From 2016 to 2020, there was a notable decreasing trend in the volume of dolomite sold or used for construction purposes as bituminous surface-treatment aggregate in the US, dropping annually from 408.89 to 165.29 thousand metric tons. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -19.78%. Although data stands until 2023, assuming continued trends, the volume likely remained low, reflecting decreasing demand or shifts in construction practices.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in construction materials due to sustainability practices.
- Changes in infrastructure policies that may impact dolomite demand.
- Technological advancements in construction that might introduce alternative aggregates.
