Eco-innovation has emerged in support of sustainable development, in collaboration with the Sustainable Development Goals, in such a way that governments and institutions have integrated it as a strategic part. This work aims to show eco-innovations state of the art through a bibliometric analysis, identifying its progress in the business, political, social, and environmental fields through a cross-sectional visualization of the literature from 1996-2022. Documents were extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, totaling 3939; These were filtered and analyzed in Tableau, Sci-Mat and VOSviewer software. The results indicate that it has been a growing topic since the year 2000, identifying principal authors, countries, and journals and their relationship in the business, social, political, and environmental fields, as well as its influence on emerging research topics such as circular economy, environmental economy, life cycle, eco-efficiency, energy efficiency, environmental management, among others.

La eco-innovación ha surgido en apoyo al desarrollo sostenible, en colaboración con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, de tal modo que gobiernos e instituciones la han integrado como parte estratégica. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar el estado del arte de la eco-innovación por medio de un análisis bibliométrico, identificando su progreso en el ámbito empresarial, político, social y ambiental, a través de una visualización transversal de la literatura en el periodo de 1996-2022. Se extrajeron documentos de las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus, sumando un total de 3939; estos se filtraron y analizaron en los softwares Tableau, Sci-Mat y VOSviewer. Los resultados indican que es un tema en crecimiento a partir del año 2000 identificando principales autores, países, revistas y su relación en el ámbito empresarial, social, político y ambiental; así como su influencia en temas de investigación emergentes como lo son economía circular, economía ambiental, ciclo de vida, ecoeficiencia, eficiencia energética, gestión ambiental, entre otros.
