Green Hospitals Global Market Report 2025

Green hospitals are healthcare facilities dedicated to prioritizing environmental sustainability and minimizing their ecological impact. These facilities employ various practices, including waste reduction, water conservation, and the use of eco-friendly materials, to promote both human health and environmental well-being.

Key green technology types utilized in green hospitals include energy-efficient lighting, renewable energy sources, and waste reduction programs. Energy-efficient lighting involves the use of LED technology, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting to reduce energy consumption while ensuring optimal illumination levels. Green hospitals typically provide a range of medical services, surgical services, and emergency care, often striving to attain certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, Green Globes certification, and Energy Star certification. These hospitals may be owned by government entities, private organizations, or non-profit institutions, serving end users such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The green hospitals market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $45.81 billion in 2024 to $51.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to global awareness of environmental challenges, the need for sustainable practices, the increasing number of hospitals pursuing sustainability, the adoption of renewable energy, and green hospitals contributing significantly to carbon emissions.

The green hospitals market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $81.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to organizations assisting hospitals in achieving their zero-emission goals, use of sustainable building materials, developing of green hospitals, increasingly adopting green procurement policies, and healthcare initiatives to promote sustainability. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, advanced technologies such as energy-efficient lighting, renewable energy sources, waste reduction programs to enhance sustainability, and a wide range of environmentally conscious healthcare services.

The forecast of 12.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder U.S. healthcare sustainability by inflating prices of solar-medical waste systems and energy-efficient MRI coolers developed in Germany and Denmark, resulting in delayed eco-friendly hospital conversions and increasing facility retrofit costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing government initiatives to promote sustainable healthcare are expected to accelerate the growth of the green hospital market. These initiatives encompass policies and actions designed to ensure that healthcare systems meet current needs while preserving resources and the environment for future generations. Governments are advancing sustainable healthcare by focusing on resource conservation, equitable access to healthcare, and encouraging eco-friendly practices such as energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and waste reduction, especially in green hospitals. For example, in June 2023, ZonMw, a Netherlands-based healthcare research and innovation organization, signed the Sustainable Healthcare Green Deal 3.0, joining other signatories in a collective commitment to reduce the healthcare sector's environmental impact. The government has expressed its goal to make healthcare more sustainable in various policy documents and agreements. The previous administration had already committed, through the Climate Act (Klimaatwet), to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, a target that healthcare institutions will also need to meet. As a result, the rising government efforts to foster sustainable healthcare are driving the growth of the green hospital market.

Leading companies in the green hospital market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to embed sustainability as a core priority in healthcare facilities. These partnerships facilitate the development and implementation of sustainable practices, technologies, and initiatives to promote environmental conservation and operational efficiency in hospitals. For instance, in February 2024, the Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare (NCSH) partnered with Mamta Health Institute for Mother and Child (MAMTA HIMC) to establish the Green Hospital Initiative. This collaborative effort aims to empower hospitals and healthcare providers to enhance efficiencies, environmental stewardship, patient safety, and care quality through the adoption of green practices. By offering guidance and fostering collaboration, this initiative drives positive change within healthcare facilities, emphasizing sustainable leadership, waste management, energy efficiency, water conservation, and more.

In February 2023, Lenus Capital Partners acquired Clinica Medicadiz SAS, aligning with its vision to enhance sustainable healthcare services, particularly in Colombia's intermediate urban centers. This acquisition underscores Lenus' commitment to advancing environmentally sustainable practices within the healthcare sector. Clinica Medicadiz SAS, a Colombia-based green hospital and healthcare company, specializes in implementing eco-friendly solutions such as energy efficiency, water treatment, and air treatment. Through this strategic alignment, Lenus is poised to oversee nearly 1,000 healthcare beds nationwide while exploring expansion opportunities in Colombian and Latin American cities, further consolidating its position in sustainable healthcare investments.
