Our researchers studied the market research and growth data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
The increasing adoption of digitization and awareness of global warming in the US has led to the rise of green and eco-efficient homes, termed smart homes. This has led to the development of efficient designs, such as pneumatic elevators, which require less space and maintenance. Pneumatic elevators work on the principle of air pressure by creating high-pressure and low-pressure environments where they can control descent or ascent. At present, the US smart home market has just passed the early adoption stage and is experiencing a slowdown in mass adoption due to various issues, such as high prices and high fragmentation of the US - elevator and escalator market
However, the devices are becoming more prevalent in US homes due to digitalization. Following this dramatic shift, many homeowners are predicted to install smart elevators or stairlifts to improve accessibility. In addition, the installation of an elevator inside a home elevates the house into a luxury home and improves its sale price considerably. Hence, residential builders are trying to appeal to customers by including elevators such as pneumatic lifts. Thus, the increasing adoption of smart homes will spur the growth of the market during the forecast period.
In today's buildings, elevators are not just a way of moving people and equipment between floors but are aesthetically designed to meet the expectations of customers. Hotels and malls are increasingly improving aesthetics and enhanced functionalities in elevators to impress customers. For instance, Otis Elevator has installed an Inclined Elevator at The Luxor Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, to match the building's pyramid shape.
Similarly, Italian fashion major Prada installed the largest glass elevator, featuring silver seats that let visitors enjoy the display cases of shoes and other A-rundown items while descending or ascending in the elevator. Key vendors such as Thyssenkrupp Elevator offer interior car solutions to improve the aesthetics of the elevator. Thus, the growing trend of elevators as architectural ornaments will drive market growth during the forecast period.
The Department of Buildings (DOB), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other administrative bodies have been boosting efforts to keep elevators and escalators compliant with regulations to keep users safe. In the past, there have been noteworthy code and rule changes that have had substantial financial impact on building owners, facility managers, and elevator service organizations. A recent example is the Los Angeles City Fire Code 2020, which mandates that all elevators installed in buildings have an alternative floor recall feature with an approved smoke detector in the designated main floor elevator lobby.
Moreover, activation of this smoke detector would recall the elevator to an alternate floor designated by the Chief in case of a fire in a building. This addition has required most building owners to upgrade not only the elevator system but also optimize their firefighting systems. Thus, the increasing cost of compliance for elevators and escalators will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the elevators segment will be significant during the forecast period. The elevators segment has its revenue generation from new installations (unit and service), maintenance, and the modernization of elevators. Low-rise buildings whose compositional structure is below 35 meters primarily use hydraulic technology, as it is cheaper to maintain than other modern technologies. Both MRL and traction elevator technologies are prevalent in mid-rise buildings with a height of 35-100 meters.

The elevators segment was the largest and was valued at USD 5.90 billion in 2018. Traction elevators are used in buildings with a height of 35-100 meters. Both MRL and traction elevator technologies are prevalent in mid-size elevators. The mid-rise elevator market is anticipated to grow rapidly compared with the low-rise US - elevator and escalator market. The increasing demand for multifamily buildings is likely to drive the growth of traction elevators. The increasing costs of material, land, and labor have pushed developers to maximize the number of floors to increase density. In addition, retailers are pushing developers to create multi-use buildings due to rapid urbanization and high demand. The gearless traction elevator is the only solution in high-rise buildings, as it has fast speeds. The elevators segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment in the market during the forecast period.
Based on the service, the market has been segmented into new installations, maintenance and modernization. The new installations segment will account for the largest share of this segment.? Each new installation is classified into projects, as the system must be modified to meet the requirements of the building. For new installations, the development and the profitability of the lift and escalator market largely depend on the construction industry, which is known to depend strongly on general economic growth. The growing demand for multifamily rental buildings is mostly concentrated in mid-rise buildings, as the increasing costs of material, land, and labor have pushed developers to maximize the number of floors to increase density. In addition, retailers are pushing developers to create multi-use buildings due to rapid urbanization and high demand. Smart elevators are leading the new installation market, which is driven by the trend of smart buildings. The increasing use of smart elevators is adding value gains to the market, as they are more expensive than conventional elevators and escalators. Thus, the increased demand for the escalator will drive the growth of the new installations segment of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
