Brazil Bitumen Market Demand and Import Opportunity

Brazil’s road network is one of the largest in the world, requiring enormous volumes of cimento asfáltico de petróleo (CAP) for construction, resurfacing, and maintenance. The federal highway authority DNIT oversees pavement standards across the country’s extensive rodovias federais network. According to the ANP Statistical Yearbook, national demand for road-building bitumen expanded by 7% in 2023 and a further 5% in 2024. Import volumes surged again in Q1 2026, with approximately 85,000 metric tons of bitumen and asphalt products entering the Brazilian market in just the first quarter, far above prior-year levels, increasing demand for a reliable international bitumen exporter.

Brazil's Bitumen Import Structure

Petrobras refineries, particularly REDUC (Rio de Janeiro) and REVAP (São José dos Campos) cover approximately two-thirds of total requirements. The remaining one-third (roughly 700,000+ MT/year) is sourced internationally, primarily through major import ports and international Tiger  Bitumen Supplier partners.

Import volumes spike during Brazil’s dry paving season (May–September), when road construction activity peaks across multiple states. Market activity improved sharply in Q1 2026 heading into election-driven infrastructure spending.

Key Import Sources (Petroleum Bitumen): USA (Gulf Coast), UAE, Turkey, Iran, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia. Tiger Bitumen competes directly in this import market from its Karachi Free Zone facility as a rising Bitumen Supplier in Brazil.

Brazil’s Brazilian Grade Standard: Bitumen is classified by DNIT as CAP (Cimento Asfáltico de Petróleo) CAP 35/50, CAP 50/70, CAP 85/100, CAP 150/200 using penetration-based grading (DNIT ME 155) rather than viscosity grades used elsewhere.
