Global Ecological Restoration Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Ecological restoration is the process of restoring sites in nature where biomes and ecosystems have been degraded or destroyed. In many ecosystems, humans have altered local flora and fauna, introduced invasive species, converted natural communities to extractive uses (such as agriculture or mining), polluted water bodies, and degraded soil resources.

The business of ecological restoration service providers mainly involves the management of the ecological environment of mines, comprehensive management of desertification, rocky desertification and soil erosion, ecological restoration of infrastructure construction areas such as road slopes, and comprehensive improvement of some sea areas, coastal zones and islands, rivers, Lake and wetland restoration, pollution site treatment, etc.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Ecological Restoration market finds that the global Ecological Restoration market reached a value of USD 54115.5 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 98333.01 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.47% during the forecast period.

The raging COVID-19 has plunged the global economic environment into a depression. The impact of COVID-19 on the ecological restoration industry will involve all major links and all entities in the industry chain. From the perspective of upstream raw materials, in the short term, the impact of supply chain disruption on SMEs is relatively small. According to data, among small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises, about 21.2% of enterprises believe that supply chain disruption is the main pressure. In addition, the outbreak of the epidemic has prompted countries around the world to implement comprehensive traffic control and other measures. This poses a certain threat to global supply chains. This is mainly reflected in the impact of the epidemic on the procurement of raw materials in the industry. Due to the limited production and poor logistics of raw material suppliers, the procurement of raw materials is facing difficulties, but with the progress of the resumption of work and production, this situation will be effectively alleviated.

From the perspective of ecological restoration companies, during the epidemic, the impact of the ecological and environmental protection industry is mainly reflected in the delay in bidding for engineering projects and restrictions on the start of construction. The delay in the construction progress of the existing projects resulted in a delay in payment collection. During the epidemic, the shortage of labor services and materials and the rise in the prices of production factors directly drove the increase in operating costs.

At present, the epidemic situation in some countries around the world has been basically controlled, and the project has resumed normal production and operation. However, if the subsequent epidemics recur, it will still have an adverse impact on business operations. In response to the above risks, on the one hand, enterprises should set up an epidemic prevention and control working group to do a solid and detailed epidemic prevention and control work to ensure the health and safety of staff. On the other hand, enterprises should adjust their business plans in a timely manner according to the progress of the epidemic. Minimize the impact of the epidemic and promote the orderly and stable operation of daily production work.

The release of ecological environment governance demand promotes the growth of the industry market

At present, the global ecological environment is mainly faced with many challenges, such as over-extrusion of natural ecological space, land desertification, degradation and soil erosion, shortage of water resources, severe urban and rural living environment, etc., and the need for environmental governance is urgent. For example, in the past 100 years, the natural landscape has changed dramatically. 70% of the world's grasslands, 50% of savannas and 25% of forests have been logged or converted for agricultural use. When people cut down and burn forests, drain wetlands or clear grasslands, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which was once stored in soils and plants as carbon.
At the same time, with the rapid growth of the global economy, people's increased awareness of the need for a better environment, and policy support, investment in municipal infrastructure, environmental governance and other industries has been strongly promoted, releasing the market demand for ecological and environmental governance. Initiatives such as The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) propose a global recovery movement, increase the political will for recovery action, and improve the technical capacity for high-quality implementation.
In the field of ecological restoration, industries such as mine ecological environment restoration, comprehensive management of desertification, rocky desertification and soil erosion, and ecological restoration of road slopes and other infrastructure construction areas have broad market development prospects, and there will continue to be room for growth in the future.

Enterprise development is limited by financial strength

The industry to which ecological restoration belongs is capital-intensive. Ecological restoration companies generally undertake many projects, and the balance of inventory and accounts receivable is relatively large. The construction period of some ecological restoration projects is long, and there may be risks that the construction period and quality requirements cannot be fulfilled according to the contract due to natural disasters and other factors, resulting in the risk of not being able to accept and collect payments in time. At the same time, there is usually a time difference between the progress payment paid by the client unit and the cash flow expenditure of the enterprise during the project construction process. Therefore, enterprises in the industry need a lot of working capital as support, and the business scale of the projects undertaken will also be limited by the company's financial strength.
In addition, the current market concentration in the ecological restoration industry is low, and companies in the industry are generally small in scale and have limited financing channels. Therefore, financial strength has become a bottleneck restricting the development and growth of companies in the industry.
