Elevators & Escalators Market by Product Type (Elevators, Escalators), ElevationTechnology (Hydraulic, Traction), End-User - Global Forecast 2024-2030


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.
