In 2023, Gabon continued to rely heavily on imports of modified bitumen, with top exporters including Greece, Spain, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Arab Emirates, and Italy. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, while the impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 65.56% highlights a strong demand for modified bitumen. However, the negative growth rate of -23.7% suggests a recent decline in shipments, which could be a point of concern for stakeholders in the industry.

The modified bitumen market in Gabon supports road construction and waterproofing applications. This material`s enhanced durability and performance under extreme weather conditions make it a preferred choice for infrastructure projects.
The Modified Bitumen market in Gabon is propelled by the need for improved road infrastructure and high-performance materials for roofing and paving applications. Modified bitumen offers enhanced durability, resistance to extreme weather conditions, and a longer lifespan, driving its adoption in construction and infrastructure projects. Increased government spending on infrastructure and the demand for sustainable materials further support market growth.
The modified bitumen market in Gabon faces hurdles including high material costs, limited availability of skilled labor for its application, and a lack of government funding for large-scale road infrastructure projects. The absence of widespread awareness about its durability benefits also slows adoption.
Modified bitumen, used in road construction and infrastructure projects, is heavily impacted by Gabons policies focusing on infrastructure development. The governments investment in road networks and construction projects, combined with regulations that favor durable and sustainable materials, supports the modified bitumen market. Tax incentives for local production and import reductions for bitumen products help fuel growth in this sector.
