New Report Estimates 26% Growth in Natural-Capital and Biodiversity Credit Market

As a land-development software provider committed to offering sustainable solutions to our clients, we know that AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) firms are increasingly being asked to engage in projects that utilize nature-based solutions. A recent report from Meticulous Research highlights  additional insights in this space: the rapidly growing market for biodiversity and other natural capital credits.

Market projections estimate a 26% growth, with the value of natural capital credits expected to reach nearly $37.55 billion by 2032- a significant leap from its current valuation at just $6 billion. This signals more than just a financial trend. Now more than ever, this market report represents a shift in how ecosystems and biodiversity are being quantified and valued in this industry.

For those of us involved in land development, regeneration, and urban infrastructure projects, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity- How do we continue to do the environmental restoration and built-environment work we are passionate about, while also complying with various credit market standards and capitalizing on this emerging market opportunity?
