KANATAQ ANNOUNCEMENT

New Report: KanataQ State of Sustainability Solutions 2025 is now live

This report maps more than 400 sustainability solutions across 48 countries and 71 categories, giving a clear view of how this fast-growing sector is taking shape.

At KanataQ, our mission is to make it easier for businesses to find the right sustainability partners while giving the market the real-time intelligence it has long lacked. We created this report because decision-makers are still navigating rapid growth, fragmented tools, and rising expectations for credible, actionable outcomes.

A few insights stood out right away:

More than 80% of today’s providers were founded between 2018 and 2024.

• The market is still young. Fewer than 10% of providers existed before 2015.

• Sustainability solutions are shaped by ecosystem drivers such as regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and the rise of plug-and-play ESG stacks through APIs and cloud architecture.

• Providers remain small and agile. 70% employ fewer than 50 people, while only 10% operate at 200 or more employees.

• Most providers fall into the mid-market adoption band, with 36% serving 11 to 50 clients and 29% serving 51 to 200.

We hope that this report helps buyers make smarter, faster, and more strategic decisions. It also offers solution providers a clearer view of how to strengthen their products and commercial models, and it gives investors a real benchmark for where the sector is heading.
