The term "green construction," also known as "sustainable design," refers to a construction method that focuses on boosting the structure's overall efficiency. It is the process of improving the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use water, energy, and materials, as well as lowering the impact on human health and the environment over the course of a building's full lifecycle. Green construction concepts expand beyond the walls of buildings to incorporate topics such as site planning, community development, and land-use planning. Green construction approaches strive to lessen a building's environmental impact. The majority of green construction materials, such as wood, recycled metal, fiberglass, and mineral wool, are renewable and non-toxic. Moreover, this concept contributes to environmental protection and improves our quality of life.

COVID-19 Impact on the Green Construction Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent interruptions have harmed the green construction market projection. Major development and infrastructure projects were halted as most countries were compelled to go into lockdown. Supply chain concerns, production stoppages, and staff shortages caused by government anti-coronavirus actions have generated significant challenges for the business. These interruptions, however, are projected to be temporary, and the market is predicted to rebound at a steady rate in the coming years.

Market Dynamics

The rising popularity of sustainable architecture is one of the significant trends in the global green construction market. The construction of green buildings has led to many environmental benefits around the world. Some of the benefits are reduction of natural resources consumption, energy optimization and reduction of energy consumption, and increased productivity of the occupants. Owing to these benefits governments of different countries are emphasizing green building infrastructure. For example, they are enacting legislation requiring developers and contractors to employ environmentally friendly materials and solutions in their construction projects. This has been expanding the green construction market revenue.

Water efficiency is another tangible benefit of green construction. According to research, green architecture can minimize not only water waste through water-efficient plumbing fixtures but also the strain on shared water resources. Residents of green buildings enjoy a plethora of health benefits because of the eco-friendly material used in construction. This factor is also expected to boost the demand for the industry. Some other factors that are also driving the market demand are extreme weather conditions, recurring climate fluctuations, and consumer preference for green roof equipment to maintain the temperature within the infrastructure.

Furthermore, the rising strict government regulations toward green building technology are expected to generate numerous growth opportunities for the market in the coming years. As a result, architects are developing innovative sustainable design approaches that could protect the ecosystem while lowering carbon footprint, from home constructions to corporate facilities.

Green Construction Market Segmentation

The global green construction market is segmented based on product, application, and region.

Market By Product

• Interior Products
  • Insulation
  • Floorings
• Exterior Products
  • Windows
  • Roofing
  • Siding
  • Doors
• Building Systems
• Solar Products
• Others

Based on our analysis, the interior products segment is expected to attian a substantial growth rate during the projected years 2022 – 2030. The green building's interior spaces have natural lighting and views of the outdoors, while high-efficiency HVAC (heating, ventilation, and airconditioning) devices and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) materials such as paint, flooring, and furniture provide better indoor air quality. On the other, hand the exterior products segment achieved the maximum green construction market share in 2021.

Market By Application

• Residential Buildings
• Non-Residential Buildings
  • Commercial & Office
  • Industrial
  • Institutional
  • Hospitality & Leisure
• Others

Among them, the residential buildings segment gathered a significant amount of green construction market share in 2021. The key reason driving segmental expansion is increased demand for residential buildings as the world's population grows. Furthermore, the use of green building materials in residential structures improves architectural features as well as air quality for residents. This factor shows the signs of massive growth in this sector. However, the non-residential sector is likely to attain the fastest growth rate during the forecast period due to the low operating and maintenance cost incurred by green construction.
