2026 China International Elevator Exhibition Focuses on AI Intelligence and Stock Market Upgrading


The 2026 China International Elevator Exhibition grandly opened in Guangzhou from May 20 to 22. As the largest and most influential elevator industry event in Asia, this exhibition gathered more than 400 global enterprises, showcasing the latest technologies and products in elevator manufacturing, maintenance and renovation, with a core focus on two major directions: AI intelligent applications and stock market upgrading.

At the exhibition, AI-driven active safety technology became the biggest highlight. Multiple smart elevator systems realized active prediction and intervention for abnormal scenarios such as children entering alone, elderly people falling, and people trapped due to malfunctions through millimeter-wave radar monitoring, active child locks, intelligent lighting control, and IoT remote response technologies, promoting elevator safety to leap from "passive protection" to "active guardianship". Meanwhile, industry enterprises jointly released AI-empowered intelligent elevator ecological integration solutions, deeply embedding artificial intelligence into the entire elevator lifecycle based on digital intelligence platforms, enabling open access for various complete elevator manufacturing, maintenance and community service enterprises.

Stock market upgrading became a core topic of the exhibition. With the slowdown in new elevator increments, demands for urban renewal, old elevator renovation and customized home elevators continue to be released, becoming the core driving force for industry growth. At the exhibition, multiple elevator installation solutions suitable for old communities, energy-efficient old elevator renovation technologies, and high-end customized home elevator products were showcased, balancing safety, aesthetics and practicality. In addition, the penetration rate of energy-saving technologies such as permanent magnet synchronous gearless traction machines and energy feedback devices continues to increase, with some products obtaining the EU’s highest energy efficiency certification, in line with the "dual carbon" development goals。

Industry association data shows that the scale of China’s elevator stock market exceeds 100 billion yuan in 2026. The in-depth integration of AI intelligence and green energy-saving technologies will become the key for enterprises to seize market share, driving the industry to transform from "equipment sales" to "full lifecycle intelligent services"。
