Global Elevator Infrared Safety Light Curtain Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Elevator Infrared Safety Light Curtain market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1055 million in 2025 to US$ 1543 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2026 to 2032.
Elevator infrared safety light curtains are non-contact safety devices installed on both sides of elevator car doors or landing doors. They utilize multiple beams of infrared light to form a high-density "grating protective curtain," used to monitor in real time whether a person or object is passing through or lingering in the door area. It consists of two light curtain strips, one transmitting and one receiving, with dozens to hundreds of pairs of infrared transmitting/receiving units arranged internally. When a passenger, child, wheelchair, stroller, suitcase, or even a long, thin object blocks any beam of light, the system immediately sends a signal to the elevator control system, preventing the door from closing or triggering reopening. This effectively avoids risks such as "people/objects being trapped when the door closes," replacing traditional mechanical touch panels and significantly improving the safety and comfort of the elevator door system. It is one of the core safety components of modern elevators. Sales volume in 2025 is 2.4 million units, with an average price of $425 per unit. Annual production capacity is 2.8 million units, with a gross profit margin of approximately 40%.
From the demand side, elevator infrared safety light curtains have evolved from a "minor feature to enhance the user experience" to a rigid safety component that is almost always selected by default when elevators leave the factory. On the one hand, the global elevator stock continues to rise, and the proportion of elderly, children, and wheelchair users among elevator passengers is constantly increasing. High-traffic areas such as shopping malls, hospitals, and subways are particularly sensitive, and even a single "person-trapping" accident is enough to trigger public opinion and claims. On the other hand, many regions have made non-contact door protection an explicit or implicit requirement in the technical standards for newly installed elevators and the guidelines for the renovation of old elevators. Property management companies and owners will include "whether a high-density infrared light curtain is used and whether it has good recognition capabilities for children and small objects" in the technical clauses during the bidding stage. With a large number of existing elevators still upgrading from mechanical touch panels and early low-density light curtains to next-generation safety light curtains, the overall industry demand exhibits a dual-engine structure: growth in tandem with new elevators, plus a second wave of installations driven by safety improvements and project upgrades.
From the supply side, this market appears to be characterized by "small components, low prices, and numerous manufacturers," but in reality, it's accelerating the shift from low-end light curtain prices to mid-to-high-end light curtain reliability and intelligence. Basic light curtain technology is already highly domestically produced, with competition among similar products focusing on cost and delivery speed. However, in the mid-to-high-end segment, elevator manufacturers and large property management companies prioritize: the false detection/missed detection rate under complex conditions such as oil stains, dust, and direct sunlight; whether the beam density can cover "slender targets" like children's arms and canes; and whether it possesses self-diagnostic and fault reporting capabilities for easy integration into remote maintenance and intelligent monitoring platforms. Looking ahead, whoever can develop infrared safety light curtains into "door zone perception subsystems," adding health status monitoring, cloud data interfaces, and even collaboration with 3D vision and AI analysis in addition to hardware performance, will have the opportunity to break free from the pure component price war and secure higher premiums and stronger partnerships in high-end new elevator packages and safety upgrade packages for older elevators.
