The global trend of 'Building Green' is quickly becoming the norm in the GCC. According to Navigant Research, the worldwide market for green construction materials is projected to grow from $116 billion in 2013 to over $254 billion by 2020. The benefits of green building, including energy savings and environmentally-friendly techniques, have gained acceptance, driving demand for sustainable building certifications and materials that reduce environmental impact.
Growth areas in the industry include the production of concrete from recycled materials like ash from power furnaces, sustainable forestry wood, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, and energy-efficient lighting. These sectors are expected to see substantial growth, as highlighted by Freedonia Group's green building materials report.
