The global market for green building materials and technologies is set for robust growth, with revenues projected to exceed USD 190 billion by 2036, ResearchAndMarkets reports.
Driven by climate urgency and regulatory pressure, the ecosystem now spans sustainable raw materials, advanced insulation, smart windows, energy integration, modular construction and 3D printing.
Particularly strong segments include low-carbon concrete, bio-based materials (hemp, mycelium, natural-fiber composites), aerogel/phase-change insulation, and building automation systems that drive energy savings of 15-30% through AI-powered optimisation.
The report analyses five major segments — sustainable materials, building-energy systems, smart technologies, advanced construction methods, and region-wise dynamics (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa).
Market drivers include tightening energy & emissions codes, corporate net-zero procurement, consumer preference for healthier/efficient buildings, and government incentives.
Analysts believe this market will transition from niche adoption to mainstream construction, reshaping building design, performance, and carbon footprint globally over the next decade.
