The Global Carbon Offset/Carbon Credit Market Size is Anticipated to Exceed USD 4098.23 Billion by 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 24.32% from 2023 to 2033.

 

Market Overview

A carbon credit is also known as carbon offset which means reducing the intensity of carbon dioxide and other hazardous gases. A carbon offset is a calculable evasion or removal of harmful gases. Rather than paying more than what would be necessary to invest in a company's operations, customers can sponsor greenhouse gas reduction strategies used by individuals to lower their carbon tax liability by funding carbon offset programs. Carbon offsets or carbon credits are market-based mechanisms aimed at lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Governments or regulatory bodies establish caps on greenhouse gas emissions. Some businesses cannot afford to immediately reduce their emissions. As a result, businesses can purchase carbon credits to meet the emission cap. Additional carbon credits are typically awarded to businesses that have carbon offsets. Possible projects to reduce pollution can be funded by selling credit surpluses. To provide carbon credits, carbon offset projects are assessed and built according to certain guidelines and procedures. In voluntary carbon credit markets, liability about the kinds of processes used to improve carbon credits may also be exchanged. Offset projects can be categorized based on the technology used, the kind of greenhouse gas savings, or the particular method used to create the project.

Driving Factors

The market is driven by the rising amount of tree plantations and the escaping of production from the air to eliminate carbon. The emission is reduced by the carbon credits which aid in removing carbon from the atmosphere. Further, the market is boosted by the ability of organizations to buy carbon credits to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the increasing demand for carbon credits is anticipated to drive the market growth. The market is growing during the projected period, because of the low supply of carbon credit which makes the companies to pre-purchase the carbon credits to cover their emission limits. Companies are shifting towards low carbon dioxide emissions in their projects, which helps them lower costs using carbon credits. The remaining carbon credits can be utilized in another project. This helps them not only in saving costs but also in investing in more carbon credits in the future whenever it is essential.

 

Restraining Factors

Since isolated carbon can be released back into the atmosphere, carbon offset projects carry a high risk of having an adverse environmental impact. As a result, market demand is anticipated to be restrained. For example, there is a chance that after clearing trees for palm oil and soy, the land will be authorized by the government to be used for production.

 

Market Segmentation

The global carbon offset/carbon credit market share is classified into type, project type, and end user.

 

  • The voluntary market segment is expected to dominate the global carbon offset/carbon credit market with the major revenue share during the forecast period.

Based on the type, the global carbon offset/carbon credit market is divided into voluntary market and compliance market. Among these, the voluntary market segment is expected to dominate the carbon offset/carbon credit market with the major revenue share during the forecast period. This market works on a worldwide basis, which permits companies and customers from different areas to be involved and support carbon offset creativities universally. This global reach allows everyone to fund sustainable projects around the world and makes it easier to cooperate universally.

 

  • The removal/sequestration projects is anticipated to dominate the market during the projected period.

Based on the project type, the global carbon offset/carbon credit market is divided into avoidance/reduction projects, and removal/sequestration projects. The removal/sequestration projects is further divided into nature-based projects and technology-based projects. Among these, the removal/sequestration projects is anticipated to dominate the market during the projected period. These projects effectively capture and store carbon dioxide from the air. Removal/sequestration is a tangible way to reduce the carbon dioxide level from the environment, hence, being more eye-catching for counteracting emissions.

 

  • The industrial segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period.

Based on the end user, the global carbon offset/carbon credit market is divided into energy, power, transportation, industrial, and others. Among these, the industrial segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. Industries regularly participate in carbon offset projects to reimburse for their productions. The industrial sector's productions can be extensive, making it an important sponsor of the demand for carbon offsets and credits.
