In 2024, Ireland`s bitumen import market continued to be dominated by key suppliers including the UK, Metropolitan France, Turkey, Netherlands, and Spain. Despite a high level of market concentration, the industry experienced a significant compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.99% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable decline in growth from 2023 to 2024, with a negative growth rate of -19.32%. This trend suggests a potential shift in market dynamics or external factors influencing the import landscape for bitumen in Ireland.

By 2027, the Bitumen market in Ireland is anticipated to reach a growth rate of -0.00%, as part of an increasingly competitive Europe region, where Germany remains at the forefront, supported by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
