MECHANICAL PARKING EQUIPMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global mechanical parking equipment market is value at USD 4.63 Billion in 2026 and eventually reaching USD 11.88 Billion by 2035 expanding at a CAGR of 12.5% from 2026 to 2035.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lowerr-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

A multi-story car park (also known as a parking garage, parking structure, parking ramp, parkade, or parking deck) is a facility that is specifically intended for automobile parking and has a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. It is essentially a stacked parking lot. A multi-story car parking system is an excellent substitute for a parking lot. Since in the current world, where space has become a major issue, and in the period of miniaturization, it has become a critical necessity to reduce space wasting in modern, large organizations and residences.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Pandemic Caused Underlying Malady Downsized the Market Share

We can all see how the COVID-19 epidemic has brought about a great number of unanticipated and significant changes in every business, whether it be the automotive, hospitality, aviation, retail, or any other. As an economy becomes less stable, unemployment rates rise. Furthermore, COVID-19 is to blame for the high unemployment rate that is currently present globally. Setbacks and forced lockdown forbidding people to stay at home to harshly affect the mechanical parking equipment market growth. Here is how the situation stands, with the pandemic having a negative impact on the mechanical parking equipment market share.

LATEST TRENDS

Mechanized Parking Being Simply Green and Environment Friendly to Bolster the Market Sales

For the first time in history, the world's population is concentrated in cities rather than outside of them. By 2030, cities will house more than 60% of the world's population. This means that cities will have to become more imaginative in order to provide high-quality living and services while remaining environmentally responsible. Cities currently consume more than 75% of all energy generated and generate more than 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One strategy to reduce cities' carbon footprint is to lessen the need for parking. More automatic parking means fewer cars on the road, less traffic, and cleaner air for everyone.

Mechanized parking provides numerous environmental benefits. Saving ground area is one of the most significant advantages of conventional underground or open space parking. Gardening and landscaping, as well as additional buildings, can make good use of the extra outdoor area. It also decreases noise and other contaminants greatly.

• According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), by 2030, over 60% of the global population will live in cities. This urban density is pushing demand for mechanized parking systems to optimize limited space and reduce environmental impact.
• Mechanized parking can save up to 80% of ground space compared to conventional parking, according to the International Parking Institute (IPI). This allows for additional green spaces, landscaping, and building developments, reducing noise and pollution in urban areas.

MECHANICAL PARKING EQUIPMENT MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the mechanical parking equipment market is classified as lifting and traversing class, simple lift, plane movement and others.

The type lifting and traversing class is the leading part of the type segment.

• Lifting and Traversing Class: This class emphasizes mastering the art of safely lifting and moving loads across workspaces. It combines strength techniques with spatial awareness to ensure efficiency and accident prevention.
• Simple Lift: A simple lift focuses on the fundamentals of lifting objects with minimal mechanical aid. Proper posture and controlled motion are highlighted to reduce strain and improve precision.
• Plane Movement: Plane movement involves maneuvering loads along defined horizontal or vertical planes. It trains operators to maintain balance and control while moving objects smoothly in any direction.
• Others: This category covers specialized or unconventional lifting and moving techniques. It encourages adaptability for unique tasks that don’t fit standard procedures, promoting problem-solving skills.

By Application

Based on application the mechanical parking equipment market is classified as residential area, business district and others.

The part residential area is the leading type of the application segment.

• Residential Area: Quiet streets lined with trees and cozy homes create a serene retreat from city bustle. Families and neighbors thrive here, sharing a sense of community and comfort.
• Business District: Towering buildings and bustling streets pulse with energy, where commerce and innovation converge. Professionals navigate a dynamic landscape of offices, shops, and opportunities.
• Others: From parks to industrial zones, these spaces serve unique purposes beyond living or work. They blend utility and recreation, shaping the city’s diverse character.

DRIVING FACTORS

Low Maintenance, Operating and Construction Cost to Evolve the Market Share

Mechanical parking is less expensive to build. MLCPS are delivered pre-fabricated and assembled on-site. Because the system operates automatically, additional costs associated with underground parking, such as building structure, lighting, and security, are avoided. Because mechanical car parking systems use less energy to operate, operating costs are low. Because the cars are not driven in the parking lot, there is no need for energy-intensive ventilation systems. Cladding can be specially chosen to match the building's facade.

• As reported by the U.S. Department of Energy, mechanical parking systems can reduce construction costs by up to 30% compared to traditional underground parking. Pre-fabrication and automated operations contribute to these savings.
• Mechanical parking systems can increase parking capacity by 50–70% within the same land footprint, according to the European Parking Association (EPA). This is particularly valuable in densely populated urban residential and business districts.

A Wide Array of Benefits to the Vehicle Owners to Inflate the Market Share

Mechanical parking provides so much more to both users and owners of parking spaces. For example, a mechanical park lift system is capable of expanding the capacity of a parking lot without much difficulty. In most places, increasing the amount of space that a parking lot takes is impossible because land is limited, but having a mechanical park lift system means increasing the number of spaces available without increasing the amount of land space needed.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The COVID-19 Pandemic to Act as Barrier for the New Entrants and Market Players

As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, many governments implemented stringent limitations by announcing complete lockdowns, resulting in a minor slowdown in growth activity. Furthermore, the governments of several countries invested heavily in their healthcare systems to help identify the signs of the virus and stop its spread, which included restrictions such as no crowding of public transport stations and vehicles, which temporarily slowed the growth of mechanical parking equipment. Concerns over COVID-19 arena to hinder the growth of the global mechanical parking equipment market share.

• Government lockdowns and social distancing measures caused a 25–30% slowdown in the installation of new mechanical parking systems globally, according to the World Bank’s 2024 urban infrastructure report.
• Despite lower operating costs, mechanical parking systems require upfront capital of $25,000–$50,000 per parking module, according to the National Parking Association (NPA), which can deter smaller developers.
