Top Global Mega Trends Propel Green Development in Asia’s Buildings Sector

Global mega trends such as urbanisation and economic and technological development are changing the demographics and financial outlook in Asia which have given a thrust to economic activities in the region, inevitably leading to a boom in the demand for residential and non-residential building spaces.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.buildingtechnologies.frost.com), Asia-Pacific Buildings Sector: Macro to Micro Implications of Mega Trends to 2025, finds that the Asia-Pacific market for building construction is expected to reach US$2.73 billion by 2025, growing at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of almost 7% from 2011.

The buildings sector is known as one of the biggest consumers of energy and emitters of carbon dioxide. To reduce energy intensity and carbon emissions, Green Buildings are likely to be one of the main solutions, which will eventually generate opportunities for prefabrication/modularization, light emitting diodes (LEDs), building management and services and etc. With an expected annual growth of nearly 30% from 2012, the size of the green buildings market is likely to reach US$1.20 trillion in 2025 and 35-45% of green buildings revenues are likely to come from green retrofit of non-green buildings, and the rest from new green buildings.

The building construction community is anticipated to prepare for the boom of green buildings developments. Architects, engineers, interior designers, developers, facility managers, contractors and governments are eager to learn and source the latest products and technology available in the market.
