LONDON – Among the carbon footprint management industry trends blockchain technology is gaining traction. Service providers in the carbon footprint management market are increasingly using blockchain technology to improve carbon traceability. Blockchain technology helps to track and analyze energy consumption data in real-time. In March 2022, VeChain Foundation, a blockchain technology provider, announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a US-based provider of cloud-computing services, to support the VeCarbon platform. The platform will merge blockchain with a carbon-neutral digital infrastructure and help companies to manage their carbon footprint and emission targets.

The global carbon footprint management industry size is expected to grow from $7.76 billion in 2020 to $8.63 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The carbon footprint management industry share is expected to reach $11.50 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.4%.

Data Security Concerns Inhibit Carbon Footprint Management Market Growth

The implementation of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP26 is expected to drive the carbon footprint management industry. To accelerate adoption, 5 billion tons of carbon dioxide must be removed from the atmosphere by 2050. According to the World Energy Outlook-2021 which was published in mid-October 2021, more than 120 countries announced new targets for emissions reductions by 2030, and governments representing about 70% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions had pledged to bring those emissions to net zero by 2050.
