Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2020, production of tarred macadam in Romania increased from 518 thousand tons to 784 thousand tons. This growth was primarily driven by rising demand from national infrastructure programs, which required more asphalt for road construction. Despite limited domestic bitumen production capacity, the overall market volume expanded as infrastructure investments accelerated.
Production declined to 621 thousand tons in 2021 and further to 410 thousand tons in 2022. The drop in 2021 coincided with higher bitumen and construction material prices, which increased paving costs and likely slowed down road projects. The market contraction continued in 2022, though major public paving investments were announced, suggesting that external cost pressures outweighed immediate demand stimuli.
The market rebounded in 2023, with production reaching 466 thousand tons, and grew sharply to 637 thousand tons in 2024. This recovery brought output close to the 2020 peak, indicating a resurgence in infrastructure activity.
