Smart elevators are designed to travel between floors. They are faster, easier, and more energy efficient as compared to conventional elevators. It uses destination dispatch technology wherein passengers enter their destination floor via a touch screen panel and are assigned to a lettered elevator along with other people going to the same floor. This offers minimum number of stops between intermediate floors by skipping stops at lower levels and hence, elevator travels quickly to the desired floor. It is a fast way of travelling between the floors and is preferred to be used in tall buildings or commercial complexes. Increasing government investment for development of smart city is one of the major driving factors leading to demand for smart elevators. For instance, according to the Indian government Union Budget 2018-19, the government has selected 99 cities under the smart city mission and will provide a fund of US$ 3.1 billion for the development of these cities. Moreover, the high initial investment for installation of smart elevator become one of the major challenging factors, which hinders the market growth.
Increasing urbanization is a major factor driving growth of the smart elevators market
Smart elevator is suitable for applications in infrastructure in the urban areas (such as New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco) where high multi-storey buildings and mall construction is gaining significant traction. Therefore, development in infrastructure is expected to propel demand for smart elevators. Increasing urbanization activities worldwide is further fuelling market growth. For instance, according to the World’s Cities by the United Nations report, in 2016, an estimated 54.5% of the world’s population lives in urban areas and is expected to grow to a 60% by 2030. Increasing sift of population towards urban regions is compelling engineers to develop better infrastructures (e.g. tall buildings) with a perspective to accommodate the growing urban population. Moreover, increasing investment in infrastructure sector worldwide is driving the market growth. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights, worldwide infrastructure spending is expected to be over US$ 9 Trillion per year by 2025, up from US$ 4 Trillion per year in 2012. Overall, close to US$ 78 trillion is expected to be spent worldwide between 2014 and 2025. Therefore, increasing urbanization is propelling demand for construction of urban infrastructure, which in turn is driving growth of the smart elevators market.
