2018 marked the year when China’s market for retrofitting elevators in existing buildings experienced explosive growth. Conservatively estimated, the demand for retrofitting elevators in China’s existing buildings is around 3.5 million units. Unlike the traditional elevator market, the retrofitting market for existing buildings is an emerging one, placing even more stringent demands on elevator manufacturing technology. Issues such as elevator machine-room temperature control, cooling challenges within steel-structure shafts, and elevator noise levels all require higher standards. This new market presents new opportunities, and the rapid expansion of the retrofitting market for existing buildings has created fresh chances for elevator manufacturers to leapfrog their competitors.
