UAE Elevators and Escalators Market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.92% Through 2029

UAE Elevators and Escalators Market is expected to grow owing to requirement from diverse industries including tourism, real estate, and commerce, contributes to increased construction activities throughout the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Elevators and Escalators Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2019-2029”, UAE Elevators and Escalators Market was valued at USD 907.52 Million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 1293.05 Million by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.92% during the forecast period.  

One of the primary drivers of the Elevators and Escalators market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the country's rapid urbanization and ambitious infrastructure development projects. As the UAE's cities continue to grow and expand, the demand for vertical transportation solutions, such as elevators and escalators, is on the rise. The UAE has witnessed significant population growth over the past few decades, driven by a combination of natural population increase and immigration. This demographic growth has led to increased housing and commercial construction, which, in turn, fuels the demand for elevators and escalators. Moreover, the development of master-planned communities and megaprojects like Dubai Expo 2020 and the UAE Vision 2021 are creating new opportunities for vertical transportation solutions. Furthermore, the UAE's commitment to becoming a global business and tourism hub has resulted in numerous high-rise buildings and multi-story shopping centers, hotels, and airports. These structures require efficient and reliable vertical transportation systems to ensure the smooth movement of people. As a result, real estate developers and construction companies are investing heavily in elevators and escalators to meet the growing demands of these modern urban environments. 

To the domestic market, the UAE has positioned itself as a regional trade and logistics hub. This status has led to the development of industrial and logistics facilities, which also require elevators and escalators for material handling and workforce mobility. This diverse range of infrastructure and urbanization projects makes the UAE a fertile ground for elevator and escalator manufacturers and service providers.

Based on service, the Modernization and Maintenance & Repair segment dominated the market during the forecast period, reflecting a strategic focus on enhancing infrastructure longevity, safety, and efficiency. Modernization services are expected to see significant demand due to the aging infrastructure in key urban areas such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Many existing buildings require upgrades to align with contemporary safety standards, technological advancements, and energy efficiency goals. These modernization efforts are fueled by the rapid pace of innovation in elevator and escalator technology, which offers substantial improvements in performance, safety, and energy consumption. Property owners and managers are increasingly motivated to invest in modernizing their systems to capitalize on these advancements, thereby ensuring that their buildings remain competitive and compliant with regulatory requirements.

The UAE government has implemented stringent regulations that mandate the adherence to updated safety and operational standards. This regulatory environment compels building owners to undertake modernization projects to avoid potential penalties and ensure the safety of occupants. The push towards sustainability and energy efficiency further amplifies the need for modernization. As part of broader sustainability initiatives, there is a strong emphasis on upgrading elevators and escalators to more energy-efficient models, which not only reduce operational costs but also contribute to the overall environmental goals of reducing carbon footprints and enhancing resource efficiency. Simultaneously, the Maintenance & Repair segment is poised for robust growth due to the high usage rates of elevators and escalators in the UAE’s densely populated urban centers. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the continuous and safe operation of these systems, preventing breakdowns and extending their operational lifespan. The increasing reliance on preventive maintenance practices, which focus on regular inspections and timely repairs, helps to minimize downtime and ensure safety compliance. Additionally, the integration of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and predictive analytics in maintenance practices enables predictive maintenance strategies. These technologies facilitate the early detection of potential issues, allowing for proactive repairs and reducing the likelihood of unexpected malfunctions.

The rapid urbanization and expansion of high-rise buildings in the UAE result in a significant increase in the daily use of elevators and escalators, further emphasizing the importance of consistent and effective maintenance services. This combination of factors ensures that the Modernization and Maintenance & Repair segment will dominate the UAE Elevators and Escalators Market in 2023, driven by the need to modernize aging infrastructure, comply with stringent regulations, adopt sustainable practices, and maintain high service reliability amidst a rapidly growing urban environment.

Based on region, Abu Dhabi is the fastest-growing region in the UAE elevators and escalators market due to its rapid urbanization, infrastructure expansion, and increasing investment in large-scale development projects. As the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi is a focal point for economic diversification and growth, driven by government initiatives and Vision 2030, which emphasizes infrastructure modernization and sustainable urban development. 

The construction of high-rise buildings, residential communities, luxury hotels, and commercial complexes has significantly increased the demand for advanced vertical transportation systems. Projects such as Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Maryah Island, and other mixed-use developments require efficient, reliable, and innovative elevators and escalators to support the growing urban population and commercial activities. Additionally, Abu Dhabi's focus on tourism and hospitality has further fueled market growth. The emirate's growing number of premium hotels, shopping malls, and entertainment centers demand state-of-the-art elevator and escalator systems to provide seamless mobility and enhance customer experiences. High-traffic areas like airports and metro stations also require advanced, high-capacity escalators and elevators to handle increasing passenger volumes efficiently.
