Current Scenario of the Global Carbon Footprint Management Market

Companies are highly adopting carbon footprint management software in verticals due to the need to comply with carbon emissions. This has escalated the call for carbon footprint management software in all industries. Increasing government initiatives around the world are supposed to drive the expansion of the carbon footprint management market. The carbon footprint is a measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly or indirectly support certain activities, which can be driven by humans or machines. The global carbon footprint management market is made up of solutions and services that help manage carbon footprint. In recent years, the worldwide market has grown significantly. Growing concerns about climate change, worldwide warming, and the need for an international agreement on carbon emissions have fueled the expansion of the market.

MARKET TRENDS

Factors supporting the expansion of the worldwide carbon footprint management market include further implementation of a standardized regulatory framework and government initiatives to promote low-carbon policies. Growing concerns about corporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs among companies are predicted to drive this market. The escalating implementation of analytics to use the information gleaned from data and its associated processes to improve decision-making is also predicted to drive this market.

MARKET DRIVERS

Carbon footprint management is examining and focusing on those business areas where cost reduction can be achieved by minimizing energy consumption, consumption of raw materials, and generation of waste.

The worldwide carbon footprint management market is made up of solutions and services that help manage a company's carbon footprint. The carbon footprint management market has grown significantly in recent years, with the level of government support and market call being the most important factor on the horizon. Today, all industries are responsible to some extent for escalating GHG emissions, with the oil and gas and aerospace industries being the main visible offenders. But, with escalating pressure from consumers and regulations, all companies are forced to manage their carbon footprint. Industries are very much aware of the need to strategically manage their energy consumption. Effective carbon footprint management involves a number of activities, such as measuring the carbon footprint impact of various business activities, identifying and implementing reduction and control strategies, and then communicating achievements to stakeholders. Energy management and carbon footprint are highly becoming vital attributes of modern businesses. In recent years, both have emerged as significant challenges and an opportunity to create long-term value for stakeholders. To meet these challenges and achieve results, companies seek in-depth engineering and consulting expertise.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost associated with replacing existing infrastructure with greener, low-carbon infrastructure is predicted to be one of the constraints to the expansion of the worldwide carbon footprint management market.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

The global carbon footprint management market is supposed to experience immense expansion opportunities through the modernization of telecommunications and IT infrastructure. Managing the carbon footprint, which is highly important for energy-intensive industries, should offer favourable expansion paths in this market. The shift to ultra-low emissions transportation is also predicted to drive market expansion. Furthermore, support for the carbon trading market is predicted to provide opportunities for market expansion. The expansion of the carbon footprint management market is driven by factors such as escalating awareness and reporting among companies, the call to minimize carbon emissions through efficient operations, the need to reduce operating costs, mandatory regulations, and corporate carbon footprint management policies. sustainability and CSR programs escalated costs and call for primary energy sources. Today, most companies go through a rigorous process to calculate and manage their carbon emissions. Carbon footprint management solutions must play a fundamental role in the development and implementation of the green initiatives taken by these companies, aimed at strengthening their reputation as leaders in sustainable development, differentiating them from their competitors. In line with this objective, companies dedicate a significant part of their budget to managing their carbon emissions and a significant part of these investments must go to the carbon footprint management market.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Lack of clarity in the regulatory landscape and strategic benchmarking is also predicted to hamper expansion. The high initial investment is predicted to present barriers to the entry of new players in this market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL CARBON FOOTPRINT MANAGEMENT MARKET

COVID-19 has definitely pushed the O&G industry to sit down and reconsider what should be included in business continuity plans. However, leaders who take this opportunity to start thinking about the pervasive changes needed to their operating models, using a combination of an agile operating mindset, a long-term vision, and partner ecosystems, faster than others, will probably come out stronger as the dust settles. The O&G industry is generally competent in disaster response and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a variety of disaster scenarios in the past. With COVID-19 as well, the industry has performed quite well so far, as evidenced by near-continuous operations and the availability of different fuels, almost throughout the country. However, most O&G CXOs believe that the sector's recovery is likely to be longer than predicted.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Carbon Footprint Management Market Analysis By Service

The cloud-based deployment mode provides better control over data, as well as reduced risk of data loss and regulatory compliance issues. Due to these advantages, many companies are opting for cloud-based solutions to ensure security.

Global Carbon Footprint Management Market Analysis By Vertical

Energy and utilities are vertical to maintain the largest market size during the foreseen period. According to the IEA, energy use has escalated worldwide to roughly double the average expansion rate since 2021.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

North America is predicted to have a substantial market share for the foreseeable future, with expansion largely attributable to a comparatively established regulatory framework and escalated spending on carbon footprint management solutions. However, emerging markets such as South America and Asia-Pacific are supposed to show promising expansion in the long term. This is due to rapid industrialization, escalated foreign investment, and government subsidies for carbon management programs in the region, supported by worldwide environmental protection organizations.

According to Statista, in 2021, North America emitted approximately 6.03 billion metric tons of CO2. National governments and international organizations around the world have agreed to set a goal of limiting worldwide temperature rise to two degrees Celsius. According to the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), approximately 91% of current fossil fuels and CO2 emissions come from the United States. North American emissions fell from 46.4% in 1950 to 20.5% in 2008. Regional emissions per capita in North America have been consistently high and higher than in any other region.
