About Bitumen 60/70 Pricing

Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 is the most widely traded road-paving bitumen grade globally, produced as a heavy residual fraction from vacuum distillation of crude oil. Northwest Europe (Rotterdam/ARA) and the Mediterranean are the primary European pricing hubs.

Bitumen prices track Brent crude closely but carry their own seasonal demand cycle — road construction and paving activity peaks in warmer months, while refinery vacuum-residue output depends on the crude slate being processed.

Key Bitumen 60/70 Price Drivers

Brent crude price — the primary feedstock cost for vacuum-residue bitumen
Refinery crude slate — heavier, more sulphurous crudes yield more bitumen
Seasonal paving demand — road construction activity peaks in spring/summer
Infrastructure spending — government road and highway investment programmes
Freight and logistics costs — bitumen requires heated transport and storage
