Global Sustainable Finance Market is valued at approximately USD 3650 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 20.1% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Sustainable Finance refers to financing projects that follow Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) practices. There are different types of sustainable financing products available such as green bonds, renewable energy equity financing, carbon credits, and public institutional equity investing among others. The rising investment in business with sustainable ESG practices and growing penetration of FinTech Platforms worldwide as well as recent initiatives from leading market players are key factors accelerating the market growth.
According to the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) estimates - during Financial Year 2021 approximately USD 749.8 billion worth of ESG bonds & loans were issued across Europe, witnessing an increase of over 89% from USD 396.4 billion in FY 2020. In addition, ESG bond issuance represented 20.2% of total European bond issuance during 2021, from 9.3% in 2020. Also, rising awareness of sustainable business operations and growing expansion of global banking and financial services sector would create growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the lack of penetration from developing regions stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
