Bitumen Impregnated Fibreboard Market Report 2026

The bitumen impregnated fibreboard market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2025 to $1.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of construction and infrastructure projects, increasing use of durable building materials, adoption of moisture-resistant boards, growth in industrial insulation demand, availability of standardized fibreboard products.

The bitumen impregnated fibreboard market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.68 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable building materials, rising focus on fire safety compliance, expansion of infrastructure refurbishment projects, growing adoption in automotive and electrical industries, increasing preference for long-lasting construction components. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in expansion joint applications, rising demand for water-resistant construction boards, growing adoption in acoustic and thermal insulation uses, expansion of fire-resistant fibreboard variants, enhanced focus on long-term structural durability.

The rising demand for construction materials is anticipated to drive the growth of the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market in the coming years. Construction materials include raw materials, manufactured products, and composites used across building, construction, and infrastructure sectors to create structures, buildings, roads, and other physical assets. This demand is increasing due to rising energy costs, which elevate production and transportation expenses. As construction materials see higher demand, reliance on bitumen impregnated fibreboards also grows, since they offer crucial moisture protection and joint flexibility that help maintain the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure. For example, in May 2022, the Master Builders Association of NSW, an Australian building and construction industry body, reported that building material costs rose by 4.2% in 2022 and were 15.4% higher year-on-year, with reinforcing steel increasing by 43.5% and steel beams by 41.5%. Hence, the growing demand for construction materials is boosting the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market.

The rising demand for construction materials is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market in the coming years. Construction materials include raw materials, manufactured goods, and composites utilized in building, construction, and infrastructure projects to develop structures, buildings, roads, and other physical assets. The need for construction materials is increasing due to rising energy costs, which boost production and transportation expenses. High demand for construction materials leads to greater dependence on bitumen impregnated fibreboards, as they offer vital moisture protection and joint flexibility, supporting the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure. For example, in July 2024, the U.S. Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2024, over 46,000 residential projects were certified under the LEED green building rating system, with 2023 witnessing nearly a 5% increase in new LEED residential project registrations. Consequently, the growing demand for construction materials is fueling the growth of the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market.

The government investments in infrastructure development is expected to fuel the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market growth. Such investments involve funding for building and upgrading critical physical systems such as roads, bridges, utilities, and public facilities. The increase in infrastructure spending is driven by government initiatives to promote economic growth and expand public services, which enhances national productivity and connectivity. This investment supports the use of bitumen impregnated fibreboards, which are essential in construction joints to accommodate movement and moisture, ensuring the durability of roads, bridges, and public buildings. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that infrastructure investment reached $17.8 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% rise compared to 2022. Thus, government infrastructure investments are driving the growth of the bitumen impregnated fibreboard market.
