A market approach that places a monetary value on the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity is the Biodiversity and Natural Capital Credit. Although they are a component of larger environmental credit schemes, such as carbon credits, these credits are especially aimed at protecting species, habitats, and ecosystem services like pollination, clean water, and healthy soil. The market is expected to grow as a result of increasing net-positive biodiversity goals and corporate ESG commitments, government policies and regulations that support biodiversity protection, consumer demand for eco-friendly products, growing investor interest in natural capital as an asset class, and international frameworks such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Furthermore, although terrestrial ecosystems have received a lot of attention, freshwater and marine areas are becoming increasingly important for preserving biodiversity worldwide. There is a significant unrealized growth potential when finance markets are extended into these ecosystems.
However, there are some factors which anticipated to impede this market's growth like lack of standardized metrics and measurement methodologies, a lack of regulatory frameworks in many regions, high costs and market fragmentation, difficulties in guaranteeing long-term conservation outcomes; and issues with verification and additionality. Additionally, by offering a uniform and widely available platform, blockchain-based solutions can aid in the international exchange of natural capital credits. These technologies will be essential to the development of sustainable environmental practices, biodiversity protection, and investments in natural capital projects as the market grows.
The Biodiversity and Natural Capital Credit market is segmented based on credit type. Based on credit type, the market is segmented into Biodiversity Credits (Habitat/Ecosystem Conservation Credits, Restoration Credits, Species conservation Credits, Avoided Loss Credits), Natural Capital Credits (Carbon Sequestration, Soil Quality Improvement, Watershed Services, Pollination Services), and Hybrid/Bundled Credits (Combined Carbon and Biodiversity Credits, Landscape-level Conservation Credits, Ecosystem Service Packages).
The Biodiversity Credits category is expected to hold a major global market share in 2024 due to the growing need for ecosystem preservation and awareness of the need to lessen the effects of human activity and climate change on biodiversity. The conservation of natural ecosystems is receiving significant funding from both public and corporate sectors, and regional regulatory frameworks are increasingly conforming to biodiversity conservation objectives. As companies are urged to strike a balance between environmental responsibility and economic growth, these credits are also being incorporated into corporate sustainability plans more frequently.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
