Bitumen Price | Global Export Prices by Hub

Bitumen Price Today featured image showing a black bitumen barrel, global export hub map, and USD per metric ton market overview

This Bitumen price report dated September 13, 2026 contains 130 planning references across 17 export-origin and terminal markets: 127 rows in the FOB/FCA comparison and 3 U.S. state indices shown separately below. Displayed values range from USD 290–1,004 per metric tonne. Penetration, viscosity, performance and oxidized grades are separated by origin, packaging and commercial basis. Public transparency varies by hub, so each row should be reconfirmed for current allocation, COA, quantity, laycan, payment route and compliance before contracting.

Bitumen Country Average Price Map

Map values summarize 60/70 references where available and terminal references for India and Canada. The U.S. value summarizes September 2026 state indices. These averages combine different grades and packing; they are not directly comparable supplier offers. All values are USD per metric tonne (1,000 kg).

Methodology and Commercial Scope

Hub eligibility

The FOB/FCA comparison gives planning references for identified loading origins. U.S. state contract-adjustment indices appear in a separate section for market context, not as export quotations. A delivered or factory-gate price must not be treated as FOB/FCA without a documented basis.

Price hierarchy

Prefer dated direct origin quotations for procurement. An official index provides market context but does not by itself establish an export price, supplier, packing or Incoterm. Reconfirm every commercial reference before ordering.

Technical discipline

PEN, VG, PG and oxidized grades are shown separately. The Pen 60/70 rows follow the 13 September 2026 hub comparison. South Korea is included in the published Pen 60/70 assessment category; other grades are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm the contract specification and current COA.

Global Bitumen Prices by Export Hub

Iran

Iran combines the validated PEN 60/70 port, production-origin and land-corridor set with separately dated FOB observations for selected penetration, VG, AH, PG and oxidized grades. The map metric uses only the 60/70 dataset so other grades do not distort that benchmark.

U.S. State Asphalt Indices — September 2026

Sources, dates and units

The VDOT adjustment-index table lists September 2026 values of USD 857.72/metric ton for PG 64-S-22 and USD 1,004.19/metric ton for PG 64-E-22. The displayed values are rounded. VDOT uses PG 76-22 in its October headline; this report retains the September source label without asserting grade equivalence or polymer chemistry.

The NCDOT DF00564 proposal, page R-5 (PDF page 45) records a September 1, 2026 index of USD 762.50 per ton. NCDOT 2024 specifications, section 109-1 define ton as a 2,000-pound short ton. Multiplying by 1.102311 gives approximately USD 840.51/metric tonne, displayed as USD 841.

Source check: October 24, 2026. Observation month: September 2026. Checking a source does not make these figures current supplier offers.

Usage and Risk Notes

  • These values are planning references, not binding offers. Reconfirm the exact producer, grade, packing, quantity and validity before issuing a purchase order.
  • FOB and FCA are not interchangeable. Destination freight, insurance, import charges, duties and local delivery are excluded from the commercial references; U.S. state indices are separate benchmarks, not export quotations.
  • Active exporters without a supportable public FOB/FCA number are intentionally omitted from the priced tables rather than estimated from CFR/CIF/EXW values.
  • Local-currency India and Canada references are converted to USD/MT using the September 13, 2026 exchange-rate snapshot; commercial invoices may use a different conversion date.
  • Iran and Venezuela transactions require enhanced sanctions, banking, vessel, insurer, beneficial-ownership and destination screening.
  • Current regional shipping and fuel-oil volatility can move executable values faster than published benchmark updates.

Bitumen Price FAQ

What does Latest Price mean?

It is a dated planning reference for the stated grade, origin and packing, not a guaranteed executable offer. The separate U.S. section uses a September Index column for state benchmarks. Request a dated supplier quotation before ordering.

Why are some major exporters absent?

Trade volume alone is not enough. A country is withheld from the priced table when no current or still-supportable public FOB/FCA value can be shown without inference from a delivered or factory-gate price.

Why do observation dates differ?

Price transparency differs by market. Check each observation date and basis before comparing offers. The U.S. state indices retain their September 2026 observation month and are shown separately from the commercial references.

Can regional grades be substituted?

No. PEN, VG, PG and oxidized grades follow different specifications. Confirm the contract standard and current COA before technical acceptance.

What should an RFQ include?

Specify grade and standard, accepted producer/origin, quantity, net packing weight, loading point, destination, laycan, inspection, documents, Incoterm and payment terms.

How often should prices be reconfirmed?

Reconfirm before contracting and again before vessel, container or truck booking, especially during volatile crude, HSFO, freight or geopolitical conditions.
