Hi Everyone:
A recent earth2tech blog post discussed a report published this week by NextGen Research entitled, “Green Building Materials: Cement, Insulation and Wood Products Help Engineer a Greener World.”
According to earth2tech, the report estimates that, “the global green building materials market will grow about 5 percent per year to reach $571 billion by 2013, up from about $455 billion last year. The sweet spots in this growth are cement, engineered wood and insulation products.” According to the blog post, the report defines greener building products, “as those having less of an environmental impact than standard building materials.” Pretty vague.
At $3000 a pop, I’m not sure how many of us will be buying this report, but feel free to check out the earth2tech post. Do you think these growth estimates sound realistic? Have you seen other reports (perhaps more affordably priced) that present similar estimations for growth? What are your predictions?
