Summary

Global value demand to grow 5.4% annually through 2011

The worldwide market for elevator and escalator products and services is forecast to expand 5.4 percent annually through 2011, surpassing $57 billion. Demand will be fueled by a strong global economy, firming nonresidential construction in key developed markets, and the ongoing migration from rural to urban centers in major developing markets such as China and India. On the service side, retrofits to comply with changing building codes and federal mandates will rejuvenate the upgrade/modernization services market, especially in Western Europe and North America.

The fastest growth is anticipated in the world's developing regions - Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. China, which has already emerged as the largest national elevator market in unit terms, will continue to log explosive gains, with the development of a lucrative service aftermarket bolstering the robust OEM business.

China, India, Russia to see fastest gains for elevators

In unit terms, demand for passenger and freight elevators will advance 5.2 percent annually to 535,000 units in 2011, which will swell the global installed base to over ten million units. Fully one-third of all units installed over the next five years will be situated in China; India, Russia and the Gulf region also hold especially favorable intermediate-term prospects.

By contrast, unit gains in North America and Western Europe will be limited by a cooling housing market and comparison with a strong 2006 base. Price inflation will moderate, despite high energy and material costs, reflecting increasingly stiff competition in the fast growing machineroomless (MRL) elevator segment and greater reliance on manufacturing in low cost venues such as China and Eastern Europe.

Escalators, moving walkways to outpace elevators

Even more impressive gains are projected for escalators and moving walkways, with demand slated to grow 8.3 percent annually to $2.5 billion in 2011. Growth of global air traffic and the increased presence of shopping malls, mass merchandisers and other large retail venues outside of North America and Europe will propel sales.

More than 1,000 individual companies worldwide manufacture elevator/ escalator-related products, although the business is highly concentrated at the top end -- a function of the formidable competitive barriers that exist to largescale participation. Many thousands more are engaged in maintenance, repair and modernization services, competing with proprietary (in-house) personnel.
