GLOBAL ESCALATORS MARKET

KEY FINDINGS

• As of August 2020, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has 7.17 billion sq. ft of registered real estate under development as ‘Green’. This constitutes over 5,918 registered projects. This augurs well for the vertical transportation sector, especially for smart and intelligent and sustainable solutions, a key enabler in the process of urbanization of cities.
• A total of 6.5 million square meters of new shopping center space was to be delivered in 2019-20. With 2.5 million square meters alone was due to be completed in 2020.
• Recently, new projects in middle-east countries have increased the demand for escalators of major companies.
• Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry faced a challenge to observe and enforce the highest safety standards in vertical transportation, which lead to the development of auto-sanitize/anti-microbial technologies to escalator handrail.

INTRODUCTION

The global trends around urbanization remain unchanged; denser urban developments and taller buildings in metropolitan areas, an increasing flow of people moving around cities, a growing middle class and aging populations, as well as a continuing trend towards one-person households all, drive demand for escalators.

The invention of the escalator was, literally, ground-breaking. It expanded our concept of space and time and, accordingly redefined the possibilities of the shuttle.

Stairs and elevators were for the committed and purposeful, their limitations constraining vertical expansion, above and below ground. Stairs require patience and effort. The Escalator has a constant flow of people who could ascend and descend floor to floor and with modified architecture, creating fluid transitions into spaces above and below.

ESCALATORSMARKET DYNAMICS

Escalator seeks to maximize the use of architectural space through design that employs ergonomic curves and values harmony with the building. It will be equipped with a variety of optional features for efficient maintenance and energy savings, including system inverters, transport capacity control systems and CRT monitoring panels, etc.

By innovation, a slip prevention step, foot slip minimization system, and other advanced safety devices provide higher stability and greater comfort. With power modernization and with enhanced safety, reliability, energy efficiency and appearance. The process will be completed with minimal downtime and disruption.

In recent years, it is witnessed that smart technology has been transforming the vertical transportation industry by incorporating advanced technologies that offer facilities with increased security, improved energy efficiency, and effective crowd management.

The properties of smart escalators such as low energy consumption and faster operations will have a positive impact on the growth of the market in the coming years. As the industry navigates through these unprecedented times, touchless technology has been transforming the industry to make built environments healthier.

The major aim of all the players is to provide enhanced safety and convenience through means such as developing congestion detection systems. To do so, a proactive approach is preferred for human resource development and improving technological capabilities globally.

In Vientiane, the capital of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Hitachi Elevator Laos Co., Ltd., a subsidiary for the sales and service of elevators and escalators, has been formed and has started operating fully. 

Hitachi Elevator Laos is a joint venture between Tangchareon Construction Sole Co., Ltd., an affiliated concrete business under the control of the Laotian conglomerate Tangchareon Group, and Siam-Hitachi Elevator Co., Ltd., Hitachi's elevator design and manufacturing subsidiary in the Kingdom of Thailand.

RECENT LAUNCH

Hitachi has announced the debut of their new TX Series escalator for India, Asia, and the Middle East, which is a model that fits a number of criteria. The TX Series, which was introduced by Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Building Systems Co., Ltd. and has the same concept as the machine-room-less elevator in Asia and the Middle East, has a practical design that adjusts to users' unconscious movements.

The new series was developed in accordance with international safety requirements as well as Hitachi's stringent safety and quality standards. The left and right sections of the escalator are fitted with brushes at foot level to alert passengers if their feet hit the side walls, and the side sections are 8mm higher than the central section to prevent the user's shoes from being caught on the stair.

In the new TX Series, a unique polish is placed to the escalator's heading and neb to prevent riders from slipping while boarding or exiting.
