Forestry & Landuse Carbon Credit Market size is expected to reach USD 67 billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 14% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of forestry & landuse carbon credit was close to USD 23 billion. This growth of the revenue in the market is poised to be encouraged by the growing prevalence of deforestation. Grass deforestation in the world reached over 6 million hectares and the situation in tropical forests is set to be worse where Denmark-sized land has been lost. As a result, the demand for forestry & landuse carbon credit is predicted to rise.
Furthermore, strict regulations have been launched by regulatory bodies which is further influencing the organizations to understand their responsibility towards the environment and additionally boosting their desire to increase environmental credentials. They are achieving this by purchasing carbon credits hence displaying their commitment towards sustainability. Therefore, this element is also poised to encourage the market expansion for forestry & landuse carbon credit over the years to come.

Voluntary carbon credits offer a channel for entities to examine their dedication to sustainability and environmental management further than regulatory requirements. Therefore, as the intensity of awareness about climate change grows, the necessity for voluntary forestry and land use carbon credits rises, further encouraging market revenue to grow.
Type (Voluntary, Compliance)
The compliance segment in the forestry & landuse carbon credit market is also set to have significant growth in the revenue during the forecast period. Compliance markets are developed and operated by mandatory national, regional, or international carbon reduction programs. Generally, commune to as cap-and-trade markets or emission trading systems (ETS), these are markets in businesses within capped sectors, that are required to not exit than their regulated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cap. If the emission crosses the cap, the organization must offset by reducing the emissions in order places, with such transactions happening within the compliance market.
