Vertical Garden Construction Market Analysis

In-depth Analysis of Vertical Garden Construction Market Industry Landscape

The rise in the number of people living in cities is causing some big problems for the environment. Cities and the areas around them are facing issues because they need more infrastructure to provide food, power, and water for the growing population. A lot of these issues come from cutting down trees and plants in cities. According to the World Green Building Council, there has been a significant increase in construction projects worldwide in recent years, and there is a prediction that the demand for green buildings will continue to grow in the next three years. Green buildings are becoming more popular as various organizations are taking steps to promote them. This increase in green buildings has also led to a rise in the construction of vertical gardens all around the world. These gardens help reduce a building's carbon footprint by cleaning the air from pollutants and carbon dioxide. They also bring other environmental benefits.

To support the growth of green buildings, many government authorities are taking steps. The U.S. Green Building Council, for example, has created the LEED certifications program for green wall systems. This program can help property owners earn LEED points, which can increase the value of their buildings. Companies in the green building industry are also focusing on designing environmentally friendly building projects, contributing to the increased demand for vertical garden construction globally. As an example, in 2016, ANS Global set up a green wall in the eating area of Facebook's offices in Dublin. This green wall served as a natural backdrop for the staff. ANS Global was also involved in designing and installing a small ground level living wall for Morrisons, a major supermarket chain in the UK, under their signboard. Such projects are adding to the demand for green buildings and are boosting the global vertical garden construction market.

In 2019, Biotecture Ltd was hired to design, supply, install, and maintain a 114m2 living wall on the North side of the new IMPACT building at Swansea University bay campus in the UK. These examples show that the awareness of green buildings and people's desire to connect with nature are contributing to the increasing demand for vertical garden construction. This demand is expected to keep growing in the coming years. As a result, the impact of the rising demand for green buildings on the global vertical garden construction market is anticipated to shift from moderate to high during the forecast period.
