Top Impacting Factors
Increase in Government Initiatives for Low Carbon Policies
Governments across the globe are seriously considering the consequences of rapid industrialization and the unbalanced production of carbon, as these unmoderated carbon emissions cause some serious health and environmental damage. A number of countries, regions, and local governments have already implemented a carbon tax or something similar, such as energy tax (based on the carbon emission during the production of the energy). According to an article published by the American environmental nonprofit organization, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, in 2021, 35 carbon tax programs have already been implemented across the globe.
Moreover, many countries are implementing serious tax laws and regulations on their businesses and industrial areas to check their carbon footprint. For instance, in May 2019, South Africa became the first African country to implement a carbon tax. South Africa has proposed a tariff of $8.34 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent. Such policies promise great scope of opportunities for the future of carbon footprint management solutions in the coming years.
Increase in Demand for Energy Consumption by Industries
The energy requirement of the industrial sector is on the rise. For instance, according to an article published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the industrial sector of the U.S. was responsible for consuming more than 36% of its total energy consumption for 2020, out of which, more than 77% of the energy was utilized by the manufacturing sector businesses. Similarly, Statistics Canada in 2020 reported that the energy consumption of the manufacturing sector increased by over 6% since 2009. Such trends are showcasing growth in energy requirement by the industrial sector across the globe as energy production still depends on coal. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the total energy production of the U.S. in 2020-2021 consisted of 22% of coal-powered energy sources. Such factors enable governments and industries to employ carbon footprint management solutions.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
With COVID-19 cases on the rise globally, many businesses and organizations in the manufacturing and fabrication industries were forced to limit or even halt their operations entirely during COVID-19-related lockdowns. In addition, with limited availability of staff and workers on-site, organizations were facing difficulties to maintain full-scale productivity during the period. Because of these constraints, the carbon footprint management industry's applications were limited, and the market endured a slowdown during the pandemic.
However, rise in consumer awareness of personal carbon footprint management has resulted in a steady growth trend in several industrial and residential applications, allowing for its growth in relatively less explored business verticals. This has enabled many key players in the industry to launch specialized products to cater to a newer customer base. For instance, in August 2020, Carbon Footprint Ltd. announced the launch of its Carbon Calculator. Carbon Calculator is a carbon footprint calculator for individuals and households. Such instances are promising great opportunities for the growth of the carbon footprint management market in the coming years.
