According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Porous Asphalt Market is expected to reach USD million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The use of porous asphalt is increasing across the globe due to the tightening of environmental regulations and the concern of urban flooding, driving developers to adopt pavements with greater water absorption, decreased runoff, and enhanced water quality. Porous asphalt is regarded as a vital material of sustainable drainage systems due to its high permeability, capacity to capture pollutants, and long service life, including applications in highways and parking lots, recreational surfaces, and green cover in cities. This has also been bolstered by the use of high-performance, sponge-city-compatible porous asphalt as a replacement for traditional, impermeable pavements to reduce runoff, mitigate heat island effects, and reduce the load on sewer systems. Market expansion also entails the strategic use of polymer-modified binders, optimization of aggregate gradation, and multilayer pavements to address clogging, enhance mechanical strength, and improve long-term filtration performance. At the same time, developments in smart city infrastructure and connected monitors over the past year have raised expectations that pavements will become part of sensor and data networks, and that drainage networks will become measurable, manageable, and adaptable to future climate change challenges.

Segments that transform the industry
- The Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share and continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is primarily because OGFC is commonly used as a wide-band, permeable surface layer in high-traffic roadways when agencies seek rapid surface drainage, improved wet-weather friction, and reduced splash-and-spray without necessarily reconstructing the entire road surface. The characteristics of OGFC that make it relatively easy to install as an overlay are also appreciated, as they allow owners to enhance the facility's safety performance without adding significant weight to the structure and causing minimal interference with existing assets. Moreover, to balance between permeability and durability (e.g., raveling resistance) through aggregate gradation control, binder adjustment, and stabilizing additives, OGFC mix designs can be tuned to support consistent operations across varying rainfall intensity and traffic loading. The Permeable Asphalt Pavement segment, however, is likely to expand with the fastest rate of increase as the stormwater compliance and urban-flood mitigation requirements continue to accelerate, particularly full-depth permeable systems with stone reservoirs deployed to contain the runoff at the source.
According to the report, the impact of the Porous Asphalt has been identified as high for the Asia Pacific region. Some of how this impact has been felt include:
The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global asphalt market and is expected to continue to do so over the forecast period. The rapid urbanization, massive expansion of transportation systems, and increasing investments in climate-resilient, flood-prevention infrastructure have given the Asia-Pacific region a competitive edge in the global porous asphalt market, particularly in China, Japan, and India. The intensity of rainfall in most sub-markets (monsoon-driven conditions), dense urbanization, and the increase in impervious surface area have increased demand for pavement solutions that enhance surface drainage and minimize runoff impacts. Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region has a broad network of road construction services, asphalt manufacturers, and municipal project pipelines, which enables the more rapid implementation of open-graded and permeable pavement technologies on highways, urban streets, parking lots, and civic amenities. As infrastructure modernization accelerates and wet-weather driving becomes more safety-oriented, performance advantages of adopting porous asphalt include reduced splash-and-spray, improved skid resistance, and a reduced risk of hydroplaning. The current transition to sustainable stormwater management, the desire for quieter urban corridors, and the pursuit of improved lifecycle performance through changes to binders and mix design further enhance market development in the region.
