The Americas asphalt market has faced a changing business environment with the evolution of the refining industry and the global economic recession.  Asphalt-producing refiners are looking closely at economics to produce asphalt and alternative products when deciding their final refinery output. At the same time, asphalt demand in the Americas has been weaker than some other regions of the world, primarily due to the dramatic slide in US demand over the last six years.

Celebrating its 5th year, the Argus Americas Asphalt Summit will bring together experts for a comprehensive analysis of fundamentals impacting the asphalt business in the Americas now and in the near future.
