The global building materials market is expected to reach $1.1 trillion in 2022, which translates in a 20% increase compared to 2019 levels.

This industry is highly dependent on the health of the construction sector, which at the same time responds to fluctuations on the global economy. Within this market, the green building material is the fastest-growing segment, especially in North America and Western Europe.

While there is a degree of fuzziness in the definition of what makes a building material green, it typically means that the product requires fewer resources to produce, reduces building energy needs and water consumption, or is manufactured with post-consumer or post-industrial product content. Globally, the green building material segment is expected to reach $364 billion by 2022.
