Elevators And Escalators Market Overview
Elevators and Escalators Market was valued at US$ 110.2 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.40% to reach US$ 556 Billion by 2034.
Elevators, also called "lifts," are used to carry passengers and freight up and down, while escalators are moving staircases used from one story of a building to the next. Moving walkways or sidewalks are designed to carry people horizontally.
Rapid growth in urbanization and rising residential and commercial high-rise buildings have become vital factors in the growth of the elevator and escalator market. Transporting people and goods to different levels of buildings has increased the demand for elevators and escalators market. The primary factor in the growth of the Elevator and Escalator market is due to increasing demand for energy savings and technological advancement.
Elevators And Escalators Market Drivers & Restraints
Rapid Growth in Urbanization
Rapid growth in urbanization has become the primary factor in Elevator and Escalator market growth. Urbanization has given the rise in industrialization, rising construction activities, malls, and metros, which have driven the target market growth. The use of elevators makes mobility convenient for people with disabilities. As industries, malls, metros, and high-rise buildings are growing, demand for the installation of elevators and escalators is on the rise, which drives the target market growth.
For instance, in October 2016, according to The Economic Times, rapid urbanization in India, along with rapid industrialization and economic growth, created a demand for elevators and escalators. India has become the world's second-largest elevator and escalator market next to China, with annual demand in 2015 rising to 48,000 units and expected to continue growing.
Further, according to NBM Media Pvt. Ltd., Otis has won the elevators and escalators contract for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Project by L&T (Larsen & Toubro) Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (LTMRHL). Based on the contract, Otis will supply and install 670 elevators and escalators, including 410 units of 520 NPE escalators and 260 Gen2 Premier elevators, which will be installed in more than 65 metro stations, workshops, and other locations. The Gen2 Premier elevator is eco-friendly and provides energy efficiency as it is equipped with energy-saving technology.
Technological Advancement and Increasing Demand for Energy Savings
Advancements in technology and the adoption of digital tools are pushing many industries into new eras, driving the elevator and escalator market growth. New elevator technology, such as machine-room-less elevators, has provided various benefits, such as energy savings over traditional elevators.
Machine-room-less elevators have several advantages, including saving space, saving energy for the motor, increasing lift safety and reliability, requiring no hydraulic oil, and being environmentally friendly. Growing demand for energy savings has allowed manufacturers to develop eco-friendly elevators and escalators.
For instance, in 2015, Schindler Elevator Corporation launched the "Schindler 5500," a machine-room-less elevator with advanced drive technology that results in a smoother, faster, and more efficient ride and is developed for mid-rise buildings with power factor 1 regenerative drive that use 30% less energy.
Restrains:
High installation costs and significant structural loads at the top of the hoistway restrain the target market growth. A power outage can cause an elevator to become stuck in the middle, resulting in accidental injuries. And some people with Claustrophobia are unable to use elevators and escalators, limiting the target market growth.
Furthermore, in March 2022, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), elevator and escalator accidents killed about 30 people, and about 17,000 people were seriously injured in the United States each year (data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission). Almost 90% of deaths and 60% of serious injuries are caused by elevators while working in shafts, installing, repairing, and maintaining elevators.
