Dublin, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Vietnam Elevator and Escalator Market Size & Forecast Report 2026-2031” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Vietnam elevator and escalator market is poised for significant growth, with new installations expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.41% from 2025 to 2031. Several key drivers and opportunities underscore this trajectory.
Vietnam’s large-scale infrastructure and public investments are crucial drivers. In 2025, public investment reached VND 902 trillion ($34 billion), with expectations to grow further. Major transport projects, including high-speed rail and airport development, demand sophisticated vertical transport systems like elevators and escalators. Urban developments, led by top developers, also heighten demand across residential and commercial sectors.
Demographic shifts further fuel market growth, with Vietnam’s population projected to reach 104.7 million by 2029. The rapidly ageing population, specifically those over 60, will increase the need for accessible mobility solutions and modernization of existing systems.
Regulatory standards are intensifying demand. Buildings with more floors face stricter elevator installation requirements, while firefighting and accessibility-focused features further promote modern vertical transportation systems. These standards ensure compliance and safety, supporting market expansion.
Market Opportunities
AI integration presents compelling market opportunities. Urban centers like Ho Chi Minh City are increasingly adopting AI-enabled solutions from key players such as KONE, OTIS, and Schindler, which enhance system efficiency and safety through smart sensors and predictive maintenance. Such innovations align with Vietnam’s urbanization and smart city agendas.
Vietnam’s forthcoming Construction Law in 2025 is set to streamline project approvals and accelerate development, hence boosting elevator and escalator demand. The law will enhance transparency, attracting more investments, and encouraging both new builds and modernization efforts.
Industry Restraints
High costs remain a significant challenge. Installation expenditures often surpass $50,000 per unit, causing adoption hesitancy, particularly in emerging cities. Yearly maintenance costs also place financial burdens on building owners, sometimes leading to delays.
Geopolitical tensions and currency depreciation add constraints by affecting investment flow and increasing procurement costs. These external factors can moderate demand growth despite robust underlying conditions.
Vendor Landscape
International brands like Schindler, Mitsubishi Electric, and KONE dominate the market, while local and Chinese competitors gain ground due to cost advantages. Companies are expanding their offerings, with Schindler launching a new design collection in 2026, and KONE and Mitsubishi entering significant industry agreements and collaborations.
- Key Vendors: Otis, KONE, Schindler, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi.
