Global Green Building Materials Market Size More Than Doubles to Reach Whopping USD 857 Billion by 2030
Global Green Building Materials Market is flourishing due to the increasing demand for insulation and energy efficient buildings and favorable government policies for green buildings.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Global Green Building Materials Market size at USD 420 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, BlueWeave expects the Global Green Building Materials Market size to expand at a CAGR of 10.73% reaching a value of USD 857 billion by 2030. The Global Green Building Materials Market is propelled by the increasing demand for energy-efficient structures that adhere to green building standards, the advantages associated with green buildings, and the increasing trends in urbanization coupled with a surge in disposable income. The trend of using green building materials instead of traditional construction materials is also expected to contribute to market growth. Green building materials have the benefit of reducing carbon footprints, which helps in reducing global warming. They are also energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, easy to maintain, and cost-effective. Hence, they are becoming the preferred choice over conventional construction materials. Another factor contributing to the market growth is the growing demand for these materials in construction projects that minimizes the environmental impact associated with manufacturing, installation, processing, transportation, recycling, and disposal of building materials. The shift in preference towards green building materials is projected to further boost the market growth. Also, the proactive implementation of policies and incentives by governments in developed countries to promote green construction is expected to increase the demand for green building materials over the forecast period.
Opportunities – Adoption of technological advancements
Rapid adoption of advancements in technology could propel the surge in demand for sustainable building materials. As industries increasingly adopt sustainable practices, the construction sector witnesses a growing need for green building materials to mitigate environmental impacts such as pollution, waste, and high energy use. These materials not only aid in regulatory compliance but also offer long-term benefits, including energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced property values. Concurrently, the construction of smart cities amplifies the demand for green materials, utilizing sustainable materials to reduce carbon footprints and uphold air quality. Aligned with smart city goals, green building materials, featuring high energy efficiency, are integral in various smart city projects across countries.
Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Global Green Building Materials Market
The Global Green Building Materials Market is significantly impacted by geopolitical tensions, particularly within the EU construction sector, which faces disruptions compounded by the ongoing conflict. These challenges include supply chain disruptions and spikes in energy and raw material prices. Notably, Italy's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport reports a substantial increase in raw material costs since February 2023, attributing it to the Russia-Ukraine war. These elevated costs, combined with broader impacts on the construction industry, necessitate a careful assessment of the sanctions' repercussions, as contractors grapple with rising expenses. Green building, characterized by sustainable practices, is particularly affected, as industry showcases resilience amid profit declines and skilled labor shortages. Companies are urged to stay flexible, proactive, and efficient for sustained profitability, recognizing their crucial role in global growth and essential infrastructure provision, particularly within the context of the Global Green Building Materials Market.
