Green bonds market is advancing rapidly as the EU green bond standard fuels corporate issuance, clean-energy cost declines improve project viability, and new instruments like biodiversity-linked and tokenized bonds expand sustainable investment opportunities.
Hyderabad, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyderabad, India – October 15, 2025, According to Mordor Intelligence, the green bonds market size is valued at USD 673 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 814 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.91%. Market momentum is supported by the convergence of net-zero commitments and investor decarbonization mandates, alongside reduced issuance costs enabled by tokenization and digital ledgers. While regulatory alignment remains gradual, the EU’s labeling framework is fostering more transparent reporting and price discovery. At the same time, sovereign issuances are shaping green bonds into key public-sector tools for climate finance, and corporate participation is expanding declining renewable energy costs to enhance project viability across global markets.
