Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings: Global Commercial Energy Efficiency Technology Market Analysis and Forecasts, 2025-2034

Commercial buildings have increasingly adopted energy efficient technologies over the past decade. Regulations, incentives, and the energy savings associated with efficient technologies have historically driven the market. While "smart building" and "advances in IoT" have been improving these technologies over the past decade, the growth of AI has the potential to be a larger technical driver.

Despite these consistent drivers, energy efficient technologies have historically faced strong barriers. The technologies that are the most efficient often have the highest upfront investment costs. System complexity further compounds the issue, as building owners often prefer quick, simple solutions rather than undertaking intensive retrofits for the most efficient technologies. While the commercial building market is mature, market leaders are still innovating and the technology is still evolving to become more efficient, more cost effective, and easier to implement.

This report discusses these market drivers and barriers across various energy efficiency technologies in detail, evaluating their impact on the market for these technologies over the next 10 years. The market forecast estimates energy efficiency technology revenue from 2025-2034 across five global regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa), five technology types (building energy management systems, heat pumps, HVAC controls, LEDs, lighting controls), and construction type (existing buildings, new construction). The market for energy efficiency technologies is expected to grow from US$173.7 billion in 2025 to US$265.5 billion in 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%.
