As the housing and commercial construction markets continue to grow, many developers are looking into green construction solutions to maximize energy efficiency, take advantage of government incentives and upcoming policies, and reduce construction costs. These trends make green construction franchises a hot investment for 2022 and beyond.
Â
According to Allied Market Research, the global green building materials market size is expected to reach US$377,029 million by 2022, a CAGR of 11.9% in the last five years. The key market drivers for this growth are developers looking to reduce costs of construction combined with government incentives and policies to reduce the environmental impact of conventional fabrication, processing, installation, transportation, and disposal of building materials. These green practices will reduce waste of materials, conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and provide low operational maintenance costs for homeowners and business owners.

A study by Business Wire found that the global construction industry is expected to reach an estimated $10.5 trillion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.2%. The key market drivers for this growth are increasing urbanization and a growing population of homebuyers. An additional study by Business Wire found that the commercial construction industry faces a pressure to shift toward green construction techniques because of the continued price decline of green materials combined with the rise in costs of non-sustainable materials.
