The global sustainable finance market size is expected to reach USD 5,743.39 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Sustainable Finance Market Size, Share, Trends & Industry Analysis Report: By Investment Type (Equity, Fixed Income, Mixed Allocation, and Others), By Transaction Type, By Industry Verticals, and By Region– Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Sustainable finance refers to the incorporation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into investing and financial decision-making. It surpasses conventional financial analysis by evaluating how a business's or project's actions affect the environment and society. The goal of sustainable finance is to direct capital toward activities and projects that are economically viable and contribute to sustainable development. This approach aims to create a self-sustaining financial system that supports the achievement of development goals while still generating financial returns.

The growing awareness of global issues such as climate change, social inequality, and resource depletion has contributed significantly to the expansion of the sustainable finance market. This market encompasses various financial services, including green bonds, social bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and ESG investment funds. Its dynamics are influenced by changing regulations, advancements in data analytics technology, and an increased demand for investments that yield profits alongside positive environmental and social impacts. The ongoing development of these trends reflects a collective shift toward a more responsible and resilient financial system.
