The escalators and moving walkways market size is expected to reach USD 23.61 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Escalators and Moving Walkways Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product, Business (New Equipment, Maintenance, and Modernization), End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Rising investments in construction projects are driving the escalators and moving walkways market growth. Governments across the countries are increasingly allocating funds to the development of new commercial buildings, residential complexes, and public infrastructure, which is raising the demand for vertical transportation systems. Escalators and moving walkways are essential in large, multi-story structures such as shopping malls, airports, office buildings, and transportation hubs. Additionally, the expansion of cities and urbanization is pushing the need for modern, high-capacity systems.
Technological advancements are making escalators and moving walkways safer, more efficient, and easier to maintain. Features such as energy-efficient motors and better safety systems are making them more appealing to building owners. These innovations lower costs, increase lifespan, and drive more installations in buildings and public spaces, fueling the escalator and moving walkways market expansion.
Public transit systems are major consumers of the escalator and moving walkways market as they handle high volumes of passengers daily. Airports, train stations, and subway systems require better ways to move people quickly between levels. Escalators and moving walkways help reduce congestion, ensure smooth movement, and enhance the overall passenger experience, making them essential in these environments.
