The market demand for asphalt concrete is increasing and there is an urgent need for industrial transformation and upgrading.

Asphalt concrete, also known as asphalt concrete, is a mixture of road asphalt materials produced according to a certain proportion of gravel, stone chips, mineral powder, crushed gravel, etc., and mixed under strictly controlled conditions. There are many types of asphalt concrete. According to different binders, asphalt concrete can be divided into two categories: petroleum asphalt and coal asphalt. According to the density of the mixture, asphalt concrete can be divided into dense-graded, semi-open-graded and open-graded types. .

Compared with cement concrete pavement, asphalt concrete pavement has the advantages of high strength, smooth driving, no dust, environmental protection, shock and noise reduction, and easy maintenance. At present, my country’s pavements are mainly cement concrete, and there is a large space for asphalt concrete replacement. With the As relevant technologies advance and demand escalates, asphalt concrete will be used in bridges, highways, pedestrian roads and other scenarios, and the industry has good prospects for future development.

According to the “2022-2027 China Asphalt Concrete Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years In recent years, thanks to the increase in highway construction mileage and the acceleration of urbanization, my country’s asphalt concrete market demand has increased year by year, reaching about 480 million tons in 2021. As demand grows, the asphalt concrete market size has also shown an expansion trend. The market size in 2021 Reaching more than 285 billion yuan.

The asphalt concrete industry chain is mainly driven by raw materials such as sand and gravel aggregate and petroleum asphalt. my country has sufficient supply of sand and gravel aggregate and petroleum asphalt, and the development of the asphalt concrete industry has raw material advantages. my country is a major producer of asphalt concrete. In 2021, the output of my country’s asphalt concrete industry will reach 540 million tons. The production capacity is mainly distributed in East China. In addition, the output of asphalt concrete in Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, Hebei and Henan is also high.

Due to the low entry barriers to the industry, there are many asphalt concrete manufacturers in my country, including Zhangzhou Mainland, Hunan Xinxiang, Fuzhou Yonghong, Zhaoqing Keran, Shanghai Haocheng, Wuxi Communications Construction New Materials and other companies, and market competition is intensifying. Asphalt concrete companies in my country vary in size, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, and product quality varies. As environmental protection supervision becomes increasingly strict and raw material costs rise, asphalt concrete companies are facing tremendous pressure to transform and upgrade. In the future, asphalt concrete companies will still need Increase investment in technology and product research and development, improve the performance and quality of asphalt concrete, and reduce production and operating costs.

Industry analysts said that asphalt concrete has better performance than cement concrete. As my country’s infrastructure projects continue to advance, the mileage of bridges and highways has increased. , the market demand for asphalt concrete will be further released, and the industry development prospects are good. There are many asphalt concrete manufacturers in my country. Driven by stricter environmental protection requirements and upgraded consumer demand, the asphalt concrete industry is in urgent need of upgrading. In the future, environmental protection, multi-functionality, colorization, and high-end are expected to become the directions for upgrading asphalt concrete.
