Increasing adoption of policies on carbon emissions is notably driving market growth. Governments around the world are increasingly regulating carbon emissions. These regulations require businesses to track and manage their carbon emissions, which is driving demand in the market. For instance, in the US, under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the US EPA regulates greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This gives the US EPA the flexibility to implement a standard for greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon emissions, from power plants. Similarly, the cap and trade policy, also known as emissions trading, has been adopted in European countries as well as several Chinese cities and provinces.
Moreover, companies such as American Electric Power and Duke Energy are allowed to buy and sell allowances, and therefore, the market establishes a price for emissions. These regulations have created the need for enterprises to calculate the carbon footprint or greenhouse emissions during a given period. This has created demand across the globe and is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for Software as a Service (SaaS)-based carbon accounting software is an emerging market trend. SaaS-based software allows organizations to scale their usage based on their needs. This scalability is particularly beneficial for businesses of varying sizes, from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations, adapting to changing requirements and workloads. Cloud-based SaaS solutions provide accessibility from anywhere with an internet connection. This enables remote access, facilitating collaboration among teams and stakeholders involved in carbon accounting and sustainability reporting, regardless of geographic location.
Moreover, SaaS solutions eliminate the need for organizations to invest in and maintain extensive IT infrastructure. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that prefer to focus on their core operations without the burden of managing complex IT environments. Thus, the increasing demand for SaaS-based segment will enhance the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Lack of awareness in adopting low-carbon emission infrastructure is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Lack of awareness in adopting low-carbon emission infrastructure is one of the major challenges in the market. Recent technological advances and the subsequent decline in the prices of electronic devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, and others encourage customers to buy new products frequently. This has led to a reduction in the shelf life/lifecycle of these products. Thus, there is an increased accumulation of electronic waste, which is not only unsafe but also contributes to waste generation and pollution.
Moreover, the lack of awareness about the negative effects of the improper disposal of electronic products and electronic waste is expected to reduce the demand. This overall lack of awareness is expected to restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the industrial engineering segment will be significant during the forecast period. Carbon accounting software helps telecommunications companies monitor and analyze their energy consumption, including the energy used in data centres, network infrastructure, and office facilities. This includes electricity consumption, which is a significant contributor to carbon emissions.

The industrial engineering segment was the largest and was valued at USD 810.00 million in 2018. Further, telecom companies have deployed carbon accounting software in order to monitor their carbon emissions and reduce their operational costs. In the telecom sector, components that are responsible for carbon emissions include antennas, feeders, cables, and other transmission equipment. Moreover, passive components, such as telecom towers, sites, and others, are also responsible for carbon emissions. Telecommunications companies use carbon accounting software to support eco-design initiatives, enabling the development of more energy-efficient products and services. This contributes to reducing the overall carbon impact of the telecommunication industry offerings. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the telecommunication segment of the market during the forecast period.
Cloud-based carbon accounting software allows organizations to scale their usage based on their needs. They can easily add or remove users, adjust storage capacity, and access new features or modules as required in the cloud-based carbon accounting software. This scalability enables organizations to adapt their carbon accounting software to changing business requirements and accommodate growth. Further, organizations in industries such as oil and gas, telecommunication, retail, and transportation are leveraging cloud-based deployment to access robust, scalable, and cost-effective software that helps them measure, manage, and reduce their carbon emissions effectively. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the cloud-based segment and boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
