The anticipated surge in the ESG investment analytics market is attributed to the escalating need for ESG data among investors. ESG data comprises information about a company's operations and its performance on sustainability and ethical matters, provided via specific policies and frameworks. Companies are continually urged to reveal particular ESG specifics such as their environmental impact, governance measures, and social initiatives. This openness permits investors to make better decisions while holding companies responsible for their actions. ESG investment analytics assist investors in making knowledgeable choices by incorporating ESG factors into their analysis, enabling a deeper comprehension of how companies handle sustainability and ethics-related risks and opportunities. For instance, the ESG Global Study released by Capital Group, a US-based financial services firm in May 2022, showed a rise in the acceptance of ESG data among investors, with 89% in 2022, up from 84% in 2021 of the 1,130 surveyed participants. Furthermore, 31% of European investors deem ESG data as crucial to their investment strategy, while 26% of investors worldwide consider it an important part of their investment plan. Hence, the escalating need for ESG information among investors will propel the ESG investment analytics market's growth.
