[180 Pages Report] The Elevators & Escalators Market size was estimated at USD 113.31 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 120.70 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.49% to reach USD 187.91 billion by 2030.
An elevator, also known as lift, is a vertical transportation system, while an escalator is a moving staircase designed to transport people between different levels of a building structure. The rapid construction of taller buildings and larger structures have increased the demand for elevators & escalators to move people and goods within these spaces efficiently. They save time and reduce the effort required in climbing stairs, resulting in faster transit times for individuals. The real estate industry is currently highly focused on expanding building aesthetics by adding automated and modernized systems, encouraging better deployment of vertical transportation systems. Elevators are crucial in providing access to upper floors for those with disabilities or limited mobility, such as wheelchair users, elderly individuals, or those carrying heavy luggage. Escalators are also useful for increasing accessibility in public spaces such as shopping malls and transportation hubs. However, their operational complications and safety risks are major concerns impeding their use by some end users. Market players are constantly working on upgrading the safety capacities of elevators & escalators according to international standards to ensure their reliability in buildings. Moreover, with government initiatives encouraging the establishment of smart and green buildings, the demand for energy-efficient and IoT-connected elevators & escalators is expected to rise.
Product Type: Penetration of elevators & escalators across various to enable efficient vertical transportation
Elevators are closed vertical transportation systems that consist of a cabin or platform that travels along guide rails while driven by a counterweight system or a hydraulic mechanism. In contrast, escalators are open-moving staircases explicitly designed to transport people across short vertical distances, such as between two consecutive floors in a building or within public transport systems. Elevators & escalators are equipped with safety features such as door sensors, backup power systems, and emergency stop buttons to avert accidents and assure passenger safety. Escalators include parallel, stairway, belt-type, curved, wheelchair-accessible, step-type, criss-cross, multi-story, and outdoor escalators. Stairway escalators are used widely compared to other escalators and are designed to move people from one floor level to another for indoor spaces, such as shopping malls or multi-story buildings. Belt-type escalators are designed for moving items, such as luggage and shopping bags, from one point to another. The elevators, such as dumbwaiters, freight, passenger, and service elevators, are increasingly deployed in commercial, residential, and industrial infrastructures to ensure efficient mobility of people and goods. Passenger elevators are the most widely used compared to the other types of elevators due to their ability to transport people in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
ElevationTechnology: Potential adoption of hydraulic elevators in low-rise buildings
Hydraulic elevators are powered by hydraulic jacks, fluid-driven pistons that travel inside a cylinder. They are generally more cost-effective than traction elevators and have a maximum travel distance of about 50 feet, making them better suited for buildings with fewer floors. Traction elevators are powered by electric motors pulling cables attached to cabs, which tend to be more energy efficient than hydraulic elevators, and the cable systems allow longer travel distances of up to 500 feet. Moreover, hydraulic elevators are often preferred for low- to mid-rise buildings, while traction elevators are more commonly used in many buildings, including high-rises.
End-User: Significant use of elevators & escalators in industrial sectors for heavy-duty applications
In commercial buildings, such as office spaces, hotels, hospitals, airports, schools, or universities, elevators and escalators facilitate smooth vertical transportation while ensuring accessibility for all users regardless of their physical abilities. Multilevel malls utilize escalator systems to enrich the shopping experience by offering convenient access between floors with minimal wait times. Meanwhile, elevator systems serve to transport patients comfortably between hospital departments, ensuring compliance with safety standards for the transportation of medical equipment. In industrial manufacturing plants, warehouses, or logistic centers, elevating mechanisms such as freight elevators and vertical conveyors play a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations. They facilitate the movement of heavy materials, machinery, or equipment between floors, aiding in both production & distribution processes. The integration of elevators and escalators in residential facilities plays a significant role in enhancing the mobility, accessibility, and comfort of residents. By providing an effective means of vertical transportation for people and goods within buildings, these systems contribute to the broad quality of life for people living in multi-story complexes.
