Home Elevator Market: Overview

Home elevators are vertically transporting machines designed to be used in a residential or home setting. Home elevators should not be confused with home lifts. Although both the machines perform the same function, there is a significant difference between the two in terms of several factors including size and weight carrying capacity. Home elevators are larger than home lifts and can carry more weight. Furthermore, they are designed keeping in view multiple factors. For instance, while the primary goal is to transport people or objects from one floor to another, home elevators have to be aesthetically pleasing as well. They are available in various types such as hydraulic, pneumatic, traction, and others. Several companies are currently operating in the market delivering results as per client expectations by designing home elevators that not only serve the purpose but also fit in the overall residential structure. The rising research and innovation in terms of home elevator technology and the growing integration of advanced systems may help in delivering promising results during the forecast period.

Home Elevator Market: Growth Drivers

Rising number of 2 or more storey residential houses to create high demand

The global home elevator market is expected to grow due to the rising number of 2 or more storey homes across the globe. The increasing disposable income and changing preference for the normal population to live in separate homes away from main cities or urban areas has triggered a high construction rate of personally-owned residential homes housing all family members. Factors that are pushing the trend forward include a rising number of earning members in the family along with an increasing rate of home loans, migration of people from city areas to quiet and peaceful living areas, and a surge in home loan or financial assistance sanctions. For instance, India’s home loan market was valued at INR 22 lakh crore in 2022 and is expected to double in the coming 5 years. In homes with more than one floor, people tend to invest in home elevators especially if there is significant movement of people or objects from one floor to another. Home elevators ease the process of movement while improving the overall residential aesthetics.

Increasing geriatric population and people with medical conditions may contribute to higher consumption

The growing number of elderly population and people with medical conditions that restrict mobility are expected to fuel the demand and consumption of home elevators to new heights. As per an October 2022 report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people over 60 years old was higher than children below 5 years in 2020. As per official statistics, WHO predicts between 2015 and 2050, the number of people over 60 years will double from 12% to 22%. In addition to this, there are millions of people affected by serious medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, genetic conditions, and cardiovascular diseases. These conditions are known to reduce or negatively impact mobility among patients requiring them to use external assistance for movement especially vertically. In such situations, home elevators can be highly beneficial since these machines can hold heavy weight including the weight of the patient and wheelchair if needed.

Home Elevator Market: Restraints

High machinery costs may restrict market growth

Home elevators are complex machines. Their production and installation cost is extremely high, which restricts global home elevator market growth. For instance, basic home elevators may cost around 1 million in initial placement. The expense increases gradually as additional maintenance cost burden piles up. These factors make home elevators a luxury product catering to the needs of a niche group of consumers. People with limited income in emerging or economically struggling nations may not have access to such high amounts for investing in home elevators. Furthermore, a large part of the potential consumers prefer using stairs for moving between floors. There are other alternate methods to assist in such transportation such as the installation of slopes for transporting goods or using stair chairs.

Home Elevator Market: Opportunities

New product launches and increased research & development may create expansion possibilities

The home elevator industry size may witness further expansion due to the ongoing research and development activities facilitating the launch of more advanced and premium home elevators as consumer preference continues to evolve. In May 2019, Thyssenkrupp Access, a leading manufacturer of lifts and other accessibility products, announced its plans to launch an affordable range of home elevators in the emerging Indian market thus expanding its presence in the global commercial world. Furthermore, developments such as connecting home elevators with renewable energy sources, employing better technical features, integration with smart home systems, voice-controlled attributes, and remote diagnostics are expected to help the market generate higher growth momentum during the projection period. Companies manufacturing home elevators are working on improving space efficiency by developing elevators that can be accommodated in smaller spaces as the world struggles with reducing land accessibility. For instance, shaft-less elevators, also known as through-floor elevators, are ideal for two-floor homes. They can be retrofitted into existing homes and do not require large areas as compared to traditional home elevators. Companies provide variations in mechanical designs, cab styles, and other installation requirements.

Home Elevator Market: Challenges

Machine safety and competition from home lifts to challenge market growth

The home elevator industry players face challenges owing to the confusion between home lifts and home elevators. While technically, both machines perform the role, there are significant differences between the two vertical transportation machines. More awareness about distinguishing factors will help companies operate without confusion from the consumer's end. Furthermore, the safety of the machines remains a critical point of concern for manufacturers and users. Only high-grade must be used along with advanced machine operating technology to ensure user safety. Any compromise on these aspects can lead to severe accidents.

Home Elevator Market: Report Scope

Home Elevator Market: Regional Analysis

North America to register the highest growth rate during the projected timeline

The global home elevator market is expected to witness the highest growth in North America with the US leading region. One of the primary reasons for higher regional growth is the presence of an extensive luxury home segment in the US. The standard of living in the US is higher with a large part of the population living in standalone homes with multiple storey. As per multiple official reports, New York is home to some of the most luxurious, rarest, and expensive penthouses. The average cost of a Manhattan penthouse is around USD 2621 per square foot. The country is also home to some of the most important manufacturers of home elevators working on deploying advanced systems for improved experience. Other factors such as a rising rate of geriatric population and high per capita income may further drive regional growth. Asia-Pacific is one of the most crucial emerging markets and has gained attention from several home elevator manufacturers and suppliers in recent times. Countries such as Singapore, India, China, South Korea, and Japan are the most essential regional markets.
