BNG Market Intelligence June 2026 - Full Report

The UK Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Market Intelligence Report 2026 is the first independent market-wide assessment of whether Britain’s new biodiversity market is developing fast enough to support future housing and nationally significant infrastructure delivery.
 
Drawing on DEFRA register data, Local Planning Authority disclosures, supplier mapping, NSIP pipeline analysis and emerging transaction evidence, the report provides a detailed picture of how the market is evolving by habitat type, geography and infrastructure demand corridor. It examines pricing trends, liquidity, supply concentration, emerging regional shortages and the growing mismatch between strategic infrastructure demand and available biodiversity unit supply.
 
The report is designed for infrastructure developers, planning and environmental consultancies, investors, landowners, local authorities, utilities, insurers and policymakers seeking a clearer understanding of one of the world’s first mandatory biodiversity markets. For organisations exposed to planning risk, infrastructure delivery or natural capital investment, the report provides an evidence-based view of where constraints, opportunities and market imbalances are beginning to emerge across the UK.
