Regional Analysis:

North America is expected to witness considerable growth in recent years owing to increase in safety concerns & latest technology being introduced. As there has been a rise in the industrial, commercial and residential application, therefore the market is expected to demonstrate the major growth over forecast period. Even manufacturers are more focused on their product offering that are equipped with latest technical advances. For instances, United Technologies Corporation, headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, U.S. manufacturers in elevators and escalators, HVAC, building automation, fire and security,  & industrial products, along with others. One of their business unit includes, Otis elevator company the manufacturer, installer, moving walkaways & service of elevator. Their products ranges from Mid-Rise Lifts (6 to 15 stops), Low-Rise Lifts (up to 6 stops), High-Rise Lifts (16+ stops), Moving Walks & Escalators etc. equipped with latest technology and modernization of elevator.

Europe region is anticipated to exhibit the substantial growth over forecast period owing to the presence of leading players and rise in the in the renovations in the region. As government is taking initiative for the reconstruction of old & high rise buildings because of the safety factor is also increasing the tourism industry. For instances, Kone corporation, located in Finland are manufacturers for moving walkaways, escalators and elevators, automatic doors and gates. This company even provides local services for developer, builders, building owners, architects and designers in 1,000 offices over 50 countries. Their range of products includes Kone EcoDisc motor, Kone UltraRope, Kone Access Turnstiles, Kone Destination, Elevators etc. Whereas, Thyssenkrupp AG, headquatered in Duisburg and Essen, Germany is a multinational company focused on industrial engineering and steel production. Along with steel production, the company’s ranges to high-speed trains, elevators and etc. This company introduced TWIN elevator, having two car arranged on top each other that can operate independently and reducing energy consumption. These players are also contributing in the growth with their wide range modernized products.

Furthermore, Asia Pacific Region is projected to grow rapidly owing to the growth in working population as well as rise in industrialization and urbanization. The growth of real estate market in the region may boost the elevator modernization market. The commercial usage of elevators has increased the demand of latest technology in the elevator equipped with all the safety precautions. Manufacturers also are attempting to provide quality of products with the availability of latest technology & safety factor included. For example, Japanese manufacturers Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Hitachi, Ltd & Toshiba Corporation created a technological strides, by using high tech pressure system & new motors that empowered  elevators to carry people faster & higher than ever before in order maintain pace in high rise buildings.

Africa and Middle East countries are expected to witness a strong growth. As the real estate market in Middle East countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia are growing rapidly, therefore the commercial, residential demand for modernized elevators will also increase in forecast period. Manufacturers are also focusing to grow their market in this region. Whereas, Africa is also growing their market however, due to lack of technology & industries as well as the economy situation the market may witness the slow growth.
