In 2024, the global ESG consulting and sustainability advisory market was valued at approximately USD 10.8 billion, with several reports placing it between USD 10.4 billion and USD 11.3 billion. It’s projected to grow at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13–14 % through 2033.

By 2033, the market is expected to reach anywhere from USD 31 billion to USD 48–50 billion, depending on the forecast—GrowthMarketReports estimates approximately USD 31.5 billion, while Global Growth Insights and DataInsightsMarket suggest it could be as high as USD 48.6 billion to USD 50 billion

This exceptional expansion is driven by rising ESG disclosure regulations such as the EU’s CSRD, growing investor pressure for transparency, corporate strategies focused on decarbonization and ESG integration, and increasing adoption of AI and digital tools for ESG reporting

Join us at the leading edge of the ESG consulting sector, capitalizing on robust market momentum, regulatory tailwinds, and technology‑enabled service differentiation—an opportunity to elevate both your impact and revenue in a market that in coming years may well exceed USD 50 billion.

Why this matters now:

• The EU’s CSRD and related ESG disclosure mandates (including UK regulations) came into force in 2024, forcing many firms to accelerate compliance and reporting engagements—and boosting demand for ESG advisory support
• Businesses are shifting from planning to actual implementation, including carbon reduction and supply‑chain resilience strategies—often relying on large tech‑savvy consulting firms and data platforms rather than boutique players
• Increased investment flows into ESG, emergence of AI‑powered analytics tools, and deeper stakeholder scrutiny, particularly from institutional investors and regulators, continue to fuel growth

DRIVER: The beginning of 2024 marked the introduction of new ESG-related regulations and frameworks that have created a record demand for training of professionals and services from sustainability consulting firms. These include updated mandates for ensuring the reliability of ESG reports, ongoing incentives to support the transition to clean energy, and enhanced guidance for assessing impacts.

RESTRAIGNS: The market is expected to face obstacles due to insufficient awareness of ESG consulting and training services. The criteria linked to ESG tend to steer companies towards short-term objectives rather than long-term sustainability goals.

Furthermore, the market is likely to be impeded by the elevated costs associated with consultation services in the foreseeable future. The integration of ESG consulting services into investments is anticipated to incur significant expenses, encompassing additional research, due diligence, and more.

OPPORTUNITIES: The growing demand for ESG consulting and training services among various companies is expected to generate profitable prospects for market actors. CSE since 2005 has been strategically positioned in serious global markets and recognized with competitive advantages in helping companies grow and providing specialized ESG consulting and educational services for business executives.
