The ‘Estimated Outputs of Asphalt Plants in Great Britain 2022’ report confirms that the asphalt market has gradually recovered after witnessing a sharp fall in outputs in 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, BDS estimate the asphalt market in Great Britain to be similar to that of 2021, at nearly 28 million tonnes – an increase of around 3 million tonnes since 2020.
More than 30 asphalt-producing companies are identified in the report operating around 250 asphalt plants between them across Great Britain. In 2022, Aggregate Industries became the leading producer of asphalt in GB. The four top producers of asphalt (Aggregate Industries, Tarmac, Heidelberg Materials (formerly Hanson) and Breedon) jointly account for more than 70% of the total GB asphalt market.
