Monday 17 June 2013, Amsterdam

According to a new market research report "Smart Elevator Market: Access Controls & Security (Card Based, Biometrics, Touch Screens & Keypads, Security); Automation (Sensors & Controllers, Motors & Drives, BMS); Modernization (Operating Panels, Electronic Device) (2013-2018)", the total smart elevator market is expected to reach $16.45 billion by 2018 growing at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2013 to 2018.

The demand for security is propelling with respect to the advanced and more sophisticated technology being introduced in the market. Organizations are more attentive to equip themselves for such threats and need to safeguard their properties. Demand for energy efficient solutions, enhanced security, and improving the standards of the individuals have led to the development of the smart elevators market (i.e. elevator access controls and security, automation, and modernization market). Energy efficiency and centralized controls are the driving factors in elevator automation. A well maintained elevator lasts for around 20 years or we can say it is an average life of an elevator. After a stipulated time frame, upgrading an already installed elevators-system is a must be it due to statutory requirements for increasing handling capacity or comfort, saving energy costs. Updating controllers, communication panel, drives, cabins, doors, lightening and sensors and other and innovative operating and display elements with new technologies will enhance elevators life, saves energy and power, improved usability for people with special needs. 45% of revenue will be generated from new installation, modernization, and servicing; which would collectively contribute for 55% of revenue.

The surge in construction sector after the financial crisis has created a huge demand for elevators. The market for elevator access control, modernization, and automation will also gain momentum. China will solidify its position as the worlds largest market for elevators, with domestic demand growing over 12% per year. Infrastructure development and global sporting events such as World Cup Soccer in 2014, Olympics in 2016 offer excellent opportunities to the market growth.
