Asia-Pacific Escalators Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.67% through 2030F

The increasing Asia-Pacific escalators market is driven by integration of smart and IoT-enabled escalators, energy efficiency and eco-friendly features during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “Asia-Pacific Escalators Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Asia-Pacific Escalators Market was valued at USD 8.31 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 12.35 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.67% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for smart infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region is driving the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart technologies into escalator systems. With growing urbanization and the development of intelligent cities, the need for efficient, safe, and user-friendly transportation systems has risen. Smart escalators equipped with IoT capabilities allow for real-time monitoring of performance, predictive maintenance, and automated troubleshooting. These advancements not only enhance the overall user experience by ensuring escalators run smoothly but also reduce downtime by enabling timely interventions. In markets like Japan and South Korea, which are known for their technological adoption, smart escalators are increasingly being installed in commercial centers, airports, and metro stations. The integration of advanced sensors allows escalators to detect traffic flow, adjust speeds, and improve energy efficiency. As cities in the Asia-Pacific region focus on smart city initiatives, the demand for smart escalators is expected to grow, offering more convenience, operational efficiency, and safety.

Energy efficiency is a major trend in the Asia-Pacific escalator market, driven by growing environmental concerns and government regulations promoting sustainable development. Escalator manufacturers are increasingly focused on developing energy-efficient systems that reduce electricity consumption and carbon emissions. For instance, regenerative drives are being incorporated into escalators, allowing them to capture and store energy during operation and use it to power other systems, significantly reducing energy usage. In countries like China and India, where environmental regulations are becoming stricter, energy-efficient escalators are gaining popularity. Additionally, escalators with automatic energy-saving features, such as standby modes or motion sensors that activate only when needed, are being increasingly installed in commercial and public spaces. These systems contribute to lower energy consumption, which helps building owners reduce operating costs while contributing to sustainability goals. This shift toward eco-friendly features is expected to play a significant role in the growth of the escalator market across the region.

Based on type, Moving Walkways/Travelators equipment is the fastest growing segment in the Asia-Pacific Escalators market during the forecast period, due to the increasing demand for efficient and convenient transportation solutions in large, high-traffic environments such as airports, metro stations, shopping malls, and industrial facilities. As the region’s urbanization accelerates and the number of passengers and visitors at transportation hubs and commercial spaces continues to grow, the need for moving walkways is becoming more pronounced.

One of the key drivers behind this growth is the growing focus on enhancing passenger experience and reducing congestion. Moving walkways, especially in airports and train stations, help to efficiently transport passengers over long distances, improving flow and reducing wait times. With air travel and public transportation volumes rising, these systems are crucial for managing the movement of large numbers of people, particularly in areas where elevators and escalators may not be suitable due to space constraints or the need for higher volume capacity.

Furthermore, the rise of mega shopping malls and commercial complexes in rapidly growing cities across the Asia-Pacific region is contributing to the expansion of the moving walkway segment. These walkways are commonly installed in expansive retail environments to help shoppers navigate large stores, creating a seamless shopping experience and reducing foot traffic congestion.

The growing focus on sustainability and energy-efficient solutions also plays a significant role in the adoption of moving walkways. Manufacturers are increasingly offering energy-efficient, low-maintenance models that align with the region’s emphasis on green technologies. Additionally, advancements in digital technologies, including smart walkways integrated with sensors and monitoring systems, are enhancing operational efficiency and safety, further accelerating demand for moving walkways in the region. As both public and private sectors in the Asia-Pacific region continue to invest in infrastructure upgrades, moving walkways are becoming a key component of vertical and horizontal transportation solutions, driving their rapid growth during the forecast period.

Based on country, India is the fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific Escalators Market during the forecast period due to several key factors driving the demand for escalators across various sectors, including infrastructure development, urbanization, and the need for modernized transportation solutions. The country’s rapid urban expansion, increasing investments in infrastructure, and the government’s focus on improving public transportation systems are significant drivers behind the growing need for escalators.

India’s urban population is expanding at a fast pace, with more people moving to cities for employment and better living conditions. This has resulted in an increased demand for efficient transportation solutions in urban areas, including metro stations, airports, and shopping malls, where escalators are essential for managing foot traffic. The Indian government’s ambitious plans to develop and modernize urban infrastructure, especially with metro rail projects in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, are directly contributing to the demand for escalators.

Additionally, India’s booming retail and real estate sectors are also playing a significant role in the rise of escalator installations. The growth of mega malls, commercial complexes, and residential projects with high footfall is increasing the demand for escalators to provide seamless movement within these buildings. Escalators are seen as essential for improving accessibility, convenience, and overall customer experience in commercial spaces.

The Indian government’s focus on sustainability and energy efficiency is also driving the demand for modern, energy-efficient escalators. Manufacturers are increasingly offering escalators with eco-friendly technologies, low energy consumption, and long-term durability, which align with the country’s green building initiatives.

Moreover, India is witnessing an influx of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the construction and infrastructure sectors, further stimulating the growth of the escalator market. As infrastructure development accelerates and urbanization continues, India is expected to lead the Asia-Pacific Escalator market’s growth during the forecast period.
