Japan Green Building Materials Market

Green Building Materials are construction materials with the aim of reducing environmental impacts and prioritizing sustainability by producing, manufacturing materials. These construction materials are renewable, recycled, energy efficient, and durable in nature that help in enhancing building efficiency by promoting environment conservation. Raw materials used for production are bamboos, timber, stone, mycelium, and others. The market growth is driven by rising demand for eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and sustainable construction materials. The Japanese government is taking crucial steps with the aim to reduce greenhouse gas emission impact and it increasingly invests in clean energy transition which has resulted into 19% reduction in greenhouse gas emission between 2013 to 2022, which boosts the demand for green building materials. BASF SE, Amvic, and Alumasc Group plc are some of the significant participants in the Japan green building materials market.

Japan Green Building Materials Market Growth Drivers and Restraints

Growth Drivers

• Government initiatives and regulations – The Japanese government initiatives and regulations in adopting advanced green building materials has played a pivotal role in expanding market growth. The most influenced method is CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency) which evaluates the standards and materials produced by manufacturing industry and promote sustainable building all over the country. The government supports eco-friendly construction and promotes it by offering incentives, tax deductions, subsidies, and interest free or low-interest loans, which boosts the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable building materials. Japan’s goal is to be carbon neutral by 2050, by implementing advanced strategies in construction sector, as machineries at construction sites produces 5.7 million tons of CO2.
• Advancement in Material technology – The country’s ambition of adopting advanced technology in construction sector boosts the market growth of Japan green building materials. Technological innovation helps sustainable construction to be more practical and budget-friendly which drives the interest of every income group and opens great investment opportunities for Japanese population. The applicating of cutting-edge technology in constructing eco-friendly buildings include self-healing concrete, low-emission insulation, thermally insulated glass, and others that improves building efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.

Restraints

• High initial costs and limited availability – The green building materials are much efficient for long-term benefits, but at initial stage the materials costs remain higher than conventional options, that impacts the market growth. Also, the availability of eco-friendly materials and labor is still limited, which challenges the market growth in widespread adoption of this construction, especially in under-developed part of Japan. The costs of purchasing, delivering, and implementing are relatively higher that conventional materials, due to green building materials durability and renewable nature. This high cost affects the growth of Japan green building materials market.
