Abstract
The research developed describes a methodology based on trends and scenarios to understand the dynamics of the bitumen industry at country level in order to identify business opportunities in this sector. This methodology is supported by the concept of information management, which is used by organizations, institutions and corporations to identify, assemble, collect, process and analyzes information carefully in a decision-making process to develop new businesses or optimize existing ones. It has been developed based on different tools, such as identification of reliable sources of information, statistical analysis of future events using historical data, the use and/or development of statistical forecasts. The issues have been linked in a systematic sequence that facilitate our understanding of the evolution of the bitumen industry but mainly of what will be its future for the next four years.
