Description

The construction sector is entering a critical decarbonization phase driven by regulation, corporate ESG mandates, and embodied carbon disclosure. This study analyzes the market for low-carbon and circular construction materials (LCCMs), covering recycled aggregates, low-carbon cement, and bio-based composites. It forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 10.5% (2025–2035), with market value approaching USD 2 trillion. The research highlights policy catalysts such as the EU Green Deal, U.S. Buy Clean, and Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) programs. It also quantifies adoption barriers—insurance costs, capital constraints, and certification complexity—while proposing a unified EPD framework for scalable decarbonization.
Supported by data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and GlobalABC, this report provides lifecycle cost modeling and ROI benchmarks for carbon-neutral building materials. It integrates emissions data from verified EPD databases, carbon pricing trends, and case studies from Skanska, LafargeHolcim, and CarbonCure.
