Green Technology and Sustainability Market Expected to Reach $74.64 Billion by 2030

According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Green Technology and Sustainability Market by Technology and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,” the global green technology and sustainability market size was valued at $10.32 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $74.64 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 21.9% from 2021 to 2030.

Green technology is a set of products, processes, applications, and practices that are created and used to conserve natural resources and the environment. Conversely, sustainability is referred to as the pathway that overcomes environmental challenges and supports economic & social progress.

The green technology is gaining high traction in the global green technology and sustainability market, as it includes products, equipment, and systems to conserve natural resources and minimize & reduce the negative impact on environment by human activities. Several countries have developed and adopted green strategies to promote the development of renewable energy technologies, and its wide adoption is witnessed for electric grid applications.

Moreover, surge in environmental awareness and increase in concerns among organizations & individuals about global warming augment the growth of the market. In addition, upsurge in adoption of RFID sensors that minimizes carbon emissions and increase in consumer & industrial interest for use of clean energy resources are projected to notably contribute toward the growth of the market in the coming years. However, high product and solution cost associated with green technology and sustainability solutions acts as a major restraint if the market. In contrast, favorable government and private initiatives to tackle climate change and air pollution is an opportunistic factor of the green technology and sustainability market.

The green building segment is expected to garner a significant share during the forecast period. This is attributed to proliferation of major green building trends such as Climate Resiliency, Green Star Certification, and LEED Certification. However, the crop monitoring segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, owing to rise in adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled crop monitoring systems among the general public of emerging countries.

Region wise, the green technology and sustainability market was dominated by North America in 2020, and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in number of green building initiatives in the region. In addition, smart devices in the region operate on low emission deployed networks, which is a key growth factor of the market. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth rate during the forecast period, owing to factors such as favorable government initiatives toward adoption of green technology and high adoption of frontier technologies to promote new sources of economic & employment growth, support structural transformation, and empower access to new opportunities & markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought radical changes to daily lives of people, work, and the surrounding environment. The COVID-19 outbreak has low impact on the growth of the green technology and sustainability market size, as the lockdown implemented during this global health crisis is expected to create significant demand of green technology solutions such as solar panels and LED lighting. Furthermore, increase in government initiatives to curb pollution across various emerging countries such as India and China drives the growth of the market in the pandemic situation.
