The market for impact investing is projected to reach $260.9 billion by 2030 according to ResearchandMarkets Impact Investing – Global Strategic Business Report.

The global market for impact investing was estimated at $76.9 billion in 2023 with the active market expected to be worth $159.8 billion by 2030 and the passive market $41.1 billion.

The report says growth in impact investing is being driven by increasing demand for sustainable and responsible investment options, growing alignment with global sustainability goals, and the expanding role of institutional investors.

The rise of stewardship and shareholder engagement practices is further driving institutional participation in impact investing, as investors use their influence to advocate for positive change within portfolio companies. The development of impact investment benchmarks and indices is also providing institutional investors with tools to measure and compare the performance of impact investments. The growing market for green bonds, social bonds, and sustainability-linked financial instruments is also providing investors with more opportunities to support their impact goals.
