Growth Factors in Elevator and Escalator Market:
- Smart Building Integration
Modern buildings are now using smart technology to make everything run more smoothly, including elevators and escalators. These systems are being connected to central building platforms that manage things like lighting, temperature, and security. In cities like Seoul, elevators adjust their schedules automatically depending on how many people are in the building. Smart elevators use AI to predict traffic and send the right number of lifts, reducing waiting times. Touch-free options like mobile app controls and QR code access are becoming popular, especially after the pandemic. These features are now seen as a big selling point in new office towers and high-tech buildings. In smaller towns and older buildings, adoption has been slower due to cost. But with the rise of affordable cloud-based systems, even mid-size buildings are beginning to upgrade and integrate these smart solutions for better efficiency and user experience.
- Modernization & Upgrades
Across North America and Europe, many elevators are over 20 years old and need upgrades. Modernizing these systems has become a top priority for building owners who want to improve safety, comfort, and energy savings. Older lifts are being upgraded with new motors, smart controllers, and smoother door mechanisms. These changes not only make rides quieter and faster but also cut down on electricity use. Some governments, like in Germany, offer funding to update public buildings with more accessible and energy-efficient elevators. Building managers are also investing in predictive maintenance tools that can spot problems before a breakdown happens, saving time and money. Urban buildings are leading the way, but older homes and rural areas often lag due to budget issues. With better policy support and more cost-effective upgrade kits, modernization is becoming easier and more widespread across different types of properties.
- Sustainability & Efficiency
Green technology is now a standard feature in the newest elevator and escalator systems. Developers and property owners are focusing on systems that use less energy and help reduce carbon emissions. Features like regenerative drives, which reuse energy from elevator braking, are becoming common. Lightweight materials, smarter motors, and energy-efficient lighting also help lower power consumption. In eco-conscious cities like Toronto, these systems are often required in buildings applying for green certifications like LEED. Escalators now use sensors to slow down or pause when no passengers are detected, saving electricity. Governments and environmental bodies are pushing for cleaner, more sustainable buildings, and elevators are a key part of that. With rising awareness about climate change and energy efficiency, both commercial and residential properties are upgrading to eco-friendly vertical transportation systems that offer long-term cost and energy savings.
Key Trends in the Elevator and Escalator Market:
- Smart Elevators and Digital Integration
Elevators are becoming more intelligent as they connect to smart building networks through IoT and cloud technologies. These elevators can now self-diagnose issues, optimize performance, and manage energy use based on real-time conditions. In cities like Hong Kong, smart analytics help manage elevator traffic during busy hours by learning when and where people move the most. Newer models include voice-activated controls, smartphone connectivity, and even personalized floor selections. This not only makes the ride more convenient but also helps reduce wear and tear. With more cities investing in smart infrastructure, elevators are expected to become even more interactive and central to modern building operations, turning them into important data hubs for building management teams.
- Focus on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Developers building for the future are choosing elevator and escalator systems designed for energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Gearless traction systems, regenerative braking, and solar-powered lifts are now commonly used in sustainable construction projects. In places like Scandinavia, escalators equipped with motion sensors only operate when people are nearby, cutting energy usage. These technologies help builders meet sustainability certifications such as WELL, BREEAM, or LEED, which are becoming mandatory in many regions. Manufacturers are also using greener materials and production methods to further lower the carbon footprint. As more governments implement carbon-neutral goals, eco-friendly vertical transport systems are not just a trend—they are becoming essential to the future of construction.
- Customization and Aesthetic Innovation
Elevators are now part of a building’s style and brand identity. Especially in luxury hotels, malls, and office towers, elevators feature glass walls with city views, touchscreens, custom lighting, and sleek finishes. These design elements make rides more enjoyable and reflect the building’s overall aesthetic. Some retailers use elevator screens to display ads or promote sales. Even in residential buildings, property owners are offering personalized design options so that elevators match the lobby’s look and feel. This demand for style and comfort is creating new opportunities for manufacturers and designers to work together. Beyond functionality, elevators are now seen as an experience—a space where design, technology, and branding come together in creative and user-friendly ways.
