Environmental regulations and policies play a critical role in promoting the construction and adoption of zero-emission buildings (ZEBs) globally. These regulations are designed to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, creating a regulatory framework that encourages or even mandates the development of energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. These stringent regulations create a favorable environment for the adoption of zero-emission buildings by setting clear expectations for energy performance and sustainability.
Allied Market Research published a report, titled, Zero Emission Buildings Market by Element Type (Lighting, Walls Roofs, Heating, Ventilation, And Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, and Others), Building Type (Residential and Commercial): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033. The global zero emission building market size was valued at $28.7 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $155.1 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2024 to 2033.
Prime determinants of growth
The zero emission building market is propelled by several key drivers, including stringent environmental regulations and policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, rising energy costs that make energy-efficient buildings more attractive, and technological advancements in building materials and renewable energy systems. In addition, increase in consumer awareness and demand for sustainable living and working environments, coupled with financial incentives and subsidies from governments, further stimulate market growth. However, the market faces restraints such as the high initial construction costs, technical and design challenges, and a limited availability of skilled labor. Despite these challenges, significant opportunities exist in the continued innovation in sustainable building technologies, urbanization and smart city initiatives, retrofitting existing buildings to zero-emission standards, and the corporate sectors focus on sustainability goals. The increase in availability of green financing options also provides a strong foundation for future growth in the zero emission buildings market.
