Global Voluntary Carbon Credit Trading Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Voluntary Carbon Credit Trading market size is expected to reach $ 6421 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 15.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Voluntary carbon credit trading refers to the buying and selling of carbon credits in a market where businesses, governments, or individuals choose to offset their carbon emissions voluntarily, rather than as a result of a legal mandate. These markets exist to help mitigate climate change by incentivizing organizations to reduce or offset their greenhouse gas emissions through carbon credits, which represent a reduction, avoidance, or removal of CO2 or other greenhouse gases.

The accelerating climate change crisis has shifted the investor focus onto how companies incorporate ESG factors—environmental, social and governance—into their business strategy. Investors are putting companies under increased scrutiny for their environmental impact and especially greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. That interest, along with commitments by countries to international pledges such as the Paris Agreement to reduce GHG emissions, has led to growing participation in carbon markets from businesses seeking to meet climate-related targets or offset certain climate-related impacts. However, excluding the EU market, due to various factors, developing countries and some developed countries are not willing to bear this responsibility. Companies are not willing to bear high costs unless enforced. For many regions, the compliance market is just an ideal. While total voluntary offset emissions reductions remain small compared to what’s needed to combat climate change globally, actions on the voluntary markets have a ripple effect into compliance markets. Despite the comparatively small volume, voluntary offsets have an outsized impact on compliance markets and on emissions reductions activities in general.
