Furthermore, companies are innovating and launching advanced systems like cable-free elevators and interactive interfaces, reshaping the systems' operation and making them more responsive and user-friendly. Together, these innovations enhance connectivity and exceptional passenger experience, catering to modern building demands and enhancing overall functionality.

For instance, in August 2024, Otis Elevator Company (Thailand) Ltd. launched the Gen3 connected elevator platform in Thailand. The Gen3 platform, built on the success of Otis' Gen2 elevator family, is designed to seamlessly integrate with a building's ecosystem, providing passengers with enhanced connectivity and an exceptional passenger experience.

New Launching of Elevators Bolsters the Demand

New elevator launches are greatly boosting demand with new designs and new technologies. Catering to the requirements of all sectors, including residence and healthcare. Moreover, the introduction of SMART elevators also emphasizes safety and energy efficiency, coupled with digital connectivity, for an enhanced user experience. These advancements meet the rising urbanization demands, aligning with sustainability goals. As manufacturers develop next-generation elevator solutions, the market is poised for higher growth levels due to its shift toward modernized elevators and escalators that enhance building functionality and user satisfaction.

For instance, in December 2024, KONE Public Company Limited launched its high-rise minispaceTM DX elevator in Southeast Asia. Its travel height is at least 60 floors, and it can cut energy usage by up to 30% on a typical day. The elevator comes with KONE UltraRope, which is 80% lighter than traditional steel rope and three times more durable. 

New Installation Segment Leads the Market

The new installation segment leads the elevator and escalator market, driving the demand across all sectors. The expansion in the urban infrastructure and increasing structural complexity led to the requirement for new elevator systems with enhanced functionality and safety. Most new installations are integrated with smart technologies, ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability. This trend is further supported by the regulatory requirements in buildings, which lead to new elevator installations in residential, commercial, and healthcare facilities. The cities will continue development, construction and modernization, and high-rise building construction, and thus sustain demand for innovative elevator solutions to become common for contemporary architecture and urban planning.

For instance, in December 2024, Honour Group (Honour Asset Development Co., Ltd.) unveiled Pattaya's Tallest Sustainable Luxury Haven, an 8-billion-baht, 56-story luxury condominium development in North Pattaya, featuring biophilic design principles, rare freehold land, and comprehensive luxury amenities across 548 units targeting completion by 2029. Residents will get facilities such as newly installed zoned elevators – separating high and low floors for convenience and exclusivity.

Central Thailand Acquires the Highest Market Share

Central Thailand has become a prominent region with a huge demand for elevators, as it is Thailand's economic and commercial center. This region includes Bangkok, a city with high urban development and infrastructure growth requiring modernized elevator systems. Central Thailand is the rapidly growing economic heartland, attracting investments for infrastructure development from other parts of the country and abroad that seek greater economic and social opportunities. The concentration of high-rise buildings and commercial complexes necessitates upgradation in building systems. These building systems meet contemporary safety standards and enhance energy efficiency, which propels the demand for elevators in the Khampaeng Phet and Uthai Thani regions. The urban developments and expansion of metro networks necessitate the support infrastructure development of the elevators in Central Thailand.

For instance, in May 2024, Northern Bangkok Monorail Company Limited, a concessionaire for the MRT Pink Line (Khae Rai – Min Buri), opened the new walkalator (moving walkway) at the Nonthaburi Civic Centre Station (PK01).
