6. Detailed Segmentation

Vietnam Elevator Market, Segmentation

The Vietnam Elevator Market is segmented on the basis of Segment A, Segment B, and Segment C.

Segment A — Product Type

The Segment A segment is further classified into Passenger Elevators, Freight Elevators, Home Elevators, and Others. Among these, the Passenger Elevators sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2023.
Passenger elevators dominate the market due to their widespread installation in residential and commercial infrastructure across Vietnam. With rising urban migration and increasing construction of multi-story buildings, passenger elevators have become the most preferred vertical transport solution. Their advanced safety features, larger cabin capacities, and technology upgrades, including smart destination control and energy-saving components, contribute significantly to their high market penetration. Continued demand for luxury residential and hospitality developments is expected to maintain the strong growth outlook for this segment.

Segment B — Technology

The Segment B segment is further classified into Hydraulic Elevators, Traction Elevators, and Machine-Room-Less (MRL) Elevators. Among these, the Traction Elevators sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2023.
Traction elevators hold a dominant position owing to their superior performance in medium- and high-rise buildings, faster operating speeds, and lower long-term maintenance costs compared to traditional hydraulics. Growing consumer preference for eco-efficient traction systems equipped with permanent magnet motors and regenerative drives reinforces segment demand. These systems offer space efficiency, enhanced safety mechanisms, and smooth ride quality, making them the preferred choice for commercial complexes, high-rise residential towers, and business centers across Vietnam.
