Green technology markets projected to reach $7.1 trillion by 2030

Despite public debate regarding the bureaucratic costs and regulatory burdens imposed by the European Union, green technologies are emerging as a significant driver of global economic growth and innovation.

According to a study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), international green markets were valued at approximately five trillion dollars in 2024, with projections suggesting growth to 7.1 trillion dollars by 2030. Furthermore, a McKinsey study indicates that environmentally friendly technologies could contribute one to two percentage points to global GDP and create between 20 and 30 million jobs worldwide.

In Germany, the green-tech sector has become one of the most important growth areas for the national economy, as noted in the Green Tech Atlas 2025 by the Federal Environment Agency.
