The remaining European countries captured a varying share, ranging from 0.2% to 6.5%, demonstrating diverse market dynamics within the European market.

The US was the key market within the North American paving materials market in 2011, as it constituted a share of 83.9%. However, the total North American paving materials market recorded a CAGR of 2.17%, as the demand for paving materials from the construction industry in the country declined as a result of the recession. The North American paving materials market is expected to recover and grow at a CAGR of 3.11% over the forecast period.
