Nonresidential Green Buildings Market Report 2025

The nonresidential green buildings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.16 trillion in 2024 to $1.29 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental awareness and regulations, energy efficiency and cost savings, corporate social responsibility (CSR), occupant health and productivity, market differentiation and brand image.

The nonresidential green buildings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.12 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent green building standards, global climate change mitigation goals, rising demand for healthy workspaces, financial incentives and tax credits, evolving tenant preferences. Major trends in the forecast period include water conservation measures, circular economy principles, carbon neutrality targets, health and wellness-centric design, government incentives and regulations.

The growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions has fueled the growth of the nonresidential green buildings market. According to a report by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), green buildings can reduce carbon emissions by 34% and use 25% less energy compared to conventional buildings. For example, in April 2024, the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), a U.S.-based trade association representing the convenience and fuel retailing industry, reported that 80% of consumers expressed concern about the environmental impact of their purchases in 2024, an increase from 68% in 2023 and 66% in 2022. Consequently, the rising need for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions is driving the growth of the nonresidential green buildings market.

The growth of the nonresidential green buildings market is expected to be driven by government mandates on incorporating green technology. Governments worldwide are mandating the use of green technology to address environmental concerns, reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources, enhance energy efficiency, and promote sustainability. For example, in June 2023, Israel took a significant step by making it mandatory for all new non-residential structures to install rooftop solar panels to address electricity demands and achieve its renewable energy objectives. Such regulations are designed to mitigate climate change, improve public health, and foster innovation in the green technology sector. Consequently, government mandates on incorporating green technology are poised to drive the growth of the nonresidential green buildings market in the forecast period.

The adoption of living roofs, also known as green roofs, is on the rise in green buildings. A green roof involves covering the roof of a building with vegetation and soil or a growing medium planted over a waterproofing membrane. Not only do green roofs have a longer lifespan compared to conventional roofs, but they also offer various benefits. These include natural insulation that reduces energy costs, absorption and trapping of temperatures (both heat and cold), decreased stormwater runoff, air purification by filtering pollutants and carbon dioxide, and the creation of wildlife habitats in urban areas. It is estimated that to lower the city's ambient temperature by 2%, 8% of roofs in the city need to be green. In the USA, approximately 25 cities have programs encouraging green roofs, with Portland, Ore., making it mandatory for buildings in the central city over 20,000 square feet (with exceptions) to have 100% vegetation cover on their roofs. Consequently, green roofs are emerging as a trend in the nonresidential green buildings market.

In April 2023, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR), a US-based investment firm, completed the acquisition of Namsan Green Building for $186.7 million. This strategic move by KKR aims to enhance its portfolio by leveraging Namsan Green Building's expertise in green building projects. Namsan Green Building, based in South Korea, specializes in executing green building projects, particularly for premium commercial buildings.
