40 percent of Recycled Asphalt revenue from Patch Material and Road Aggregates
The demand of recycled asphalt has just witnessed huge growth due to rising petroleum prices across the globe.
Recycled asphalt plays an important role in improving the performance and durability of road surfaces of gravel constructed road. Along with durability it also minimizes the noise of road, emersion of road dust and misplacement of gravels from the roads. It also provides high performance in temporary road construction.
Demand has increased as a use for patch materials and road aggregates due to the benefits of the toughness of mixture, which remains highly durable and long lasting. It also costs less compared to other mixtures.
A report published by Fact.MR, an ESOMAR-certified market research and consulting firm, estimates the global recycled asphalt market is anticipated to exceed a valuation of around US$6,970 million by 2021, and is expected to expand at an impressive CAGR of around 4.5% over the forecast period of 2021 to 2031.
