Green Technology and Sustainability Market

Global Green Technology and Sustainability Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The size of the global green technology and sustainability market was worth USD 16.44 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a promising CAGR of 26.12% from 2024 to 2029 and reach USD 20.73 billion in 2024 and USD 132.70 billion by 2032.

Current Scenario of the Global Green Technology and Sustainability Market

The global green technology and sustainability market has had prominent growth in recent years and is estimated to accelerate further during the forecast period. Green technologies are more than merely disparate technologies. The world is witnessing several severe problems, such as critical food shortages, extensive ecological pollution, worldwide effects of various diseases, depletion of energy and other resources, and extreme weather changes, which demand the requirement of different cross-disciplinary sustainability technologies. Moreover, green technologies include components such as composting, electric cars, vertical farming, wind power, LED lighting, and solar energy. Because of improved environmental awareness, governmental assistance and technological developments, the green technology and sustainability market is moving forward at a rapid pace. According to a study, in comparison to 2022, overall, more customers have been accepting a sustainable way of living. Also, for major consumers, accepting a more ecology sustainability begins at home, recycling goods or lowering waste. About 76% of composted or recycled family waste in the past 12 months.

MARKET DRIVERS

The rising influx of investment to develop tailored services and solutions drives the market growth.

Certain key trends encompass the application of recycled substances and methods for the management of waste in an environmentally friendly way along with substitute sources of energy like solar or wind. Also, public and private corporations are implementing modern green technologies and sustainability services and solutions. The emphasis that companies place on sustainability is resulting in sophisticated technologies that accelerate power saving and simultaneously reduce carbon emissions.

The rising sustainable or ethical buying decisions are boosting the global market growth.

In 2023, over various categories, there was a greater proportion of customers not purchasing some brands or goods due to sustainability or ethical-related issues. As per the research, 1 in 3 buyers, i.e., 30%, discontinued buying some items or brands owing to ethical or sustainability-based problems. Also, when measured against a year ago a larger percentage of customers prevented making purchases, especially in hospitality, beauty and grocery as a result of these worries. Additionally, one of the key factors pushing the market forward is the active participation and financial support from global authorities and agencies. Furthermore, the surging popularity of circularity is also assisting in market expansion.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The rising cost of living hampers the growth of green technology and sustainability market.

The economic pressure on households is affecting how customers are shifting to a greater sustainable living culture, with behaviors that help to spend less, which is the biggest surge this year. According to a study, approximately 55% of people choose to repair a product against purchasing a whole new equivalent piece, 44% procured a second-hand product and 42% spent more for longer-lasting items. Besides this, since the technology is in its early stages, the related training and development expenditures are believed to be greater than those with current technologies. Exorbitant initial implementation expenses are expected to hinder the acceptance of green technologies among companies.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

The green technology and sustainability market is slated to thrive further with the adoption of modern technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) throughout sectors. Industries like IT & communication, healthcare, and manufacturing are progressively implementing sophisticated technologies, including artificial intelligence, IoT, and big data, which support them in measuring the carbon discharge by their respective company departments and taking suitable steps on the same. As per the research, utilizing AI could lower GHG releases globally by 4 percent in 2030, a quantity equal to 2.4 gigatons of the same (GTCO2e) of carbon dioxide (CO2) discharges similar to the 2030 yearly releases of Japan, Canada, and Australia joint. Further, ecologically centered AI applications are expected to hold a large GHG reduction ability for nearly all areas worldwide, with East Asia and North America possibly lowering their GHG releases by 1.6 percent to 6.1 percent and 2.7 percent to 4.8 percent in 2030, respectively. In the logistics and transportation sector, IoT systems were utilized to supervise path optimization, resulting in fuel conservation. Therefore, accepting modern technologies is likely to present avenues for green technology and sustainability solutions for market players in the coming years.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Handling data or information is one of the biggest sustainability issues companies are dealing with, affecting the global market growth. This is evident even within those who have been on the course of sustainability for a certain time. Moreover, this constraint is primarily propelled by the inherent complications that encircle the information needed for sustainability management, as most of the data required originates from their rather obscure or unclear and intricate logistics or delivery networks. Considering this pattern, it is only organic for industry players to commence handling sustainability from a supply network lens. Therefore, this problem is challenging the growth of the green technology and sustainability market.
