Executive Summary

The total Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified building area in 2022 was approximately 11 billion sq. ft. This was only 4.5% of the entire building area, which was 242 billion sq. ft. Therefore, green buildings currently comprise a small share of the global construction market, but the investment opportunities in the green building sector are enormous.

The publisher estimates that the global market for green building materials will increase from $184.1 billion in 2023 to $347.7 billion in 2028, representing a 13.6% CAGR.

The Americas (including Latin American countries) accounted for 50% of all market revenue in 2022, followed by Asia-Pacific with 27%. With a CAGR of 16.1% over the forecast period, Asia-Pacific will be the fastest-growing region, due to population growth in countries like India, leading to a housing boom. Europe was the next largest market for green building materials in 2022, while the Middle East and African countries represented just 3% of the market.

The residential sector will dominate the market in emerging countries due to increasing population growth and rapid urbanization. The commercial sector will dominate in developed regions such as the U.S. and Europe. Insulation will be the most prominent application sector, especially in the Americas and the Europe.
