Russia’s share of the European bitumen market (asphalt is a type of bitumen) was not large, said Ilya Ponomarev, an expert of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction.
Not that it was not necessary, but until recently Russian asphalt could not boast of high quality. Therefore, the ban on the purchase of Russian asphalt looks strange.
Only Finland, Great Britain and Norway bought more or less large volumes.

Recently, the quality of polymer-bitumen binders has grown in Russia, asphalt has become better, but it is also much more necessary for construction in the country.
In general, the industry is focused on the domestic market and CIS countries, and this limitation is unlikely to be noticed. In addition, there are markets where exports can be diverted, the expert believes.
