Research and Markets: Market for Bitumen and Additives in Road Infrastructure in South Africa

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7495b6be/market_for_bitumen) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Market for Bitumen and Additives in Road Infrastructure in South Africa" to their offering.

Public Road Maintenance Projects to Promote Demand for Bitumen

The bitumen market is slowly responding to supply shortages with the introduction of trial bitumen mixes on roads in South Africa. The ability to develop new bitumen and admixture technologies that support greater worker safety, enhanced environmental protection and improved road surfacing treatment opens up the market to increased innovation. The future of the bitumen market is likely to be fuelled by new government funded road infrastructure projects in the short- to long-term, notes the analyst of this research. The drive to grow and sustain the bitumen industry due to the supply shortage will be largely influenced by health, environmental and safety concerns in the future.

High chemical fume emissions associated with bitumen have motivated the use of warm mix asphalt in certain regions in South Africa. Novel bitumen technology offers several advantages: lower fuel consumption, reduced carbon emissions and increased worker safety. All these factors will work towards preventing the road construction industry from suffering from the supply shortage of bitumen in the medium-term.
