Competitive vendor landscape
The global market for modified bitumen is characterized by moderate competition among the leading vendors. These vendors focus on the manufacture of bitumen for different applications such as paving, roofing, industrial applications, and waterproofing. The market is subject to economic conditions in all the countries. Although the demand for modified bitumen for paving of roads and highways is high, vendors in the market also focus on the production of modified bitumen for building construction and waterproofing solutions.
According to Ajay Adikari, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on specialty chemicals, “Vendor performance in the global bitumen market is influenced by the public funding patterns across countries and the feasibility of operation. To outperform the competitors in the market, most of the vendors, such as Colas, specialize in the production and sale of polymer-modified bitumen, which further brings down the cost of installation.”
