Direct Air Capture Market Growing at 68.3% CAGR & Hit $2.58B by 2030, Fueled by Tax Incentives and Corporate Net-Zero Deals, Says Mordor Intelligence

Direct air capture market growth is driven by expanding tax credits, regulated carbon pricing frameworks, and rising corporate offtake momentum. Together, these forces are accelerating investment and scaling deployment across key regions.

Hyderebad, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyderabad, India, November 11, 2025 – According to Mordor Intelligence, the direct air capture market size is valued at around USD 0.19 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2.58 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 68.32% during the forecast period (2025–2030). Strong policy incentives, expanding corporate offtake contracts, and rapid material innovations are reducing costs toward the sub-USD 200 per-ton mark.  

Key Trends Shaping the Market 
 
Stronger Carbon Incentives Boost Direct Air Capture 

New tax credits and rising carbon prices are making direct air capture financially viable. Global policies now reward permanent carbon storage, giving investors more certainty and supporting long-term financing. Though permitting delays remain a challenge, growing carbon costs and renewable credit bundling are accelerating the development of clean-energy hubs. 

Corporate Net-Zero Deals Fuel Market Growth 

Companies are shifting from offsets to long-term carbon removal contracts, providing reliable revenue for DAC projects. Major firms are locking in multi-year agreements, setting quality standards, and helping the industry mature from venture-backed pilots to bankable infrastructure.
