Therefore, it is expected to drive Australia elevator and escalator market growth during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends - Use of regenerative drives in elevators and escalators

There is an increasing development of regenerative drives due to the growing need to develop energy-efficient, in-building transport systems. One of the main innovations in modern-day elevator technology is the regenerative drives.  The main advantage of regenerative drives is that they help to capture the heat generated by the extra power and convert it to reusable energy that can be utilized in the building.

Moreover, another significant benefit of the regenerative drive is that it helps to save energy by facilitating the motor to become a generator during periods of low loads. Some of the main factors that influence the energy saved by the regenerative drives include the height of the building, the frequency of use of the elevator, the weight of the load, and the capacity of the elevator. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the Australia - elevator and escalator market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the Australia elevator and escalator market growth during the forecast period.

Major Market  Challenge - High cost of repair and maintenance of elevators and escalators

The high cost of operations associated with the operation, maintenance, and retrofit of elevators and escalators is one of the significant challenges associated with the elevator and escalator market in Australia. Even though the average shelf life of a newly installed escalator is 20-30 years, there are several operational challenges that need constant maintenance and monitoring of these elevators and escalators.

Moreover, the machine getting stuck, the call box not working, odd noises, and jumpy or bumpy rides are some of the key challenges associated with elevators and escalators. As a result, to overcome such issues, these elevators and escalators require frequent maintenance in some cases replacement of the components. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the Australia - elevator and escalator market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the Australia elevator and escalator market growth during the forecast period.
