Dublin, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Impact Investing Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The impact investing market is set for exponential growth, with projections indicating it will expand from $629.07 billion in 2025 to $748.35 billion in 2026, representing a CAGR of 19%. This surge is driven by heightened awareness of social responsibility investing, burgeoning sustainable finance initiatives, increased involvement from development finance institutions, the expansion of private equity impact funds, and a burgeoning investor emphasis on long-term value creation.

Looking further ahead, the market is expected to reach $1.54 trillion in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 19.8%. Factors contributing to this forecasted expansion include robust regulatory support for sustainable finance, the proliferation of climate and social impact funds, escalating demand for transparent impact reporting, the integration of technology in impact assessment, and rising participation from mainstream asset managers. Key trends encompass the growing incorporation of ESG metrics in investment decisions, heightened demand for measurable social and environmental returns, and expanded frameworks for impact measurement and reporting.

The influx of millennial investors is a significant catalyst for the growth of impact investing. Characterized by their inclination towards sustainable investments over conventional stocks, millennials view impact investing as a powerful tool for fostering positive social and environmental change. A study conducted by Ernst & Young Global Limited highlighted millennials as a distinct investor group prioritizing sustainable impact over traditional philanthropy. Their increasing influence is a driving force behind the expansion of the impact investing market.

In response, major players in the field are adopting innovative strategies to optimize profitability. One notable example is the December 2023 launch of the Amundi Ambition Agri-Agro investment strategy by France-based asset management company Amundi . This approach, supported by a €130 million commitment, aims to facilitate the transition of European agricultural and agri-food sectors towards sustainable models, prioritizing natural resource preservation and environmentally conscious practices.

Additionally, the market has seen strategic acquisitions, such as Tribe Impact Capital LLP's acquisition of Snowball Impact Management Limited in May 2025. This acquisition aims to bolster Tribe's impact investing capabilities and extend its suite of sustainable investment solutions and advisory services for mission-driven organizations. Snowball Impact Management Limited specializes in providing sustainable strategies and advisory services to socially responsible investors.
