Cloud emissions management refers to the process of monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing greenhouse gas emissions produced by cloud computing resources and data centers. It enables organizations to measure their carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and implement sustainable cloud strategies to meet environmental objectives.
The primary components of cloud emissions management include software and services. Software is a digital platform that allows organizations to monitor, measure, analyze, and optimize carbon emissions from cloud infrastructure, supporting sustainability improvements and environmental compliance. These solutions are deployed via public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud models and cater to organizations of varying sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. They are applied across multiple use cases such as carbon footprint management, energy management, sustainability reporting, compliance management, and other applications. Additionally, these solutions serve a range of end-user industries including information technology (IT) and telecom, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, manufacturing, retail, government, and other sectors.
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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
The cloud emissions management market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cloud emissions management market statistics, including cloud emissions management industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cloud emissions management market share, detailed cloud emissions management market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cloud emissions management industry. This cloud emissions management market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cloud emissions management market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.61 billion in 2024 to $2.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing enterprise adoption of cloud technologies, rising awareness of carbon footprint reduction, greater implementation of sustainability regulations, expansion of data center infrastructure, and growing investments in green cloud initiatives.
The cloud emissions management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for carbon transparency, rising need for sustainable information technology (IT) operations, growing focus on net-zero cloud operations, expansion of renewable energy-powered data centers, and enhanced corporate sustainability reporting requirements. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in cloud carbon accounting technologies, innovations in energy-efficient computing architectures, development of automated sustainability dashboards, research and development in carbon-neutral cloud solutions, and integration of internet of things (IoT) sensors with cloud platforms.
The growing focus on integrated sustainability solutions is expected to drive the growth of the cloud emissions management market in the coming years. Integrated sustainability solutions refer to coordinated strategies and practices that address environmental, social, and economic impacts simultaneously to achieve long-term sustainable outcomes. This focus is increasing due to comprehensive government policies and corporate initiatives that promote coordinated actions to meet sustainability objectives. Cloud emissions management supports these solutions by monitoring and reducing information technology (IT) carbon emissions, helping organizations align their operations with broader environmental goals. For instance, according to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, a UK government ministerial department, total UK net territorial greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 were estimated at 385 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, a 5 percent decrease from the 2022 estimate of 405 million tons, reflecting ongoing efforts to reduce emissions. Therefore, the growing emphasis on integrated sustainability solutions is driving the growth of the cloud emissions management market.
Key companies in the cloud emissions management market are increasingly focusing on sustainable cloud solutions, such as lifecycle-based analysis of carbon footprints, to enhance transparency, optimize energy use, and minimize environmental impact across cloud infrastructures. Lifecycle analysis of carbon footprints enables organizations to evaluate emissions generated throughout the entire hardware lifecycle, from manufacturing and transportation to operational use and end-of-life disposal, providing a comprehensive view of cloud sustainability. For instance, in July 2025, OVH Groupe SA, a France-based cloud computing company, launched its Environmental Impact Tracker to increase transparency in energy consumption and carbon emissions, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable and responsible cloud ecosystem. The tracker provides detailed insights into emissions across cloud services, including bare metal, public cloud, and hosted private cloud. It measures Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and incorporates lifecycle analysis to assess the full environmental impact of hardware assets. Additionally, it enables customers to make informed decisions to reduce their carbon footprint and improve sustainability performance, highlighting OVHcloud's dedication to transparent and environmentally responsible cloud operations.
In July 2025, Green Project Technologies Inc., a US-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, acquired Emitwise for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Green Project Technologies aims to enhance its supply chain decarbonization and cloud-based emissions management capabilities by integrating Emitwise's advanced carbon accounting platform. This integration enables organizations to measure, manage, and reduce emissions across their operations and supplier networks. Emitwise Ltd. is a UK-based company providing cloud emissions management solutions focused on carbon accounting and decarbonization for complex supply chains.
