EAPA's comprehensive overview of the latest available production figures of the European asphalt industry shows that in 2019 the total production of hot and warm mix increased by 0.4% to 241.4 million tonnes for EU-28. However, when Norway, Switzerland and Turkey are included, the total production reduced by 6.1% to 279.7 million tonnes. A key factor was the drop of production in Turkey, from 41.7 million tonnes in 2018 to 23.5 million tonnes in 2019 (-43,6%). Due to this, Germany became in 2019 the number one asphalt producing country in Europe with a total production of 40 million tonnes, followed by France with 35.8 million tonnes. Some 52.6 million tonnes of RAP was available in in 18 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the UK, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. Of this, Germany accounted for 28% at 13.4 million tonnes, while Italy accounted for 20% and 9.5 million tonnes, France for 17% at 8 million tonnes and the UK for 12% at 6.5 million tonnes. Meanwhile, the rest of the countries jointly represent just 23% of the total. |
