The Green Economy is Booming

A $5 trillion market.

Second only to technology.

And the built environment is hiding right inside.

A new report about the Green Economy by the World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows its massive market size.

Want me to put it in perspective?

It is now the second-largest growth sector in the world, trailing only Technology.

Looking closely at the breakdown, the built environment is much larger than the "Industrials & buildings" bar suggests.

It’s hiding in almost every category:

Adaptation?
Think flood defences, cooling systems and resilient infrastructure.

Circularity?
Think urban mining, re-use and construction waste streams.

Financials?
Think green mortgages, green bonds or CO2 storage certificates.

Real estate contributes nearly 40% of global emissions. I see lots of development and progress happening to change that, and it’s great to see the financials of cheaper capital plus higher valuations play out as well.

The data shows the Green Economy growing at 6% CAGR until 2030, and the sub-sectors at 7-12% CAGR, outpacing global GDP growth of 3%.
