Green Building Materials Market Report 2026

The green building materials market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $369.03 billion in 2025 to $405.34 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness of environmental sustainability, rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, early adoption of recycled construction materials, expansion of green certification programs, increased focus on reducing carbon emissions.

The green building materials market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $574.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of renewable structural materials, expansion of eco-friendly interior and exterior systems, rising government incentives for sustainable construction, growing investment in green infrastructure, development of advanced low-carbon building technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for renewable and locally sourced building materials, growth in low-carbon construction solutions, increasing adoption of recycled and reclaimed construction products, expansion of energy-efficient interior and exterior systems, higher preference for non-toxic and low-maintenance materials.

The growth of the green building materials market is anticipated to be propelled in the forthcoming years due to an increased demand for green buildings. Green building involves the application of ecologically responsible and resource-efficient procedures and designs throughout various stages, including site selection, design, construction, operation, service, remodeling, and deconstruction. The surge in demand for green buildings is directly influencing the expansion of the market for green building materials. For example, in July 2023, data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities, a UK-based government department, showed that 480,000 Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were registered on the Energy Performance of Buildings Register for domestic and non-domestic properties in England and Wales, representing a 2% increase compared with the same period in 2022.

Major companies in the green building materials market are increasingly focusing on innovative green cement to enhance the sustainability of construction practices and improve the overall environmental performance of buildings. Green cement is designed to have a lower environmental impact compared to conventional Portland cement, promoting more sustainable construction materials and contributing to eco-friendly building practices while reducing the construction industry's carbon footprint. For instance, in August 2024, Navrattan Group, an India-based construction company, launched Green Cement in India. This innovative product serves as an alternative to traditional Portland cement, aiming to significantly reduce carbon emissions during production through the use of alternative materials and methods. This highlights the potential of green cement to revolutionize the construction industry by providing a sustainable yet durable building material solution.

In June 2025, Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, a France-based supplier of clinker-free, low-carbon cements, formed a strategic partnership with GBMP Bâtiment to advance sustainable construction, one clinker-free building at a time. The collaboration aims to encourage the widespread use of low-carbon, clinker-free cement in regional construction projects across Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, supporting environmentally responsible building practices and reducing the carbon footprint of the construction sector. GBMP Bâtiment is a France-based company providing general construction and turnkey building services.

I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Interface Inc., Saint-Gobain (CertainTeed Corporation), Forbo International SA, Amvik Systems, Alumasc Group Plc, Bauder Limited, Sika AG, Välinge Flooring, HeidelbergCement, LafargeHolcim, Gsky Plant Systems, Internationale Geotextil GmbH, Suzano, Klabin, Cielo Brazil, BR Metals Fundições Ltda.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on bamboo, engineered wood, recycled metals, insulation materials, and low-emission exterior systems have raised production costs and slowed global supply flows within the green building materials market. Structural, exterior, and interior material segments in import-dependent regions such as North America and Europe face price hikes, extended procurement cycles, and reduced project affordability. Residential and non-residential construction end users experience upward cost pressure. Nonetheless, tariffs are stimulating domestic material innovation, encouraging sustainable local sourcing, and driving regional manufacturing investments, ultimately supporting long-term resilience and market diversification.

Green building materials encompass those that are both locally sourced and renewable. These materials, which are instrumental in enhancing a building's sustainability and efficiency, not only emit less carbon pollution but also require less water and maintenance compared to similar products.

The primary categories of green building materials include structural, exterior, interior, and others. The components constituting the walls, roof, foundation, stairs, associated projections, and other external sections and features collectively form the building exterior. Exterior applications of green building materials involve the use of bamboo, recycled steel, and reclaimed wood. These materials find application in framing, insulation, roofing, exterior siding, interior finishing, and various other aspects, catering to both residential and non-residential buildings.North America was the largest region in the green building materials market in 2025. Asia-Pacific was expected to be the fastest region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the green building materials market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa.
