Earlier Report Observations

The asphalt paving mixtures market in Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced a period of expansion and contraction between 2021 and 2024. Market volume grew by 12% to 862 thousand tons in 2022, driven by increased domestic production, which reached 865 thousand tons that year. However, the following two years saw a sustained decline, with the market shrinking to 637 thousand tons in 2024.

Parallel to this, export activity intensified significantly. From a modest 4.7 thousand tons in 2022, exports surged to 10.7 thousand tons in 2023 and further to 20.3 thousand tons in 2024. This growth in outward shipments coincided with the reduction in domestic market size, suggesting a shift in supply patterns.

The market value showed more pronounced volatility than volume, indicating fluctuating asphalt prices. After a 32% surge to 44.7 million USD in 2022, value dropped in 2023 before recovering to 42.3 million USD in 2024. Industry practices, including research on mix designs for highways like the M18, which emphasized adapting recipes to road categories, contributed to ongoing developments in product specifications.
