Green technology, also recognized as sustainable technology or clean technology, encompasses the development and deployment of products, processes, and systems aimed at tackling environmental issues and lessening adverse impacts on the Earth. It encompasses technologies geared towards reducing energy consumption, harnessing renewable energy sources, mitigating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and fostering ecological sustainability.
The principal components of green technology encompass both solutions and services. Solutions denote comprehensive systems or applications integrating various green technology elements to address environmental challenges and accomplish specific objectives, such as carbon emissions reduction, energy conservation, or pollution mitigation. These technologies span across categories including the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence and analytics, digital twin, cybersecurity, and blockchain, with applications extending to non-residential, residential, and other sectors.
The green technology research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides green technology market statistics, including the green technology industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an green technology market share, detailed green technology market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the green technology industry. This green technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The green technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $18.69 billion in 2023 to $23.6 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing awareness of the advantages offered by green technologies, a rising demand for biomass solutions, heightened urgency to address climate change concerns, a shift towards readily deployable climate technology solutions with shorter implementation timescales, and a growing inclination towards sustainable investment practices.
The green technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $61.13 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.8%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by a surge in corporate pledges towards achieving net-zero emissions, coupled with increased investments from emerging economies in green infrastructure. Heightened concerns surrounding climate change and environmental degradation, along with rising industrial and consumer awareness, further contribute to this trend. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of green technologies are expected to play a significant role. Major trends in this period include the adoption of data measurement technologies and software solutions to enhance efficiency, generate new revenue streams, and facilitate performance monitoring
The upward trend towards sustainable investing is poised to accelerate the expansion of the green technology market in the foreseeable future. Sustainable investing, also known as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, seeks to generate financial returns while considering environmental, social, and governance factors. As awareness of environmental and social issues grows, a broader range of investments is contributing to a sustainable future. Within this landscape, green technology plays a pivotal role, with capital directed towards companies developing environmentally friendly solutions to address global challenges while delivering financial returns and fostering sustainability. For instance, data from Thomson Reuters Lipper revealed that a record $649 billion flowed into ESG-focused funds globally in 2021, up from $542 billion in 2020, with ESG funds now representing 10% of all global fund assets. Thus, the increasing shift towards sustainable investing is a key driver of the green technology market's growth trajectory.
