The Central Asian bitumen market recorded mixed trends for the week up to October 12, 2025, according to WPB. Kazakh prices were unchanged from the previous week, while those in Uzbekistan decreased by about 7.8% exchange-traded average price for BND-grade bitumen.
Meanwhile, Russian exports to Central Asian countries averaged 1.0% down. This was mainly due to the reinstatement of sales at Novokuybyshek Refinery. Russia exported over 226,000 tons of bitumen to Central Asia by rail since the beginning of 2025 — slightly below last year's volume for this period.
