March 24, 2008 - PRLog -- Bharatbook.com, is proud to announce a free report excerpt, table of contents, and ordering information online at "World Asphalt Forecasts for 2011 & 2016 " (http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=71311)

Worldwide demand to grow 2.6% per year through 2011

World demand for asphalt products is projected to increase 2.6 percent per year to 124 million metric tons in 2011. This represents a slight deceleration from the gains posted in the 2001 to 2006 period, mostly due to slowing growth in China, which nonetheless remains the strongest market going forward. Other nations in the Asia/Pacific region will also record above-average advances. Growth prospects will vary widely, with the more developed areas (the United States, Western Europe and Japan) registering relatively slow gains; while developing economies will generally post more robust advances.

Developing regions hold best prospects for asphalt roofing products

Demand for asphalt in roofing products will increase 2.1 percent annually to 16.4 million metric tons in 2011. Gains will benefit from increasing construction activity and growing market penetration in countries where asphalt roofing currently accounts for a relatively small portion of total roofing demand. In parti-cular, opportunities will continue to exist in the Asia/Pacific region (except Japan), Latin America and Eastern Europe.

Asphalt emulsions, polymer modified asphalts to post strongest gains

Paving products, which accounted for 84 percent of world asphalt demand in 2006, will continue to dominate consumption,

reflecting the widespread use of asphalt as a paving material, particularly in de-veloped nations. Asphalt paving materials,

including asphalt cement, emulsions, cutback asphalt and more advanced polymer modified asphalts, are the primary road surfacing materials in use throughout the world. Generally, asphalt emulsions and polymer modified asphalts will post the greatest gains, while asphalt cement and cutback asphalts lag.Study coverageAvailable for $5500, this new industry study, World Asphalt, examines

the 109 million metric ton global market for asphalt. Historical data (1996, 2001, 2006) plus forecasts for 2011 and 2016 are included by product and geographic region. Global demand is presented in millions of metric tons and millions of barrels. The study also considers market environment factors, assesses company market share and profiles 37 participants in the asphalt industry worldwide, such as Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), Valero Energy, Marathon Oil, Chevron, Conoco, Royal Dutch/Shell, Exxon Mobil and BP.
