The low carbon buildings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $553.39 billion in 2024 to $624,85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the increase in environmental regulations, growing awareness of climate change, higher energy efficiency requirements, the rise in government incentives for sustainable construction, and the growing demand for eco-friendly materials.

The low carbon buildings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.0 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by stricter government regulations promoting sustainable construction, increasing consumer awareness of energy efficiency, higher investment in renewable energy integration for buildings, growing urbanization, and the rise of smart cities with a focus on sustainability. Key trends during this period include the development of low-carbon concrete, advancements in sustainable steel production, the adoption of mass timber, hempcrete innovation, the use of bio-based plastics, the incorporation of recycled materials, and innovations in energy-efficient building systems.

The growing awareness of climate change is expected to drive the growth of the low-carbon buildings market moving forward. Increased awareness of climate change results from rising environmental concerns, widespread access to information, and intensified media coverage, leading to greater public engagement and demand for sustainable practices. Low-carbon buildings aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by incorporating energy-efficient designs, sustainable materials, and renewable energy systems, all of which promote sustainability and help combat climate change. For example, in 2023, the European Commission reported that 87% of Europeans supported increasing renewable energy use, and 86% favored enhancing energy efficiency by 2030. As a result, the increasing awareness of climate change is propelling the growth of the low-carbon buildings market.

Key players in the low-carbon buildings market are focusing on strategic partnerships to launch decarbonization programs that accelerate the transition to sustainable construction, improve energy efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions. These partnerships are vital for scaling sustainable construction practices, promoting decarbonization, and fostering innovation in the sector. For instance, in June 2024, Mahindra Group, an India-based industrial company, partnered with Johnson Controls, an Ireland-based industrial machinery manufacturer, to launch a net-zero buildings initiative. The initiative aims to decarbonize commercial, urban, residential, and public buildings in India by providing free toolkits and training programs. This initiative streamlines access to essential resources, empowering organizations to adopt sustainable building solutions and supporting India’s low-carbon development objectives by guiding building owners on conservation strategies, regulatory compliance, financing options, and advanced technologies.

In February 2022, Kingspan Group, an Ireland-based building materials company, acquired Troldtekt A/S for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is part of Kingspan’s strategy to expand its product portfolio and meet the growing global demand for sustainable, eco-friendly construction materials. Troldtekt A/S is a Denmark-based building materials company specializing in the production of sustainable wood and cement products designed to improve building acoustics.
