Based on Elevator Type, Machine Room-Less Traction is the fastest growing segment in the Asia Pacific Elevator Modernization Market in coming period due to several compelling factors related to cost, space efficiency, energy consumption, and modernization demand. MRL traction elevators eliminate the need for a separate machine room, making them highly suitable for modern urban infrastructure where space constraints are critical. In densely populated cities across Asia Pacific—such as Tokyo, Mumbai, Seoul, and Singapore—developers prioritize compact building designs, and MRL elevators offer a practical solution. Their compact design allows retrofitting into existing elevator shafts, which reduces structural changes and overall modernization costs. MRL traction elevators are more energy-efficient compared to traditional geared systems. They utilize gearless traction machines and regenerative drives, significantly lowering electricity consumption. As governments in countries like China, India, and Japan push for sustainable urban development and green buildings, building owners are increasingly opting for energy-efficient elevator modernization options, boosting demand for MRL traction systems.

These elevators offer smoother rides, quieter operation, and improved aesthetics—features increasingly prioritized by high-end commercial and residential building owners undergoing partial or full modernization. In particular, commercial and institutional buildings prefer MRL elevators for their performance and compliance with modern safety standards without the need for major infrastructure changes. Moreover, the aging infrastructure across the region is driving partial modernization projects, where building owners seek to upgrade core elevator components like motors, control systems, and door mechanisms. MRL traction systems provide a viable pathway to integrate advanced features—such as remote monitoring, intelligent dispatching, and enhanced security—into older systems. The combination of compact design, operational efficiency, and suitability for modernization projects in space-constrained and environmentally-conscious Asia Pacific markets is expected to propel the Machine Room-Less Traction segment forward as the fastest-growing category.

Based on country, India is the fastest growing country in the Asia Pacific Elevator Modernization Market in coming period due to a confluence of economic, infrastructural, regulatory, and urbanization factors driving demand for upgrading aging elevator systems. India's rapid urbanization and vertical growth in metropolitan areas are placing significant strain on existing building infrastructure. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad are witnessing an increase in high-rise residential and commercial buildings developed during the early 2000s. Many of these buildings are now reaching the stage where elevator systems require modernization to comply with evolving safety norms and improve performance. Government initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission and AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) are encouraging the refurbishment of existing infrastructure, including elevators in public and private buildings. These programs aim to improve accessibility, safety, and energy efficiency, indirectly fueling demand for partial and full elevator modernization.

Growing concerns about passenger safety, comfort, and energy efficiency are prompting property owners to invest in modernizing elevators. Indian consumers and businesses are becoming more aware of the benefits of upgrading critical components such as controllers, door systems, and motors, rather than incurring the cost of total replacement. This preference makes modernization an attractive, cost-effective solution. Additionally, the expanding presence of global elevator companies such as Otis, Schindler, KONE, and Johnson Lifts in India has increased the availability of advanced modernization solutions tailored for local requirements. These firms are actively promoting mid-life upgrades through service campaigns, warranties, and maintenance contracts. India’s expanding real estate and hospitality sectors, combined with stricter safety regulations and the drive for energy-efficient systems, are expected to accelerate modernization projects.
