Hong Kong makes up 6% of Asia’s green market cap

Taiwan and China lead the green economy in Asia, with each representing 30%.

Hong Kong ranks fourth in Asia for green market capitalisation, making up 6% of the region's total, according to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

Taiwan and China led the green economy in Asia, with each representing 30% of the green economy, followed by Japan at 21%.

In terms of green revenue generation, however, China led the region, producing over one-third of Asia’s green revenue, followed by Japan (29%) and Hong Kong (11%).

Taiwan fell behind, contributing only 4% of the region’s green revenue.

Asia generates most of the global green revenue at 44%, which is 13 percentage points higher than the Americas.

However, Asia’s green economy declined in Q1 2025, in line with the global downward trend.

This was mainly driven by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC)’s decline of $577b (US$74b) in green market capitalisation, with the rest of the green economy in Asia moving by less than $7.8b (US$1b) in this quarter.
