The global green economy, a market providing climate and environmental solutions, has expanded considerably over the last decade, representing a significant investment opportunity. Following a notable decline in 2022, it made a strong recovery in 2023, with market capitalisation reaching US$7.2 trillion in Q1 2024.
Headwinds remain, such as overcapacity issues and trade barriers related to renewable energy equipment and electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. And, following downsizing at some large US green companies earlier this year, the share of the green economy in the market dropped slightly from 8.9% at the end of 2023 to 8.6% in Q1 2024.
But, despite market volatility and increasingly complex geopolitical risks, the green economy is expanding, and its long-term growth (10-year CAGR of 13.8%) outpaces the broader listed equities market.
