The global green bonds market was valued at USD 587.70 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.03% from 2024 to 2033. The global green bonds market is expected to reach USD 960.04 billion by 2033.

2. Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Global Sustainability Targets: Net‑zero pledges by governments and corporates increase demand for green financing.
• Investor ESG Mandates: Pension funds, insurers, and asset managers allocate capital to green bonds to meet ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) criteria.

• Greenwashing Risks: Issuers may overstate environmental credentials, undermining investor confidence.
• Limited Project Pipeline: In some emerging economies, a shortage of bankable, large‑scale green projects.
