Global Smart Elevator Market Size Study & Forecast, by Setup (New Deployment, Modernization and Maintenance), Installation (Low & Mid Rise, High Rise), Carriage (Passenger, Freight) and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

The Global Smart Elevator Market is valued at approximately USD 18.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compelling CAGR of 9.50% over the forecast period of 2025–2035, ultimately reaching nearly USD 29.52 billion by 2035. Smart elevators represent a new generation of vertical transportation systems that integrate advanced sensors, IoT connectivity, AI-driven traffic management, and predictive maintenance software to optimize energy efficiency, passenger flow, and operational safety. As urban skylines continue to rise and buildings evolve into intelligent ecosystems, smart elevators are being increasingly leaned on to move people and goods seamlessly, reliably, and sustainably. The market’s momentum is largely being carried forward by rapid urbanization, smart city initiatives, and the escalating need to modernize aging building infrastructure.

Rising construction activity across commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments has significantly stepped up the adoption of smart elevator solutions. Developers and facility managers are phasing out conventional lift systems and switching over to intelligent platforms that can cut down waiting times, reduce power consumption, and proactively flag maintenance issues before failures occur. In parallel, the growing emphasis on green buildings and energy-efficient technologies is pushing manufacturers to roll out regenerative drives, destination control systems, and cloud-based monitoring tools. While high initial investment and integration complexities can slow adoption in price-sensitive markets, long-term cost savings and enhanced user experience continue to tip the scales in favor of smart elevator deployment throughout the forecast period of 2025–2035.

Among the various setups, new deployment is expected to dominate the global smart elevator market over the forecast horizon. This dominance is closely tied to the surge in newly constructed high-rise residential towers, commercial complexes, and infrastructure projects, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. As cities expand vertically, developers are increasingly baking smart elevator systems into building designs from the outset to future-proof assets and enhance long-term operational efficiency. Although modernization projects are steadily gaining ground—especially in mature markets—the sheer volume of new construction continues to anchor new deployment as the leading segment by market share.

From a revenue contribution perspective, passenger elevators currently account for the largest share of the smart elevator market. High footfall in residential apartments, office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, and transit hubs has driven strong demand for intelligent passenger lift systems that can manage peak traffic smoothly and safely. Freight elevators, while essential in industrial and logistics settings, contribute a smaller portion of overall revenues. That said, passenger elevators remain at the forefront as manufacturers continue to layer on advanced features such as touchless controls, AI-powered dispatching, and real-time usage analytics.

The key regions considered for the Global Smart Elevator Market include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominates the market, underpinned by massive urban development, population growth, and large-scale smart city projects across China, India, and Southeast Asia. Europe follows, supported by strong modernization demand and strict energy-efficiency regulations driving upgrades to existing elevator fleets. North America maintains a solid position due to sustained commercial construction and early adoption of smart building technologies, while the Middle East & Africa is emerging as a high-growth region fueled by ambitious infrastructure projects and high-rise developments.
