The Global Bio-Based Building Materials Market reached USD 24.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 19% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is fueled by increasing sustainability initiatives and the rising demand for eco-friendly construction materials. Bio-based materials have become highly sought after due to their renewable nature, low carbon footprint, and ability to enhance indoor air quality, making them a cornerstone of modern, sustainable building practices.
By material type, the market is segmented into natural fibers, wood-based products, agro-waste-based products, bio-polymers, bio-insulation materials, bio-concrete, and others. Among these, wood-based products led the market with a valuation of USD 8.2 billion in 2023, and they are expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% from 2024 to 2032. Wood's sustainability, renewability, and biodegradability make it a standout choice over traditional materials. Its versatility, strength, and reduced environmental impact position it as a go-to option for both structural and aesthetic applications in construction and infrastructure projects.
