Green Composites Market size was valued at USD 32.33 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 82.78 billion by 2037, registering over 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of green composites is evaluated at USD 36.33 billion.
Governments around the world are introducing regulations to reduce carbon emissions and encourage the use of environmentally friendly materials. These regulations and initiatives consist of tax benefits, subsidies, and incentives for industry players to adopt eco-friendly sustainable solutions such as green composites. For instance, the European Union has set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, and using eco-friendly composite materials can help achieve these goals.
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the products they use. Therefore, nowadays consumers are highly watchful of what they are purchasing and consuming. As a result, there is a growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly products, including eco-friendly composite materials. Also, manufacturers and producers are responding to this demand of customers and as a result, they implementing green composites in their products as per customer preference. Research shows that 60% of consumers worldwide consider sustainability when making purchasing decisions.
Green Composites Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Environmental Concerns Across the World - Growing environmental concerns around the world are driving the green composites market as consumers and industry seek sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional materials. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has identified green composites as a promising solution to environmental problems. UNEP recognizes the potential of green composites to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce waste and improve resource efficiency.
- Increasing Product Demand from Marine, and Automotive Industries – Demand for environmentally friendly composite materials from various industries such as marine, and automotive industries due to their benefits in terms of sustainability, weight reduction, and performance enhancement is growing rapidly. Reportedly, with the help of lightweight materials such as green composites a 10% reduction in vehicle weight has the potential to improve fuel efficiency by 6% to 8%.
- Growing Focus on Green Composites by Market Players – A large number of market players are substituting fossil feedstock with bio-based food ingredients materials. Therefore, manufacturers are focusing on incorporating biodegradable substitutes in their products as a result of the demand for green and sustainable products by consumers.
Challenges
- High in Cost - Green composites can be more expensive than traditional materials, making them less competitive in price-sensitive markets. Manufacturers need to find ways to reduce production costs and enhance economies of scale to make green composites more cost-effective.
- Lack of Standardization in Manufacturing Technologies
- Technical Limitations
