The green building materials market size was valued at $237.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $511.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2021 to 2030.

Green building material is a material that improves a building structure's sustainability and efficiency in terms of design, construction, maintenance, and renovation. These materials are highly energy efficient and made from renewable waste sources. Mycelium, hempcrete, recycled plastic, straw bales, bamboo & wood, rammed earth, timbercrete, and grasscrete are utilized in the construction of green building material.

Green Building Materials Market

The concept of sustainable building incorporates and integrates a variety of strategies during the design, construction and operation of building projects. The use of green building materials and products represents one important strategy in the design of a building.

Green building materials offer specific benefits to the building owner and building occupants:

  • Reduced maintenance/replacement costs over the life of the building.
  • Energy conservation.
  • Improved occupant health and productivity.
  • Lower costs associated with changing space configurations.
  • Greater design flexibility.

Using green building materials and products promotes conservation of decreasing non -renewable resources globally. In addition, integrating green building materials into building projects can help reduce the environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transport, processing, fabrication, installation, reuse, recycling, and disposal of these building industry source materials.

Green building materials comprise wood, straw hemp concrete, recycled plastic, ferrock, mycelium, straw bales, bamboo rammed earth, wood concrete, and grass concrete. The purpose of using green building materials is to build structures that are energy-efficient and support the ecological balance of the environment. Green building materials increase a building structure's sustainability and efficiency. These materials are made from renewable waste sources and are particularly energy efficient. The use of environmentally friendly building materials can address a number of environmental issues, including air pollution, the deterioration of natural resources, the extinction of species, and unnatural climate change. Due to these benefits, green building materials are the greatest replacement for conventionally used building materials.  

The growing demand for green buildings is anticipated to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period. Green building refers to the technique of creating buildings and following construction, design, operation, maintenance, dismantling, and conversion processes that are resource- and environmentally conscious. The demand for green building materials is rising as more sustainable materials are employed in the construction of green buildings. For instance, research published in April 2022 by the commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE India stated that over the previous five years, green building has attracted a lot of interest. A total of 78 million square feet of certified inventory were added over that time, representing a 37% increase in the supply of green-certified buildings. As a result, the market is growing due to the rising demand for green buildings.

Green building materials are becoming increasingly popular in various construction projects as they minimize the environmental impact of building materials associated with installation, transportation, manufacturing, processing, disposal, and recycling. Rise in preference for these materials over traditional construction materials is expected to boost the green building materials market's growth. They help to reduce carbon emissions, which in turn helps to reduce global warming. Additionally, they are energy-efficient & environmentally friendly, making them easy to maintain and cost effective. When compared to standard construction materials, the advantages of green building materials make them an excellent alternative. Furthermore, governments in developed nations implemented policies and incentives to encourage green construction, which is anticipated to boost the demand for green building materials. However, decreased income per capita in some of the countries is anticipated to restrain the construction activities from residential sector. This might hinder the green building materials market growth.

Analyst Review

Environmental concerns and focus on sustainable infrastructure drive the development of green building construction in both residential and non-residential sectors. Due to high cost and low awareness about the benefits of green building, the penetration of green building in the residential sector is lower as compared to the non-residential. Emission reduction potential and low operating costs are the major factors that drive the growth of green building material market across the globe. New imitation slate materials are introduced in the market, which offer a longer lifespan to the roofs than asphalt and are available at a very low cost compared to original slate. These imitation materials are produced using 100% re-engineered and recycled materials, including cellulose and rubber. Recycled-content decking materials are increasingly replacing pressure-treated pine, cedar, and old-growth redwood in all non-structural deck applications as they offer cost savings and improved durability as compared to wood. In addition, these materials do not crack, rot, do not require staining, and are not treated with toxic chemicals.

Environment regulations aided the growth of green building materials market in emerging economies such as India and China, especially in the commercial sector. Singapore emerged as a green building model for developers and planners across Asia-Pacific by incorporating sun-shading exteriors, computer modelling of energy flows & carbon emissions, water-efficient fittings, and highly efficient HVAC systems in their building structures.

The Asia-Pacific green building material market offers promising opportunities for green building material manufacturers, owing to growth in infrastructure and rapid industrialization. In addition, increase in disposable incomes in developing economies, such as China, India, and Japan majorly fuel the market. However, many construction projects are halted or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which hinder the demand for green building material.
