The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for Zero-Energy Building (ZEB) was estimated to be worth US$ 36854 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 116792 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) achieve year-round energy self-sufficiency through efficient energy-saving design and integration of renewable energy systems. Its core technologies include:

Passive energy saving: High-performance insulation materials (such as aerogel insulation layers) reduce building energy consumption by more than 85% compared to traditional standards;

Active energy: Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems increase power generation efficiency to 22%, combined with energy storage batteries to achieve round-the-clock energy balance;

Smart management: AI-driven building energy management systems (BEMS) dynamically optimize energy consumption, reducing operational costs by 15%-20%.

Driving Factors

Policy Mandates: The EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires new buildings to achieve zero fossil fuel emissions by 2028, while China's 14th Five-Year Plan sets a target of improving energy efficiency in new buildings by 30% by 2025;

Technological Innovation: Photovoltaic-Storage-Direct-Flexible (PEDF) technology integrates photovoltaics, energy storage, direct current distribution, and flexible electricity use, with system costs decreasing by 37% compared to 2020;

Economic Returns: The incremental cost of zero-energy buildings in China has been reduced to 15%-20% of conventional buildings, with a payback period shortened to 7-9 years.

The zero-energy building industry is currently in a dual-benefit period driven by policy and technological breakthroughs. As technologies such as PEDF and perovskite mature, and carbon pricing mechanisms are refined, China is poised to become the largest single market. Companies should focus on three key areas: ultra-wide spectrum coverage, multi-sensor fusion, and intelligent operation and maintenance services. They should also prioritize improvements in low-temperature performance and data standardization to address the opportunities and challenges brought by energy transition and environmental protection.
