The growing demand for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) information from investors is expected to drive the expansion of the ESG investment analytics market. ESG information encompasses the frameworks and policies that detail a company's practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. Companies are facing increasing pressure to disclose specific ESG data, such as their environmental impact, social initiatives, and governance practices. This transparency helps investors make informed decisions and holds companies accountable for their actions. ESG investment analytics integrate these factors into their assessments, helping investors understand how companies manage risks and opportunities related to sustainability and ethical practices. For example, a May 2022 ESG Global Study by Capital Group, a US-based financial services firm, revealed that 89% of investors used ESG information in 2022, up from 84% in 2021. Additionally, 31% of European investors view ESG information as a central investment factor, compared to 26% of global investors. Therefore, the increasing demand for ESG information is expected to drive the growth of the ESG investment analytics market.
