The carbon credit market valued at USD 114.8 billion in 2024, is projected to expand at a remarkable CAGR of 15.8 percent between 2025 and 2034.

Carbon credits have become a cornerstone in tackling climate challenges, offering businesses and governments a mechanism to offset emissions while advancing sustainability. This dynamic market is driven by the growing importance of meeting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, alongside stricter regulations and corporate commitments to carbon neutrality, GMInsights said.

As industries increasingly prioritize environmental accountability, demand for carbon credits has surged, catalyzing innovation in trading platforms and carbon offset initiatives. The integration of carbon credits with renewable energy certificates and biodiversity credits underscores a shift toward holistic environmental solutions, further fueling market growth.

The compliance carbon credit segment is expected to generate USD 458 billion by 2034, reflecting the expanding global commitment to regulated carbon markets. Enhanced by science-based initiatives and global collaboration, over a hundred projects are underway to establish uniform standards and methodologies.

These initiatives are driving market expansion and facilitating the alignment of compliance markets with broader environmental strategies. As carbon credit exchanges link with other environmental markets, the path to comprehensive sustainability solutions is becoming more defined, offering opportunities for businesses to reduce their carbon footprints effectively.
