The 2024 Paving Top 50 moved in an unexpected direction this year. In our analysis of the data from 2022 and 2023, which saw a huge amount of growth to the tune of approximately $170 million in paving-only sales, from $742,226,477 to $913,190,892. We predicted that, while the market would not likely see an increase of that magnitude, it would still see some increase due to broader market factors like overall customer demand, inflation, and materials. However, that does not appear to be the case.
