The global Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Database market size is projected to reach USD 247.4 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for sustainable products and services, along with stringent environmental regulations, is driving the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing adoption of LCA in various industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and transportation, is contributing to the market's expansion. The on-premise segment held a dominant market share in 2025, owing to the high cost of cloud-based solutions and the need for data security and control among enterprises. Key trends influencing the market include the rise of Industry 4.0 technologies, which enable real-time data collection and analysis, and the increasing adoption of cloud-based LCA platforms, which offer flexibility and scalability. However, the high cost of LCA software and the lack of trained professionals may pose challenges to the market's growth. Key players in the market include GHG Protocol, Ecochain, Sphera, openLCA Nexus, AssessCCUS, Ecoinvent, openLCA, Swedish Life Cycle Center, Psilca, Fraunhofer IBP, Metsims - Sustainability Consulting, and Carbon Minds. North America and Europe are expected to remain the dominant regional markets, driven by the presence of a large number of environmental regulations and the growing demand for sustainable products and services in these regions.

The global Life Cycle Assessment Database market size was valued at USD 270.0 million in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 320.1 million in 2023 to USD 798.5 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period (2023-2033). The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for environmental sustainability, growing awareness about climate change, and the adoption of life cycle assessment (LCA) in various industries. Key drivers for the market include the growing demand for transparency and sustainability in supply chains, the implementation of regulations related to carbon emissions and environmental protection, and the technological advancements in data collection and analysis. The market is segmented by application into enterprises, municipalities, and others, and by type into on-premise and cloud-based solutions. Major companies operating in the market include GHG Protocol, Ecochain, Sphera, openLCA Nexus, AssessCCUS, Ecoinvent, openLCA, Swedish Life Cycle Center, Psilca, Fraunhofer IBP, Metsims - Sustainability Consulting, and Carbon Minds.

Le programme collectif AGRIBALYSE® met à disposition des données de référence sur les impacts environnementaux des produits agricoles et alimentaires à travers la base de données publique française construite selon la méthodologie des Analyses du Cycle de Vie (ACV)
