무빙워크 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Moving Walkways Market was valued at USD 4.2 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2034. The market is witnessing strong momentum as urban landscapes worldwide continue to evolve, prompting city planners and developers to prioritize smart mobility infrastructure. With growing population densities in metropolitan areas, efficient pedestrian movement is becoming a critical component of transportation ecosystems. Moving walkways are gaining traction as they offer streamlined, automated solutions for managing foot traffic across busy public and commercial spaces. From large airports and metro stations to shopping malls and exhibition centers, these systems help minimize walking time, improve accessibility for people with mobility challenges, and reduce congestion in high-traffic zones.

Rising investments in public infrastructure projects and the modernization of existing transit systems are also fueling demand for advanced moving walkway systems. Governments and private developers are increasingly integrating automated pedestrian transport into their master plans, especially in the context of smart city initiatives. The emphasis on sustainable and efficient urban mobility is further amplifying the adoption of moving walkways equipped with features like energy-saving drives, intelligent sensors, and real-time monitoring. As the focus on safety, convenience, and automation deepens, moving walkways are becoming a preferred mobility solution in both new developments and retrofitted spaces. The market is also benefiting from advancements in materials and design technologies, which contribute to durability, low maintenance, and enhanced user experience.

By product type, the belt-type moving walkways segment generated USD 3.3 billion in revenue in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2025 and 2034. These walkways feature flat, continuous belts that offer a smooth and stable surface for pedestrians, making them ideal for travelers with strollers, wheeled luggage, or mobility aids. The design reduces tripping risks and enhances the overall safety of the walkway. The versatility of belt-type systems makes them suitable for diverse settings, ranging from commercial centers to high-traffic public transit terminals. Their growing popularity stems from their ability to blend seamlessly with modern architecture while providing a safer and more efficient transit experience.

When it comes to installation, indoor moving walkways dominated the global market in 2024, accounting for a 70% share, and are expected to grow at a 5.3% CAGR through 2034. The increasing need for pedestrian flow optimization in indoor spaces-such as airports, train stations, and shopping complexes-is driving this growth. The rising demand for connected, tech-driven infrastructure within enclosed environments is encouraging the integration of walkways to enhance crowd management and passenger convenience.

North America held a 33.5% share of the global moving walkways market, generating USD 1.4 billion in 2024. The region remains a key adopter due to continuous investments in public infrastructure, including large airports, urban transit systems, and commercial developments. In addition to North America, rapid adoption across Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa is being driven by infrastructure modernization and smart city growth.

Major players in the global moving walkways market include Hitachi LTD, TK Elevator, Otis Elevator Company, Mitsubishi Electric Corp, Johnson Lifts Private Limited, Toshiba Corporation, Stannah, Fujitec, KLEEMANN, KONE Corporation, Sicher Elevator Co., Ltd., Hyundai Elevator Company, Dazen Elevator, Schindler, and Delfar Elevator Co., Ltd. These companies are enhancing their competitive edge by investing in R&D, offering energy-efficient solutions, and integrating intelligent automation. Collaborations with transit authorities and infrastructure developers are enabling deeper market penetration, while digital monitoring and improved after-sales services are helping operators boost performance and minimize downtime.
