Asphalt plant control systems are integrated automation and monitoring solutions designed to manage and regulate various processes involved in asphalt production. They control operations such as material proportioning, temperature management, mixing cycles, and storage handling to ensure accurate, efficient, and high-quality asphalt mix production.
The key component types of asphalt plant control systems include hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the physical elements of asphalt plant control systems, including sensors, controllers, and monitoring devices. These systems are categorized into batch plant control systems, drum plant control systems, continuous plant control systems, and others, with capacities ranging from below 100 tons per hour (TPH) to 100-200 tons per hour (TPH) and above 200 tons per hour (TPH). They are used in applications such as road construction, highway development, airport runways, parking lots, and others, and serve end users such as construction companies, government agencies, contractors, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the asphalt plant control systems market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, programmable logic controllers, industrial computers, communication modules, and automation software licenses. Road construction and infrastructure projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported control hardware, while Asia-Pacific faces export cost pressures. These tariffs have increased project setup costs and slowed plant modernization initiatives. However, they are also supporting local automation vendors, regional system integrators, and innovation in scalable and software-driven asphalt plant control solutions.

The asphalt plant control systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.33 billion in 2025 to $1.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of road and highway construction projects, increasing investments in infrastructure development, rising adoption of batch and drum asphalt plants, availability of automation technologies, growing demand for consistent asphalt quality.
The asphalt plant control systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.96 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart infrastructure solutions, rising use of predictive maintenance systems, expansion of sustainable road construction practices, growing focus on emissions reduction, increasing digital transformation of construction equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated asphalt production control, rising integration of real-time monitoring systems, growing demand for energy-efficient plant operations, expansion of data-driven process optimization, enhanced focus on production consistency.
The increasing investment in highway infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the asphalt plant control systems market going forward. Highway infrastructure investment refers to public funding allocated to the construction, expansion, and improvement of roads, bridges, and related transportation facilities. This investment is rising as governments aim to improve connectivity, support economic development, and upgrade aging transportation networks. Asphalt plant control systems support these efforts by automating and optimizing asphalt mixing to deliver consistent, high-quality material for road construction. For example, in September 2024, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reported that federal fund obligations for new highway construction projects in fiscal year 2023 totaled approximately $12.9 billion, with total project costs exceeding $24.0 billion across all improvement types, indicating substantial ongoing investment in road infrastructure. Therefore, increasing highway infrastructure investment is driving the growth of the asphalt plant control systems market.
Major companies operating in the asphalt plant control systems market are focusing on technological advancements such as plant automation systems to enhance production efficiency, ensure precise mix quality, reduce downtime, and improve overall plant safety. A plant automation system is an integrated technology solution that automates and monitors asphalt plant operations, controlling processes such as material feeding, mixing, temperature regulation, and quality management to optimize consistency, efficiency, and safety. For example, in February 2025, Reliable Asphalt Products Inc., a US-based asphalt production company, launched the Blend Pro 2.0 plant controls system at the World of Asphalt 2025. This system provides a significant upgrade in automation and process control capabilities, enabling precise, automated management of all asphalt plant processes. It improves mix consistency, enhances operational efficiency, and increases safety through closed-loop architecture and advanced diagnostics that help prevent equipment failures. A user-friendly interface also streamlines mix design updates and reporting. This specialized solution allows producers to boost output, minimize downtime, and achieve reliable, high-quality asphalt production.
In July 2024, FAYAT Group, a France-based provider of road-building and construction equipment, acquired Asphalt Drum Mixers LLC (ADM) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens FAYAT's presence in the North American market and enables the integration of ADM's asphalt plant manufacturing capabilities into FAYAT's existing road equipment portfolio. Asphalt Drum Mixers LLC is a US-based manufacturing company that provides asphalt plant control systems.
