Description

Report Scope

This report provides an analysis of the global market for green building materials, incorporating the latest data, trends, and market projections. Green building materials minimize their environmental impact throughout their life cycle, prioritizing sustainability, durability, and health by using natural or recycled resources. The U.S. Green Building Council defines these as environmentally preferable products under its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program.

This report focuses on the building type, application, and product aspects of green building materials. The market study’s base year is 2024 and includes estimates and forecasts for 2025 through 2030. Market estimates are in U.S. dollars (millions). Forecast growth rates are based on expected industry capacity additions, feedback from key industry suppliers, revenue reported by major companies, and anticipated regulatory updates. Data from major green building material associations, including the World Green Building Council, the Indian Green Building Council, the Green Building Initiative, the U.S. Green Building Council, the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products, the German Green Building Association, and the Canada Green Building Council, were used to anticipate market dynamics and further triangulate the market size.

For this analysis, the global market for green building materials is segmented into:
  • Application: insulation, exterior siding, framing, interior finishes, and roofing.
  • Building Type: Residential, commercial, institutional, and infrastructure.
  • Region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America.
Report Includes
  • 41 data tables and 54 additional tables
  • Analyses of the trends in the global markets for green building materials, with revenue data from 2024, estimates for 2025, forecasts for 2029, and projected CAGRs through 2030

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
