Green Concrete Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 9.12% through 2030F

Green Concrete Market is increasing due to rising demand for sustainable construction materials driven by environmental regulations and carbon reduction goals during the forecast period 2026-2030F.    

According to TechSci Research report, “Green Concrete Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Global Green Concrete Market was valued at USD 83.87 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 142.86 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 9.12% during the forecast period.

The Green Concrete Market is being driven by the global expansion of renewable energy and industrial projects, which require sustainable and durable construction materials to support large-scale infrastructure. Renewable energy projects, such as wind farms, solar plants, and hydroelectric facilities, rely on green concrete for foundations, turbine bases, and structural components due to its environmental benefits and high performance. The global push for clean energy, driven by commitments to reduce carbon emissions, has led to significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure, particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America.

Green concrete’s use of recycled materials and low-carbon production processes aligns with the sustainability goals of these projects, while its strength and durability ensure reliability in harsh environmental conditions. Similarly, industrial projects, such as manufacturing plants and warehouses, are adopting green concrete to comply with environmental regulations and reduce operational carbon footprints. The material’s versatility allows it to be used in heavy-duty applications, such as industrial flooring and structural supports, while its eco-friendly properties appeal to industries prioritizing sustainability.

The trend toward modular and scalable construction in renewable energy and industrial sectors further drives the demand for green concrete, which offers flexibility and cost-efficiency. As investments in renewable energy and industrial infrastructure continue to grow, the Green Concrete Market is expected to expand, driven by its critical role in supporting sustainable and resilient construction solutions.

In 2024, renewable energy and industrial projects consumed 130 million cubic meters of green concrete, representing 11% of total concrete usage in these sectors. This reflects a 6.8% growth from 2023, with 35% of green concrete used in wind and solar project foundations, driven by global clean energy investments.

A persistent barrier in the Green Concrete Market is the fragmented and evolving regulatory landscape, combined with resistance from traditional construction practices. Although green building certifications—such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, and similar guidelines—encourage sustainable concrete usage, these frameworks often vary significantly by region and lack universal enforcement. In many countries, there is no mandatory requirement to use green concrete, causing acceptance to rely on voluntary compliance or market perception.

Without regulatory certainty, developers and public infrastructure agencies are less likely to mandate its inclusion. Additionally, entrenched industry norms favor established materials and processes, creating a cultural and operational bias against innovation. Training and retraining construction professionals adds time and financial investment, delaying implementation. Contractors and project owners must also manage risks associated with new materials, such as insurance, warranty concerns, and potential liability for unfamiliar performance issues.

To overcome these barriers, coordinated efforts between governments, standards organizations, and construction associations are necessary to harmonize regulations, establish performance benchmarks, and incentivize green materials. Pilot projects that demonstrate cost-effective construction and long-term benefits are crucial to building confidence. Only then can green concrete transition from being a niche offering to an integral component of sustainable construction ecosystems worldwide.

Based on End-Use Industry, the Building and Construction segment dominated the Green Concrete Market and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This leadership position is attributed to the surging global demand for sustainable residential, commercial, and institutional infrastructure, supported by stringent environmental regulations and increasing consumer awareness. Governments across both developed and developing economies are promoting green construction practices through regulatory frameworks, subsidies, and green building certifications, all of which have led to the widespread adoption of green concrete in the building and construction sector.

As urban populations continue to expand, particularly in regions such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, the need for eco-friendly housing and commercial spaces has significantly increased. Green concrete, which incorporates supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash, slag, and recycled aggregates, plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency in construction. The building and construction sector benefits greatly from the performance attributes of green concrete, including improved durability, thermal insulation, and lower maintenance costs. Additionally, developers and contractors are increasingly prioritizing environmental, social, and governance objectives, prompting them to incorporate green concrete in new construction and renovation projects.

Architectural trends favoring sustainable design, coupled with the adoption of net-zero building codes, further reinforce the sector's reliance on green concrete materials. Moreover, as major cities around the world move toward climate resilience and carbon neutrality, green concrete is becoming an essential material in sustainable urban planning. With continuous research and development focused on enhancing the mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness of green concrete, its applications in the building and construction segment are set to increase further. As a result, the building and construction segment is anticipated to remain the dominant end-use industry in the Green Concrete Market over the coming years, driven by regulatory momentum, urbanization, and technological innovation.
