Market Dynamics
Introduction
Green building materials are made of renewable sources, which can be recycled or reused rather than nonrenewable resources. They are environmentally friendly materials. Majorly used materials are earthen material, engineered wood, bamboo, insulated concrete forms, and many more.
Market Drivers
The growth of green building material is driven mainly by the factors such as rising awareness towards the environment, rising awareness towards health, and the government's support by means of incentives.
- Growing awareness towards the environment: The growth is driven by the rising awareness towards the environment. The World Green Building Council states that construction accounts for 36% of the world's energy consumption and 39% of global CO2 emissions. Green buildings can cut down consumption of energy by 20-30% and water usage by 30-50%. Green buildings have lower CO2 emissions compared with traditional structures.
- Incentives by government: Many governments also provide incentives for green building materials to promote them. Countries like the US, Germany, Australia, India, etc. provide incentives for green buildings.
- Growing awareness about health: Increasing awareness about the health and well-being of sustainable building practices combined with ongoing technological growth in intelligent building technologies is expected to lead towards the growth of this market. According to research by the US Green Building Council, people spend about 90% of our time indoors, and green buildings promote good indoor air quality.

Challenges
- Higher costs: The increased cost of green building materials is one of the main issues hindering the adoption of green buildings. Utilization of the advanced machinery and materials that are more expensive in comparison to the traditional building materials may result in heavy up-front costs. For instance, solar panels, energy-efficient windows, rainwater harvesting systems, etc. may uplift the costs.
- Construction process complexity: Green buildings need more complex designs as compared to traditional buildings for maximizing the natural light and energy efficiency.
- Lack of skilled manpower: For the construction of green buildings, specialized skills and knowledge about the materials and techniques is required, which may not be available in the local labor market. Nowadays, the local laborers struggle to stay up to date with the rapidly evolving technology and innovative construction methods.
