End-User Sector Dynamics-ESG Across IndustriesOn the demand side, end-user industries such as Energy & Utilities, Manufacturing, Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare, Information Technology, Consumer Goods, Government & Public Sector, and other verticals are actively embedding AI to elevate ESG outcomes. These sectors vary in their adoption speed and footprint, with Energy & Utilities often setting the pace due to high regulatory and sustainability stakes.
Segment-Level Market Share & Size 2024In 2024, Generative AI commanded the largest share among technology categories-over 41.8%-owing to its prowess in automated ESG content generation, synthetic data creation, and scenario simulation. Meanwhile, the Data Collection & Analysis use-case held more than 37.3% of the market, reflecting its critical role in tackling fragmented ESG data and enabling compliance-ready disclosures.Building & Construction led the verticals in share-with over 31.7% of the market in 2024, highlighting infrastructure's centrality in sustainability transformation.Thus, the market size breakdown shows a clear hierarchy: Generative AI and Data Collection & Analysis dominate technology and functionality, respectively, while sectors like Energy-related construction leverage the largest portion of AI-in-ESG spend.
Descriptive Narrative of Segments & Market ShareOver half of the AI in ESG & sustainability investments in 2024 flowed into Generative AI, as businesses sought tools to craft reports and anticipate regulatory outcomes via synthetic data. Meanwhile, even though data gathering and analysis is a more bread-and-butter capability, it captured over one-third of all spending-serving as the backbone for trustworthy ESG intelligence. On the vertical side, Building & Construction, an industry with heavy material and carbon intensity, garnered nearly a third of the total market, as infrastructure projects and green building standards propelled demand for AI-powered lifecycle, energy, and materials optimisation solutions. Sectors like Energy & Utilities and Manufacturing, closely allied to building infrastructure, also absorbed significant portions, while Financial Services, Retail, Healthcare, IT, Consumer Goods, Government & Public Sector, and an array of others trailed by adopting AI-enabled ESG platforms, each at varying adoption velocities in 2024.
USA Market InsightIn the United States, the AI in ESG & Sustainability market was valued at US$ 48 billion in 2024. That figure is part of North America's broader footprint, which accounted for roughly 43.8% of global share US$ 79.8 billion in 2024. The U.S. alone is expected to grow at a potent CAGR of 26.7%, outpacing global average growth, driven by rising SEC disclosure mandates, institutional investor pressure, and enterprise sustainability strategies that increasingly rely on AI-across carbon accounting, biodiversity tracking, labor auditing, and ESG scoring tools.
Japan Market OverviewBroader M&A and ESG tech trends illustrate that Japanese institutions are intensifying clean-energy and sustainability investments. A recent strategic development exemplifies this: Mizuho, one of Japan's leading banks, is acquiring the London-based clean-energy advisory boutique Augusta & Co to augment its renewable advisory capabilities across Europe. This move, part of an ESG-focused expansion, is expected to conclude by October 2025. While not a direct AI-in-ESG acquisition, it signals Japanese appetite for expertise in ESG transitions-a likely signal of convergence into AI-driven sustainability domains.
