MARKET OPPORTUNITIES & DRIVERS

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Philippines Elevator and Escalator Market Is Expected to Create Future Opportunities

• The integration of AI in the Philippines 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 countries like the Philippines.
• In December 2024, IFE Elevator won the bid for the IBIS Style Hotel Malate Project. IFE Elevator has planned to specially design the METIS and JOYMORE series passenger elevators as well as the FPA series large-tonnage freight elevators for the project.

Sustainable Construction Practices to Drive Demand

• In September 2024, to support the country's energy transition the International Finance Corporation (IFC) joined forces with the European Union (EU) under the Green Economy Programme for the Philippines (GEPP). Furthermore, the Philippines's growing emphasis on modular construction, particularly in the housing market, is creating opportunities in the elevator market. This shift is closely tied to the country's move toward sustainable building practices, supported by collaborations between the government and the private sector.
• In the Philippines, construction costs are rising significantly in 2025. Modular construction emerges as a key solution in this regard. This innovative construction technology enhances productivity by accelerating construction timelines and reducing project duration.

Surge in Infrastructure Projects to Drive Philippines Elevator and Escalator Market Growth

• Under the "Build, Better, More" program, total infrastructure expenditures have been allocated USD 26 billion in the executed 2024 budget. The Philippines is making significant progress in infrastructure, including massive bridge-building projects, expanded road networks, and modernized airports.
• Furthermore, the government, through its Infrastructure Programme, is investing in transport infrastructure projects, such as the Metro Manila Subway, expected to be completed in 2028, which will benefit major central business districts (CBDs) like Quezon City, Ortigas, Fort Bonifacio, Pasay, and Valenzuela.

Increasing Real Estate & Commercial Investment to Create Demand

• In 2025, economic growth and urbanization are fueling new residential developments in the Philippines. With a growing middle class and rapid urbanization, there is a high demand for housing in the Philippines, particularly in metro areas like Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Makati, and Quezon City.
• Furthermore, the Philippines government is making efforts towards mass housing programs with the implementation of the National Housing Authority. The government is also making efforts to forge alliances among housing developers and industry partners to attain 7 million homes for 2023-2030.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

Skilled Labor Shortage in The Country to Hamper The Demand

The growing skills gap is a major factor in this labor shortage issue, with the construction industry needing to recruit over two million workers by the end of 2025 to keep up with demand. In October 2024, PlanRadar, a European digital SaaS platform, recognized the long-standing issue of worker shortages and warned that the skills gap could drive up labor costs, particularly impacting small and medium-sized construction firms.

Rising Construction Costs to Hamper Demand

In January 2025, the Asian Bank highlighted that the Philippines has faced rising inflation and fluctuating exchange rates in recent years, significantly impacting construction costs and hampering the Philippines elevator and escalator market growth. Also, the peso depreciated by 10.5% against the US dollar in 2022, saw a short-term 1.0% appreciation in 2023, but weakened again by 4.2% in 2024. Therefore, this currency volatility has contributed to higher costs for imported construction materials.
