The green economy is growing fast and the franchising industry is reaping the benefits. Statistics show that
the green economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the American economy, and the latest exclusive Franchise Direct Green Franchise Business Report 2010 has found that green franchises are harnessing its power.
Perhaps once since a fringe market, the global green economy has blossomed in recent years. As Alisa Harrison of the International Franchise Association told Franchise Direct, “the green trend has been growing for about 25 years now, but it has only recently become mainstream.”
The green economy proved its durability by growing in the wake of the recent recession. Here was proof that consumers would choose environmentally-friendly products even in difficult economic times. Now valued at about $5.2 trillion globally and $1 trillion nationally, the green economy is currently making great strides in the franchising industry.
