The Kuwait Elevator and Escalator Market are poised for significant growth, driven by various key factors shaping the country's landscape. Kuwait has seen a surge in private housing development, utilizing vast land areas, with 2022 witnessing the use of 99.45 million square meters for private housing, averaging 480 square meters per land

. The year 2023 is expected to surpass 100 million square meters as Kuwait embarks on building more cities to accommodate the Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW). Notably, the land vacancy rate in Kuwait was only 20 percent in 2022, significantly lower compared to other Gulf countries, where vacancies range from 35 to 40 percent.

Kuwait is actively working to enhance its attractiveness for investments and businesses, with the Ministry of Public Works and the Public Authority for Housing Welfare spearheading multiple nationwide projects and building initiatives. Upcoming smart homes and public place projects in significant centers like Jaber Al Ahmad, West Abdullah Al Mubarak, and East Taima are aimed at meeting the growing housing demand while contributing to the expansion of the Kuwait elevator and escalator market.

Furthermore, Kuwait's thriving tourism and infrastructure projects are driving the demand for new elevator and escalator installations. The Ministry of Health and Public Works has announced a substantial project, backed by an investment of approximately USD 4.42 billion (KD 1.250 billion), to replace or expand nine operational hospitals, including both general and specialized hospitals, over the next decade. This initiative aims to add 5,400 beds, 150 operating rooms, and 500 outpatient clinics to the existing healthcare infrastructure, further enticing international investors to participate in Kuwait's infrastructure projects.

Additionally, the ongoing development of the new T2 passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport, set to open in 2024, highlights the government's commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. The terminal is planned to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification and will have a capacity of serving 25 million passengers annually.

Its design includes provisions for accommodating up to 21 Airbus and A380 aircraft simultaneously, with 51 boarding gates and ample parking spaces. This ambitious project is expected to play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the Kuwait elevator and escalator market.

Report Highlights

As part of its Vision 2035, Kuwait intends to entice local and foreign investors to engage in economic development projects. The construction of the southern and northern banks and the two artificial islands of the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Causeway is a crucial component of this vision. These districts will be developed into business, employment, recreation, and tourism centers.

Private housing comprises 78% of the Kuwait Metropolitan Area (K.M.A.). The Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) has plans to provide an additional 35,600 housing plots nationwide by 2025.
