The elevator market in India is growing tremendously as elevators have become a requirement rather than a luxury. Most countries around the world are facing immense pressure to develop public infrastructures that would ease the vertical commute, especially for the elderly and physically challenged. Therefore, governments around the world are building infrastructures that can be visited by everyone, without any hassle.
Connections Elevator, a North American elevator maintenance enterprise has stated in its report that there are around 900000 operative elevators around the world. This is only a small reflection of how important the elevators are to people living in the 21st century. Therefore, the elevator market is predicted to register a CAGR of 4.5 percent – 5.2 percent till 2025.
