Growth Opportunities in the Carbon Credits Market, Global, 2024–2030


Carbon Credits Experiencing Transformational Growth due to Net-zero Commitments and New Technologies

The Paris Agreement set ambitious targets to progressively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on national plans, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Consequently, carbon pricing and crediting instruments were introduced to reduce global emissions by applying a price to the GHGs emitted by a certain activity, leading to the creation of several systems worldwide based on either carbon taxes or emissions trading systems (ETSs). Apart from governments enforcing these carbon targets through legally binding systems, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their actions, pressing companies to incorporate sustainable practices to maximize profit and sales. The legal requirement to offset emissions differentiates both segments of the carbon market. While the compliance market is constructed around ETSs and carbon taxes established by government policies, the voluntary market consists of the proactive purchase of carbon credits to reduce a company’s or an individual’s carbon footprint.

The study analyzes the global carbon credits market from a regional perspective, focusing on the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), comparing metrics, such as policy development, investment, and funding. A detailed assessment of carbon projects and credits is presented as well, analyzing the market through the lens of Frost & Sullivan’s 6P Framework, covering policies, products, processes, personas, partnerships, and platforms.

Some of the key growth opportunities in the market include carbon insurance, the implementation of blockchain technologies for enhanced transparency, and government-led voluntary carbon markets.
