U.S. Elevator Maintenance Market by type is dominated by Traction Elevators in 2020 with a revenue of $2.3 billion. Rise of elevator accidents towards mid and high rise buildings in U.S have been creating major demands toward regular monitoring and maintenance of traction elevators in order to ensure high level safety for the building residents. With the increasing growth of high and mid-rise buildings in the country, traction elevators face high dominance in order to ensure efficient transportation systems. Since the traction elevators leverage ropes and sheaves, regular monitoring and maintenance is highly required to avoid critical conditions in the long run, as they are deployed across different industrial environments. With continuous wear and tear, the traction between the sheave and the cables gets reduced and slippage becomes more regular, which ultimately reduces efficiency standards and can become dangerous if left unchecked. Such factors cause high requirements towards scheduled maintenance for improving the productivity of such elevators, thereby boosting the market.

Commercial vertical is analyzed to be the dominant vertical with a revenue of $2.2 billion in 2020. Growing construction of malls, hospitals, offices, hotels and others in this region leads to increase in demand for elevators that in turn drives the market for elevator maintenance. Moreover, rising advancements have caused various market players to invest towards smart elevator systems due to rising construction of commercial buildings. Usage of advanced features including cloud technologies help the authorities towards proper maintenance of elevators across hospitals, hotels, malls and many others. Such factors have been propelling market demands towards improving elevator maintenance standards. 

Global U.S. Elevator Maintenance Market is dominated by low rise building which is growing at the highest CAGR of 4.0% through 2026. Rising technological advancements in order to enhance elevator maintenance standards across the various low rise building sites has been also acting as a major driver towards higher dominance of elevators in the market. Elevator maintenance combined with automatic operations such as door closing and opening without the tapping of buttons, improves the functionality of the machines, thus helping in creating high demand across low rise building operations. Since technology is advancing at a rapid pace, construction of low rise buildings such as hotels, hospitals and many others have been also facing high shift towards improving use of smart technology based elevators. 

U.S Elevator Maintenance Market, By Building Size

Continued expansion in the construction market and improved economic conditions would allow the Elevator Maintenance industry to continue its upward trajectory. Planned improvements in the US real estate market will drive growth primarily as the markets for residential, industrial, commercial and institutional construction expand. These downstream markets collectively account for almost three-quarters of the total market for the industry. Consequently, strong growth across these downstream markets is expected to increase the demand for contractors for installation services, benefiting industrial operators. 

The factors attributable to the increasing adoption of elevator maintenance services are a rapid rise in industrialization and construction activities. As per U.S Census Bureau, the total value of public construction in 2020 amounted to $ 353,300 million in June as compared to $ 355,751 million and $ 351,318 in May and April respectively. Such growth of residential as well as non-residential buildings construction in the country has been causing high adoption towards elevators.

The growing concern about accidents in the elevators is expected to affect the market. More than 30 people are killed in the U.S., according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statics and Consumer Product Safety Board, and about 17,000 are seriously injured in elevator accidents each year. Incidents with the elevator are responsible for about 90% of deaths and 60% of serious injuries. According to the Center for Construction Research and Training, elevators are responsible for an estimated 27 deaths a year in the United States, and around 10,000 injuries. Most of these include maintenance workers who install or fix elevators or work close to an elevator shaft.

Product launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the U.S. Elevator Maintenance Market. U.S. Elevator Maintenance Market is expected to be dominated by major companies such as ThyssenKrupp AG, Otis elevator, Pine state, KONE Corporation, Mitsubishi electric, FUJITEC, dover corporation, amtec, Anlev and Armor among others.
