Latin America Green Building Materials Market

Latin America Green Building Materials Market Overview:

The Latin America green building materials market size reached USD 23.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 48.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.08% during 2025-2033. The rising environmental awareness, government regulations promoting sustainable construction, the growing demand for energy-efficient buildings, rapid urbanization, increasing construction of eco-friendly residential and commercial projects, and the increasing need to reduce carbon footprints are some of the major factors propelling the Latin America green building materials market growth.

Latin America Green Building Materials Market Trends:

Government Regulations and Sustainability Initiatives

Government regulations and sustainability initiatives are key drivers creating a positive Latin America green building materials market outlook. Many countries in the region have responded with stricter construction regulations and policies supporting energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and the use of sustainable materials. Such measures stimulate developers to adopt sustainable construction practices with the goal of minimizing environmental impacts and meeting global climate goals. The demand for environmentally friendly construction materials is steadily increasing as the focus on sustainability grows. According to industry reports, Argentina’s sustainable construction practices have set a benchmark for environmental sustainability in the region, with notable examples of LEED-certified buildings including Alvear Tower and GNP Seguros Tower. The government’s efforts to establish green building standards and promote sustainable development have further enhanced the country’s reputation as a leader in eco-friendly construction practices. The National Institute of Housing (Instituto Nacional de la Vivienda, or INVICO) has developed green building standards and certification programs to promote sustainable construction practices throughout the country.

Rising Environmental Awareness and Consumer Demand

Latin America is witnessing an increasing number of consumers becoming aware of environmental concerns, leading to the use of green building materials. Therefore, this is positively influencing the Latin America green building materials market share. Developers are also aware of the factors mentioned above, and there is a new trend towards energy-efficient and sustainable structures as individuals increasingly realize the ecological impact of construction activities. As a result, developers are increasingly required to incorporate eco-friendly materials into their builds — whether they are residential or commercial. With more individuals and organizations focusing on green building practices, materials that are recyclable or have lower energy use are becoming increasingly popular. According to a global industry study, São Paulo ranks as the 12th city globally in terms of the number of buildings that possess sustainability certification. An impressive 71% of luxury developments in the city hold a 'green' seal, indicating that these structures are designed to minimize their environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle. Among the 40 cities evaluated in the study, São Paulo surpasses several cities that have historically prioritized sustainability, including Miami (66% of high-end buildings), Los Angeles (65%), New York (61%), Tokyo (51%), Seoul (45%), and Beijing (40%).

Latin America Green Building Materials Market News:

• In September 2024, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) collaborated with WASP to assist in constructing sustainable buildings in Colombia. For this initiative, UNDP acquired a Crane WASP and used local materials including soil and agricultural waste to build in hard-to-reach areas.
• In June 2024, Holcim Mexico launched ECOCycle®, a global technology aimed at recycling 2nd materials from construction and demolition into new products. Such an eco-conscious innovation reduces the use of natural resources and fuels the industry's decarbonization. ECOCycle maximizes the use of these recycled materials across a variety of applications, including low-carbon cement, aggregates for road construction, and ready-mix concrete, all while ensuring performance standards and reducing environmental impact. This is the first time Holcim will provide ready-mix concrete with recycled aggregates in Mexico and Latin America.
