Rapid Urbanization and Increased High-Rise Constructions
India's rapid urbanization is driving demand for elevators and escalators, fueled by a surge in high-rise residential and commercial buildings. The United Nations projects that by 2030, 40.76% of India's population will live in urban areas, up from 34.93% in 2020, necessitating vertical infrastructure expansion. Government programs such as the Smart Cities Mission and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) are driving rapid urban growth and infrastructure development. The Smart Cities Mission aims to build 100 smart cities, while PMAY targets 20 million affordable houses by 2022, both of which contribute to increased demand for vertical transportation solutions. The Smart Cities initiative has particularly spurred investment in urban mobility and housing, directly boosting the elevator and escalator market. Additionally, India's commercial real estate sector is expanding, with office space absorption reaching 42 million square feet in 2022, reflecting strong demand for elevators in newly constructed office buildings. As urbanization continues, coupled with large-scale infrastructure projects, the elevator and escalator market is poised for significant growth.
Integration of Advanced Technologies
By March 2023, Gujarat had approximately 1.10 lakh elevators, with 11,000 added in the 2022-2023 period. Ahmedabad led the state with 41,000 lifts, reflecting the fast growth of India's elevator and escalator industry. The sector is increasingly integrating advanced technologies to improve efficiency, safety, and user experience. IoT and AI-driven predictive maintenance are helping to reduce downtime and operational costs. Energy efficiency is another priority, with manufacturers introducing regenerative drives that lower energy consumption by up to 30%. Since elevators and escalators contribute 2-5% of a building’s total energy use, these innovations support sustainable urban development. Touchless technologies have also gained traction. Mobile-based elevator controls and voice-activated systems are improving user safety and convenience by minimizing physical contact. A survey revealed that 75% of respondents prefer buildings with touchless elevator controls, underscoring a shift in consumer preferences. With these advancements, India's elevator and escalator market is set to grow, driven by urban expansion, government initiatives, and increasing demand for smart, sustainable, and user-friendly infrastructure solutions.
