The Sustainable Infrastructure Market Size was valued at USD 48.2 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 223.2 Bn by 2031 at a 21.3% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Sustainable infrastructure aims to benefit society, the economy, and the environment over the long run. It can include devices and infrastructure like telephone poles, bridges, roads, and hydroelectric power plants. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global climate targets can be facilitated by sustainable infrastructure. The main motivators are strict environmental laws and initiatives to lower carbon emissions and support renewable energy sources. All around the world, governments are putting laws into place that require the use of sustainable technologies and practices. Additionally, as energy costs rise, there is an increasing need in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors for energy-efficient solutions. The proliferation of technology like energy management systems, smart meters, and high-efficiency appliances fuels this demand.
In addition, the market for sustainable infrastructure is significantly influenced by the pressing need to combat climate change. People, companies, and governments are realizing increasingly how crucial it is to embrace sustainable practices and cut back on greenhouse gas emissions. Public knowledge and activism for environmental preservation and sustainability are influencing policy decisions and consumer behavior, which is increasing support for sustainable infrastructure initiatives.
The sustainable infrastructure market is segmented based on type and application. The market is segmented based on type: renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, water and waste management, and others. The renewable energy segment is divided into solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and bioenergy. Energy efficiency includes building energy management systems, industrial efficiency solutions, smart grids, and energy storage solutions. The sustainable transportation segment is sub-segmented into electric vehicles (EVs), public transit systems, bicycling and walking infrastructure, and alternative fuels. The water and Waste Management segment is divided into water treatment systems, wastewater management systems, solid waste management solutions, and stormwater management systems. The market is segmented by application into residential, commercial, industrial, and others.
The renewable energy segment is expected to hold a major global market share in 2023. A wide range of energy sources, including biomass, geothermal, hydro, solar, and wind, are included in renewable energy, which provides long-term substitutes for conventional fossil fuels. The rising adoption of renewable energy sources due to environmental concerns, pro-green policies, and the desire for energy security are some of the emerging trends in the renewable energy sector. Other trends include the ongoing decline in the cost of solar and wind technologies. Significant technological advancements have also improved energy conversion efficiencies.
In residential applications, sustainable infrastructure is primarily concerned with eco-friendly building materials, rooftop solar power systems, and energy-efficient dwellings. The increasing use of solar panels for domestic energy generation, the incorporation of green building methods to lessen environmental effects, and the acceptance of smart home technologies for energy management are some trends.
The North American sustainable infrastructure market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. Governments, corporations, and organizations in North America are spending more and more on sustainable infrastructure projects to meet regulatory obligations, address environmental concerns, and reap long-term economic and social advantages. Additionally, smart grids, incorporating renewable energy, and intelligent transportation systems are emerging as essential elements of local infrastructure. Investments and efforts are driving a greater emphasis on environmental sustainability and resilience in infrastructure systems. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to increase in the global sustainable infrastructure market. Sustainable infrastructure trends in the Asia-Pacific area include a sharp increase in the use of renewable energy, especially in nations like China and India that have made significant investments in wind and solar power projects. Smart city projects are changing urban environments to improve sustainability and efficiency by utilizing IoT and AI technologies.

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.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
