The increasing awareness in regards to sustainable living among environmental activists and enthusiasts is driving the demand for green building materials market.

The increasing regulations and standards set by international regulatory bodies is contributing to the growth of the green building materials market.

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the green building materials market witnessed a major downfall due to the various restrictions laid down by countries across the globe.

 

 

 

Building systems segment held the largest share in the green building materials market in the year 2020. Building systems include the whole procedure and process involved in constructing a sustainable structure of building. Green building materials in building systems include materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, mycelium and others. Building systems involves decisions regarding electricity installation, plumbing, gas piping, fire protection, sewer systems. The increase in demand from the individual customers for installation and use of green building materials for sustainable living is also contributing to the demand for green building materials market.

 

 

Interior finishing segment held the largest share of 32% in the green building materials market in the year 2020. The increase in demand from commercial users and residential users for promoting sustainable living is increasing demand for green building materials from interior finishing segment. There has been a drastic change in the adoption of green building materials for interior designing such as electrical working, lighting applications and for improving the indoor air quality. This is increasing the demand for green building materials from the interior finishing segment of the green building materials market.

 

 

Building and construction industry held the largest share in the green building materials market in the year 2020 with a growing CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increase in the number of construction activities is majorly driving the demand for green building materials market. For instance, according to the World Bank, the cost of expenditure in the construction industry across the world was estimated to reach US$11.9 trillion in the year 2020, which is an increase of 4.2% as compared to the previous year expenditure. The increase in the activities in the building and construction sector coupled with the wide scope of application of green building materials in various applications like flooring, roofing, interior designing and others in the building and construction sector is driving the demand for green building materials market.

 

 

North American region held the largest share of 34% in the green building materials market in the year 2020. The highly developed building and construction sector in the region coupled with the growing awareness regarding environmental sustainability and sustainable living is driving the demand for green building materials market in the region. The Vancouver convention center in Canada is a prominent LEED building in Canada and is the first v4 Platinum Existing Building project to be certified in Canada. The increasing adoption of LEED buildings for the construction of sustainable structures in the region is driving the demand for green building materials market in the North American region.

The increasing awareness about environmental concerns in the recent times is one of the significant factors driving the demand for green building materials market. LEED building is a widely used green building rating system. The increase in building sustainable structures with eco friendly products to minimize carbon footprint is increasing the demand for green building materials market. According to U.S. Green Building Council, LEED has become the most prominent green building rating system in the world. The LEED system currently has around 80,000 projects in across 162 countries. It also includes more than 32,500 certified commercial projects. This is driving the demand for green building materials across the globe.

 

 

The government of many countries has introduced various initiatives and incentives for the construction of green buildings. This is driving the demand for green building materials market across the world. For example, the Industries & Commerce Department of Andhra Pradesh, India offers 25% subsidy on total capital investment of the project for buildings obtain green rating from Indian Green Building Council. The European Commission has set a target for reducing emission by at least 55% by the year 2030. European Commission also estimated that 160,000 additional green jobs could be created in the construction sector by 2030. These are some of the factors driving the green building materials market across the globe.

 

 

 

The high capital investments involved in investing in green building materials is one of the biggest challenges to the green building materials market. Green building materials are alternatives for mainstream building materials, and therefore it needs to be of really good quality. Therefore, green building materials are pretty expensive. Furthermore, there are very less companies in the market doing work related to green building and green construction policy, as it requires expertise on the subject matter. This is majorly hampering the growth of the green building materials market.
