Report 2020B: The U.S. Environmental Industry Overview presents the definition, segmentation, and business review of the U.S. environmental industry and its 14 segments. Environmental Business International, Inc. (EBI) has been analyzing and tracking the environmental industry since 1987 and was the first to define the environmental industry in a full quantitative manner in EBI’s internationally renowned Environmental Business Journal. In the absence of any accepted Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes for environmental companies, EBI’s segmentation and quantification of the environmental industry has been adopted by the U.S. Department of Commerce and been used as the basis of industry classification by OECD and numerous other government and private sector sources.

Each segment in this review is characterized in terms of the range of products and services offered, the size of the market, including historical and projected growth, the number of companies participating in the segment, and a list of top firms in comparative time periods. EBI’s basic methodology for market quantification has been annual surveys of revenues generated by companies, broken down three or four different ways such as by customer, by product or service, by media, and by geographic region. Each year, EBI compiles revenue information on over 1,300 environmental companies and public-sector entities generating environmental business revenues.
