.
Rockville, MD, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global bitumen market has been thoroughly studied and is estimated at US$ 76.2 billion in 2024. Fact.MR has projected the market to generate revenue worth US$ 116 billion by the end of 2034.
Sales of bitumen are rising, driven by the escalating number of construction projects worldwide. Bitumen serves as a vital component and foundation for infrastructure construction, encompassing roads, highways, roofing, and waterproofing.
Bitumen plays a crucial role in waterproofing applications within the construction sector, as it functions as a foundation sealant, waterproofing compound, and roof membrane. The increasing demand for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings underscores the growing significance of waterproofing on a global scale.
Beneficial properties of bitumen make it an excellent barrier against water intrusion, thereby ensuring the durability and strength of structures. Whether used to seal the foundation of a commercial building or to shield a home’s roof from inclement weather, bitumen-based materials are critical to modern construction.

Focus on Development of Polymer-Modified Bitumen with Enhanced Fatigue Performance:
Bitumen 4.0 is opening up new income opportunities for companies in the bitumen industry. The production of polymer-modified bitumen (PMB), which enhances fatigue performance and deformation resistance, is growing among manufacturers. This helps create long-lasting pavements, which is important for road networks that receive government funding.
Safety goals of road authorities and the government are aligned with advanced bitumen solutions. To increase skid resistance and create textured, multicolored asphalt, these treatments are mixed with asphalt. The need for advanced bitumen solutions is increasing due to the installation of bike lanes, bus stops, and bus lanes.
Bitumen Industry News:
In November 2023, Omnipotent Industries Ltd. started commercial operations at its new bitumen processing plant in Kandla. The Gujarat-based factory guarantees access to raw materials and delivery. This transaction is intended to enhance Omnipotent’s supply chain, improving market responsiveness and aligning with the company’s overall sustainability mission.
In September 2023, GOIL PLC entered the West African bitumen industry by offering novel products, especially polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and bitumen emulsion, as part of its continuous diversification strategy. The US$ 45 million project is a joint venture between GOIL PLC and Côte d’Ivoire’s Société Multinationale de Bitumes (SMB).
In July 2020, Total SA, a French energy behemoth, and India’s top oil corporation, Indian Oil Corp (IOC), formed a 50:50 joint venture to manufacture and distribute high-quality bitumen derivatives and specialist goods for India’s burgeoning road-building sector.
