Internationalisation of the environmental technology industry in Baden-Württemberg

Client

Landesagentur Umwelttechnik BW (UTBW)

Year

2024


Baden-Württemberg is an exporting state – including for innovative products and technical solutions for environmental and climate protection (green tech). The demand for such products and solutions is increasing worldwide.

The State Agency for Environmental Technology Baden-Württemberg (UTBW) supports companies based in Baden-Württemberg in the internationalisation and export of environmental technology and resource-efficient solutions. The aim is to identify sales opportunities for local companies and to raise global awareness of the location and expertise in the state.

This requires up-to-date, comprehensive and dedicated market information. Prognos supports the state agency in this. On the one hand, we provide overarching market data such as trade volumes or growth prospects of the global environmental technology industry and, on the other hand, dedicated industry profiles for the various leading markets for environmental technology.

In 2024, we updated the data.

Targeted expansion with current market data

The project results show the importance and dynamics of international green tech markets for domestic companies. The top 10 markets include both nearby European and promising non-European countries. The most important export destination for companies from Baden-Württemberg is still the USA, while China is losing importance as a sales market.

The results for each lead market were presented in clear market profiles. These can be requested on the UTBW website.

Our approach

Prognos supported the UTBW in collecting market information and provided, on the one hand, overarching market data for the global environmental technology industry and, on the other hand, specific industry profiles for the various lead markets for environmental technology.
