The increasing consumer preference for green buildings is expected to drive the growth of the green building LEED consulting market in the coming years. Green buildings are designed, constructed, and operated to minimize environmental impact while enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. This rise in consumer preference is largely due to the energy efficiency of green buildings, which lowers utility costs and reduces environmental harm. Green building LEED consulting supports this preference by guiding projects through sustainable design practices, ensuring adherence to LEED standards, and maximizing energy efficiency and environmental benefits. For example, in November 2024, the Green Business Certification Inc., a US-based sustainability organization, reported that 370 U.S. projects covering 91.5 million square feet were LEED certified. Thus, the increasing consumer preference for green buildings is fueling growth in the green building LEED consulting market.

Key players in the green building LEED consulting market are focusing on developing innovative approaches, such as integrated resilience and sustainability strategies, to provide comprehensive solutions that improve building performance, reduce environmental impact, and ensure long-term adaptability to climate challenges. Integrated resilience and sustainability approaches enhance a building’s ability to withstand environmental stresses while minimizing its ecological footprint. For instance, in April 2025, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a US-based organization, launched LEED v5, an updated rating system for sustainable buildings. This new version includes advanced tools aimed at improving human health, building resilience, and communities worldwide. LEED v5 seeks to drive stronger environmental and social outcomes through more comprehensive standards, focusing on reducing carbon emissions and improving overall quality of life. It marks a significant advancement in promoting global sustainable development.
