What are the Key Drivers Influencing Construction Elevators Market's Expansion?

Construction Elevators, also known as construction hoists, building hoists, or construction lifts are installed outside of the construction project to efficiently move material as well as workers on different levels of construction. They play a crucial role in improving safety, and productivity in construction sites, particularly in projects involving high-rise buildings, infrastructure development, and maintenance work.

The rapid pace of urbanization, coupled with population growth, has led to increased demand for urban spaces. To accommodate growing populations, countries are turning to vertical growth through the construction of skyscrapers. Construction elevators are essential for efficient vertical transportation in these tall structures, making them a crucial component of skyscraper construction projects.

Skyscrapers enable high-density development, allowing for efficient land use and maximizing the available space in urban areas. Countries such as China, the US, and UAE are prominent in building skyscrapers. Since 2000, more than 185 structures of height more than 300 meters are built globally with China accounting for 52%, UAE accounting for 17%, and the US accounting for 9%.

The number of skyscrapers built per year has been growing with 8% CAGR since 1950s to 2021. This growing number of skyscraper construction represents significant opportunities for construction elevators to streamline the construction project.

Worker safety is of paramount importance in the construction industry, and regulatory frameworks are continually evolving to ensure a safe working environment. Regulations governing height and fall protection play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of construction workers working at elevated levels as falls from heights during construction work are estimated to be the cause of 30% of deaths on construction sites.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States requires employers to provide fall protection systems when workers are exposed to vertical drops of six feet or more. To comply with these regulations, construction firms often utilize construction elevators as a safe and efficient means of vertical transportation. Construction elevators help minimize fall risks by providing secure and controlled transportation between different levels of the construction sites.

Besides new construction, renovation, and redevelopment projects also contribute to the demand for construction elevators. Refurbishing older buildings often requires temporary vertical transportation systems during construction. Renovation projects often involve significant structural modifications, additions, or refurbishments of existing buildings. Such projects require efficient vertical transportation solutions to move workers, tools, and materials within the confined spaces of the building.

Construction elevators offer a practical and safe solution for vertical transportation during renovation projects, facilitating task's smooth and timely completion. For instance, the renovation project of the Eiffel Tower in France used a customized construction elevator by Alimak. The increasing number of renovation projects is driving the demand for construction elevators in the construction industry.

Which Region Is Projected to Offer the Largest Construction Elevators?

North America is a prominent shareholder in the market with a market size of US$ 217.8 Million in 2022. It is projected that North America will have a market worth US$ 329.2 Million by 2033.

The North American construction industry is subject to stringent safety regulations. OSHA has specific regulations pertaining to fall protection in construction under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M. The regulations are intended to prevent fall-related accidents and injuries, which are among the leading causes of fatalities in the construction industry.

By having stringent fall protection regulations like those set forth by OSHA, the construction industry is compelled to prioritize worker safety when working at heights. Construction elevators, when designed and used in compliance with these regulations, offer a safer alternative to traditional methods of vertical transportation, such as ladders or scaffolding.
