Green Buildings Market to Hit USD 763.1 Billion by 2031 with Asia-Pacific Holding 37.6% Market Share, Says Mordor Intelligence

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the green buildings market size is projected to increase from USD 417.05 billion in 2025 to USD 461.23 billion in 2026 and reach USD 763.12 billion by 2031, at a 10.59% CAGR during 2026–2031. Growing carbon-reporting requirements, energy-performance standards, and access to green financing are encouraging building owners and developers to prioritize energy-efficient projects. Demand is also supported by retrofit programs in developed economies and new sustainable construction across emerging markets. Advances in materials such as low-carbon concrete and bio-based insulation are further helping reduce the environmental impact of buildings while supporting long-term efficiency goals.

Green Building Market Growth Drivers

Energy Efficiency Gains Encourage Investment in Advanced Building Envelopes

Higher energy costs are encouraging property owners and tenants to place greater emphasis on building efficiency. Features such as insulated façades, high-performance windows, reflective roofing, and airtight designs can help reduce heating and cooling requirements while improving indoor comfort. This trend is particularly relevant for offices, data centers, warehouses, and other energy-intensive facilities. As operating costs remain a key concern, investments in efficient building envelopes are also creating new opportunities for both green construction and retrofit projects.

Stronger Sustainability Standards Accelerate Green Building Adoption

Stricter environmental regulations and green building standards are encouraging developers to integrate sustainability measures earlier in the construction process. Requirements related to energy efficiency, renewable energy readiness, emissions reduction, and building performance are becoming increasingly important for new projects and existing properties. Certifications such as LEED and BREEAM also play a growing role in helping projects meet financing and investment requirements. Although compliance can increase upfront costs, it can improve access to sustainable financing and reduce long-term operating expenses, supporting continued growth in the green buildings market.

Urban Development Initiatives Strengthen Sustainable Construction in Asia-Pacific

Rapid urban development across Asia-Pacific is creating strong opportunities for sustainable construction. Governments in countries such as India, Vietnam, and Indonesia are incorporating green building requirements into urban planning and development programs. Incentives for certified projects are also encouraging developers to adopt energy-efficient designs and environmentally responsible technologies. As sustainability becomes an integral part of new urban projects, demand is rising for green building systems, efficient materials, and related solutions across the region.

Jayveer V, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence says, "Green building investment is being shaped by rising sustainability requirements, energy efficiency priorities, and evolving construction practices. Mordor Intelligence applies consistent research standards and market validation to provide decision-makers with a structured view of market size, growth, regional dynamics, and competitive developments."

Global Green Buildings Market Share by Region

North America and Europe remain important markets for green building activity, supported by energy-efficiency regulations, building renovation programs, and growing interest in sustainable financing. Demand is also expanding across Latin America as countries introduce green construction standards and upgrade existing properties. These developments are encouraging investment in efficient building systems, sustainable materials, and energy-focused renovations, supporting continued growth in the global green buildings market.

Asia-Pacific is experiencing strong demand for green building solutions as governments, developers, and businesses place greater emphasis on energy efficiency and lower environmental impact. China and India are supporting sustainable construction through policy initiatives, green financing, and certification programs, while Japan and South Korea are upgrading older commercial properties to meet evolving efficiency standards. Australia is also encouraging the use of renewable energy solutions in residential and commercial buildings. These developments are expanding opportunities for sustainable materials, efficient building systems, and renovation services across the region, supporting continued growth in the global green buildings market.
