  Growing environmental awareness among consumers is driving the market growth

  
  

The demand for eco-friendly or less damaging items has increased in response to customers' growing environmental consciousness. The primary factors that are driving the market's growth over the forecast period are the government initiatives for reducing waste output and reducing carbon footprint. Environmentally friendly items are in high demand from consumers. As a result, businesses began using green manufacturing to develop goods and services. Smart technology protects the environment and offers green IT within its bounds.

The world has reached new levels of growth thanks to globalisation, which has also quickened the speed of development in many developing nations, especially India and China. Environmental resources are continuously exploited for the purposes of industrialization and expansion. Environmentalists and ecologists warn that if this rate of exploitation continues, the world and its ecosystem won't be suitable for a sustainable way of life any time soon. This is where "green technology" enters the picture. It uses technology in a way that, on the one hand, maintains a development brought about by globalisation while lowering the amount of unfavourable environmental impact to the barest minimum.

Growing environmental consciousness and worries about global warming among businesses and consumers are driving the industry's growth. A few other important factors projected to drive market expansion in the approaching years include rising consumer and business interest in employing clean energy sources as well as an increase in the deployment of RFID sensors that cut carbon emissions. The high cost of the products and solutions associated with green technology and sustainability solutions, however, is a significant factor that is predicted to somewhat constrain the market's expansion. The market is also benefiting from the rise in good public and private initiatives to tackle climate change and air pollution. The majority of green cloud computing uses green data centre technology. In green data centres, also known as sustainable data centres, energy-efficient technologies are largely used for data management, storage, and operation. According to the 2020 U.S. Data Centre Energy Use Report, data centres in the U.S. are expected to use close to 73 billion kWh in 2020. Furthermore, 259 TWh of electricity would be consumed by data centres in Europe, according to the European Commission. Green data centres will be widely implemented due to the high energy consumption, increasing the market share for green technology and sustainability.

Due to environmental threats to human life, such as energy depletion, climate change, and global warming, green technologies have lately emerged. Many governments have acknowledged the necessity of green technology, as well as the need for technological transformation and economic diversity. Additionally, it is estimated that the market for green technology and sustainability would expand faster throughout the projected period as more people become aware of the benefits of sustainable solutions. Thus, driving the Green Technology and Sustainability market revenue.
