The rising demand for new homes is expected to drive the growth of the low-carbon construction materials market. This demand is fueled by population growth, urbanization, and a desire for modern amenities and personalized living spaces. Low-carbon construction materials are essential for new homes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize environmental impact, and support sustainable building practices. For example, in July 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the number of dwellings under construction increased by 1.3% to 240,813 in the March quarter, up from 195,201 in March 2021. Of these, 103,778 were new houses. As a result, the growing demand for new homes is driving the expansion of the low-carbon construction materials market.

Leading companies in the low-carbon construction materials market are focusing on developing technologically advanced products, such as energy-efficient glass, to reduce environmental impact while ensuring high performance. Energy-efficient glass is designed to minimize heat loss or gain, enhance thermal insulation, and improve energy conservation in buildings. For example, in June 2023, Saint-Gobain India, a construction company based in India, introduced low-carbon glass. This new glass substrate from Saint Gobain Glass India is engineered to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 40% compared to their existing products. Despite its lower carbon footprint, it upholds the same high technical, quality, and aesthetic standards as traditional glass. This new product, soon to be added to their energy-efficient glass portfolio, is expected to significantly reduce embodied carbon in buildings and enhance operational energy efficiency.

In August 2023, Aggregate Industries, a UK-based building materials company, acquired OCL Regeneration for an undisclosed amount.
