What Are The Factors Driving The Sustainability Certification Market?
Anticipated to be spurred by escalating consumer interest in environmentally friendly commodities, growth in the market for sustainability certification is on the horizon. Environmentally-friendly goods are those which have the least possible impact on the environment throughout their existence, from their design and manufacturing process to their usage. This surge in preference for such products can be attributed to eco-conscious consumers who want sustainable options that not only minimize environmental havoc, but also align with their health and ethical beliefs without any sacrifice in quality or convenience. Through verification of the environmental integrity of these green goods, sustainability certification lends credence to these products, assuring customers that they adhere to trustworthy standards for responsible and ecological practices. As an illustration, Converged by Propel, a provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) based in the U.S, reported in June 2024 that U.S. consumers' spending on sustainable goods increased by 33% more than the previous year, elevating the average annual expenditure on green products from $9,000 in 2023 to $12,000. Consequently, this mounting consumer demand for green products is fueling growth in the sustainability certification market.

What Are The Key Trends Shaping The Sustainability Certification Industry?
The sustainability certification market is witnessing a trend where leading organizations are prioritizing single-attribute certifications. These certifications offer the potential for improved transparency and compliance with regulations when making distinct environmental claims They focus on verifying a single specific environmental feature like electronic efficiency, recycled material, or biodegradability. Take SGS S.A., a Switzerland-based leader in testing, verification, and certification services, as an example - in May 2024, they initiated the SGS Green Mark. This is a sustainability certification scheme that examines seven different environmental assertions, such as biodegradability and using recyled materials. Companies across different sectors can use this certification to independently verify their environmental efforts, ensure their claims are scientifically backed, and are in line with established standards.
