4 Market Characterisation<br />

As part of the <strong>E4</strong> Project, a survey was conducted with the cooperation of national lift and<br />

escalator associations in 19 <strong>European</strong> countries – Germany, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,<br />

Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,<br />

Spain, Sweden, UK, Norway and Switzerland. The purpose of this survey was to assist in the<br />

characterisation of the installed base, according to the building type and basic characteristics<br />

of the installed units.<br />

4.1 <strong>Lift</strong> Market<br />

According to the surveys there are around 4,5 million lifts installed in the 19 countries<br />

surveyed. Figure 4‐1 shows the distribution of the lifts installed in each of the surveyed<br />
