MARKET DRIVERS & OPPORTUNITIES
Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Thailand Elevator and Escalator Market is Expected to Create Future Opportunities in the Market
- The integration of AI in the Thailand elevator and escalator market reflects a growing trend in the modernization of urban infrastructure. AI-driven solutions enhance safety, efficiency, and user experience in public and private transportation systems.
- AI monitors real-time data from sensors installed in elevators and escalators to predict and prevent potential malfunctions. This reduces downtime and improves the reliability of equipment. Companies like KONE and Otis have already implemented AI-based predictive maintenance globally, including in Asia-Pacific regions like Thailand.
- In 2023, Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) Co., Ltd. emphasized its commitment to enhancing vertical transportation (VT) equipment performance through a combination of human expertise and artificial intelligence (AI).
Sustainable Construction Practices to Drive Demand
- Many construction projects in Thailand now aim for certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies). Elevators and escalators with energy-efficient technologies, such as regenerative drives and smart energy management systems, align with these green building standards and support the Thailand elevator and escalator market growth.
- In September 2024, to support Thailand's green transition, IFC (a member of the World Bank Group) is investing in a sustainability-linked bond (SLB) issued by Central Pattana Public Company Limited (CPN), a leading retail property developer in the country. This marks Central Pattana's debut in issuing a sustainability-linked bond and IFC's first investment in a publicly listed bond in Thailand.
Increased Investments in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Initiative to Boost the Construction Industry
- The surge in investment in Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is driving a significant rise in construction projects, fueled by its strategic location, infrastructure development, and business-friendly policies. These investment plans have a positive impact on the Thailand elevator and escalator market growth. In 2024, 251 businesses invested USD 1.32 billion in the region, marking a 128% increase from the previous year.
- These investments, led by major players from Japan, China, and Hong Kong, are expected to accelerate infrastructure expansion and new construction initiatives, creating jobs and strengthening Thailand's economic position in ASEAN.
Development Projects in Tourism Sub-Sectors to Push Demand
- Tourism remains vital to Thailand's economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. Thailand aims to attract 40 million tourists in 2025 to recover from COVID-19 impacts but concerns about overcrowding and overtourism persist. The government plans to promote lesser-known destinations and increase visitor spending. Such factors are projected to support the Thailand elevator and escalator market growth during the forecast period.
- Bangkok's real estate market experienced notable growth between July and September 2024, with eight new hotels adding a total of 1,534 rooms. By September, Year-to-Date (YTD) hotel investment transactions in Thailand had reached approximately USD 404 million.
INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS
Labor Shortages to Hinder the Completion of Construction Projects
- The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is experiencing a significant demographic change as the silver generation (individuals aged 60 and above) becomes prominent. Projections indicate that the population of this group is expected to reach 2.2 billion by 2050, constituting 25% of the global population. Moreover, the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), Thailand's major planning agency, in September 2024 warned that the working-age people and this population segment have been declining steadily over the years.
- Thailand's labor market is facing structural challenges intensified by the digital revolution, leading to the demand for swift adjustments from workers, businesses, and the government for global competitiveness. Despite a rapid recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, persistent issues include workforce distribution shifts and declining productivity.
Rising Land and Housing Prices to Restrict Residential Construction Across the Country
- In 2024, Thailand's residential property market has been grappling with various challenges, including rising costs of land, labor, and construction materials, which have driven up housing prices.
- The construction price index rose by 3.9% year-on-year, signaling higher costs for new residential projects expected in 2025. Unsold units, particularly townhouses, and condos priced between 2-5 million baht, have led developers to adopt competitive pricing strategies.
- In H1 2024, land allocation permits nationwide dropped by 14.7% year-on-year, with the Northeast seeing the steepest decline at 67.1%. Similarly, approved construction areas fell by 14.9% year-on-year, with Bangkok and its surrounding areas experiencing a 24.8% decrease.
