Market Dynamics

Increasing Expansion of ESG Data Quality and Analytics

The development of ESG data analytics and quality - new areas of measurement and openness. Companies will undoubtedly need a procedure to generate high-quality, tenable ESG data that is more in line with financial reporting standards as a result of increased legislation and investor pressure. A company's ESG performance is only as good as the quality of its data for investors. Poor data quality can lead to erroneous reporting, a lack of openness, and even criticism from stakeholders if actions are thought to be untrustworthy. Investors can guarantee the accuracy and non-misleading nature of the ESG information by insisting on data transparency. Therefore, major end-user industries are highly adopting such solutions to show transparency in their business. To meet the growing demand for ESG software & solutions, in March 2022, ESG Data Services Inc. announced the release of ESG Analytics, a next-generation AI-powered ESG data, analytics, and research platform. ESG Analytics is a web-based solution and API that uses broad-based alternative data sources and AI to uncover risks and opportunities in the ESG practices of countries, companies, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

• Based on the vertical industry, the market is segmented into BFSI, government, public sector, & non-profit, manufacturing, food & beverages, retail & consumer goods, energy & utilities, and other (transportation and logistics).

Software is projected to Hold the Largest Segment

The software segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The primary factors supporting the growth include businesses' high use of ESG software to gather, examine, and present information on various environmental parameters, including waste production, energy and water use, carbon emissions, and air and water quality. In July 2022, Accenture invested $10.0 million in pulsESG to advance ESG and sustainability measurement, decision-making, and reporting for companies. The pulsESG software provides organizations with a flexible and integrated software as a service (SaaS) platform with internal data sources and external investor-facing systems to define, measure, report on organizational ESG performance, and address issues around ESG data quality and timelines.

Government, Public Sector, & Non-Profit Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

The government, public sector, & non-profit segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. The increasing adoption of ESG reporting software by government, public sector, & non-profit organizations to create long-term sustainable practices that ensure the continuity of their work is a major contributor to the high share of this market segment. Treating a government's ESG exposures the same as a nation's total emissions has been a common strategy owing to the emphasis on global emissions reporting. Governments have the power to greatly affect outcomes through their regulatory and legislative roles, as well as assist with the management and transition costs of ESG risks.

Regional Outlook

The global ESG reporting software market is segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

Growing Demand for ESG Reporting Software in Europe

• The regional growth is attributed to pivotal factors such as increasing demand for ESG reporting software to enhance operational efficiency. The growing adoption of ESG reporting software across various industries in countries such as Germany, the UK, and France across Europe is further aiding regional market growth.
• According to the Atlantic Council, in June 2023, although evolving European and UK, frameworks regulating ESG have similar objectives, the approaches towards sustainable investing vary among the jurisdictional regulations and oversight bodies, especially around labeling and reporting. This disparity has also encroached on the financial industry, where many banks are starting to require local asset managers to comply with European ESG standards despite the existence of similar local regulations.

North America Holds Major Market Share

North America holds a significant share owing to the presence of numerous prominent ESG Reporting Software companies and providers such as IBM Corp., Microsoft Corp., and Salesforce, Inc., in the region.

ESG reporting software plays a critical role in supporting businesses in North America as they monitor, oversee, and document their sustainability performance and objectives. In July 2023, IBM Corp. announced that Digital Realty is using the IBM Envizi ESG Suite to collect, analyze, and report on its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance across its portfolio of 300+ data centers across 50+ metros across 27 countries on six continents. Such developments across the region are further driving the regional market growth.
