The rising demand for ESG information from investors is expected to drive the growth of the ESG investment analytics market in the coming years. ESG information encompasses frameworks and policies that disclose a company’s performance and practices regarding environmental, social, and governance issues. Companies face increasing pressure to report ESG metrics, including their environmental impact, social initiatives, and governance procedures. This transparency helps investors make more informed decisions while holding companies accountable for their actions. ESG investment analytics assist investors in evaluating how companies manage risks and opportunities related to sustainability and ethical practices by incorporating ESG factors into investment analysis. For example, in June 2024, The Capital Group, a US-based financial services firm, reported that in 2023, 63% of North American investors used active funds, which rose to 67%, while nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents globally preferred active funds that integrate ESG considerations, with the highest adoption in EMEA at 78%. Therefore, growing investor demand for ESG information is fueling the ESG investment analytics market.
