Germany leads European bitumen exports with a share of 19.48 GWh, having experienced modest growth of 1.23% last year. Italy and Greece follow with 12.37 GWh and 12.08 GWh, respectively, showing Italy's slight decline and Greece’s notable growth. Spain showed a decline of over 10%, contrasting with the Netherlands’ strong 14.42% increase. Noteworthy are Lithuania and Slovakia's substantial growth rates of 17.37% and 18.06%, while Latvia surged by 177.38%. Smaller countries like Bulgaria and Albania experienced tremendous growth of 84.17% and 24.52%, respectively, though from low bases.
Future trends to watch include the potential for continued growth in smaller markets driven by infrastructure development and road construction. The Netherlands may continue its upward trajectory with strategic investments. Increasing environmental regulations might impact production and export capabilities, influencing country shares. Eastern European countries could play expanding roles as they modernize infrastructure.
