Saudi Arabia Elevators & Escalators Market - Strategic Assessment & Forecast 2023-2029

The Saudi Arabia elevator and escalator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.84% from 2022-2029.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) of the country has made every residential and commercial building mandatory to get certified by the Civil Defense Authority. Twenty-two maintenance companies have been authorized for inspection in 2018; therefore, these practices would likely increase the maintenance service market in the Saudi Arabia elevator and escalator market.
• ElevatorKERS is a device that uses supercapacitors to reduce elevator energy consumption by more than 50%. It captures the energy when the car goes down or brakes and reuses it when it goes up or accelerates, lowering the grid demand and improving the power quality. The device can be easily installed on any elevator drive, offering many benefits such as lower emissions, lower costs, lower stress, and higher reliability, performance, and comfort.
• The Amala mega-project is a luxury tourism development in the Tabuk province of Saudi Arabia. It is near Neom and the Red Sea Project, within the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Natural Reserve. This ambitious project aims to create a new and exclusive tourist destination, often called the 'Riviera of the Middle East. The development will encompass three sites and cover a vast area of 3,000 square kilometers. It will feature various amenities, including 1,800 hotel rooms, 900 private villas, and a retail area with 200 outlets. Additionally, the project will include an academy of the arts that aims to nurture young artists from Saudi Arabia and the broader region. Amala will have its airport and will cater to luxury travelers. The project is expected to be funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, although the exact investment amount has not been disclosed.
• In addition to modular construction, businesses in Saudi Arabia can benefit from increased 3D printing capacity. Additive manufacturing company Immensa has established a factory worth 15 million USD in Dammam to meet the growing demand for high-value parts in the petrochemicals, energy, and oil and gas industries. This investment aligns with Saudi Arabia's industrialization plans under Vision 2030 to position the Kingdom as a global manufacturing hub.
• The construction of Jazan Economic City is underway. Located on the Red Sea, 60 km north of Jazan City, this strategic location is expected to attract over 100 million Saudi Riyals of private investment from various sectors. Jazan Economic City aspires to become a regional hub for exporting iron ore and pellets to the Middle East. The project commenced in 2006 and is expected to be completed by 2037. The estimated cost of development is approximately USD 27 billion.
