Why Asansör Istanbul matters to the lift industry
See the vertical-transportation supply chain together
Elevator performance depends on more than the cabin or drive unit: controls, safety components, doors, rails, installation and maintenance all affect how a system fits a building and its operating needs. A specialist fair gives buyers and technical teams a place to view the sector’s product range together and identify where a complete system or an individual component warrants closer evaluation.
Compare solutions for different building uses
Residential, commercial and hospital buildings have distinct movement requirements. Freight and service lifts, home and car lifts, accessibility systems and escalators add other use cases. Visitors can use the event scope to compare options against project conditions rather than treating every vertical-transportation product as interchangeable.
Meet the people behind supply and installation
Component manufacturers and suppliers, lift installers, service companies and other industry professionals are all part of the documented audience. This creates a useful context for discussing specifications, installation needs, product support and potential supplier or project relationships. Conversations are a starting point: technical suitability, certification, service capacity and commercial terms still need independent evaluation.
Published scale of the previous edition
- More than 400 exhibitors across 60,000 m² in 2025, reported by the organizer.
- Professionals from more than 100 countries attended the 2025 edition, as reported by the organizer; this is a country count, not an attendee headcount.
This reported scale points to a broad supplier landscape. It does not guarantee that a particular supplier, product or buyer will be present in 2027, so check the current exhibitor information before setting meetings.

Why exhibit at Asansör Istanbul?
The organizer identifies lift-component manufacturers and suppliers and lift installers as part of the event’s scope. Companies whose products or services serve elevators, escalators, moving walks, accessibility systems or vertical transportation may consider whether the fair aligns with their commercial objectives.
For exhibitors, a useful participation plan starts with a defined product story and a clear set of target conversations. Prepare concise technical information, compatibility details, installation requirements and support arrangements. Potential visitors may include installers, component suppliers, construction and engineering firms, building professionals and inspection bodies, but the 2025 audience profile does not guarantee the presence of any specific company or buyer at the 2027 edition.
- Present lift systems or components to a relevant industry audience.
- Explain where products fit within passenger, freight, service or accessibility applications.
- Discuss compatibility, technical documentation, maintenance and parts support.
- Explore distribution, installation or project relationships that merit further due diligence.
- Use questions from visitors to understand which specifications and service needs matter in their markets.
Before committing, assess local market demand, applicable product conformity requirements, distribution capacity, after-sales service and spare-parts support. Confirm current rules with the relevant authorities and qualified compliance advisers; this guide does not determine product eligibility or certification.
How to prepare before Asansör Istanbul
1. Define the decision you want to make
Choose a concrete goal: compare lift suppliers for an upcoming project, identify component sources, assess accessibility solutions, or review escalator options. Match each goal to the relevant product group so the visit stays focused.
2. Build a target list
Use the organizer’s current exhibitor information when it becomes available. Group target companies into A — essential, B — useful, and C — explore if time allows. The next edition’s list should be checked directly with the organizer rather than assumed from a previous year.
3. Prepare technical questions
- Which building uses and lift types is the system designed for?
- What capacity, speed, travel height or duty conditions does it support?
- Which controls, doors, rails or safety components are compatible?
- What installation clearances and building interfaces are required?
- What technical documents and conformity information are supplied?
- How are maintenance, spare parts and service support handled?
- What options exist for accessibility and different user needs?
- What are the lead times, commercial terms and delivery conditions?
4. Arrange priority conversations
Contact target companies through the organizer’s official channels if you need to discuss a project or product in advance. Set an agenda for each meeting: system requirements, technical fit, documentation, service and a specific next step. ilikevents can help visitors with exhibition planning, registration assistance, travel arrangements and business-meeting coordination.
5. Bring project context
For procurement or engineering discussions, have the relevant building use, project stage, layout constraints, required lift type and decision timeline ready. Share sensitive drawings or specifications only through channels appropriate to your organization.
How to make the most of the exhibition
Use a consistent comparison note for each useful conversation:
Company → product or system → application → technical fit → documentation and support → next action
For example, a project team comparing commercial passenger lifts can record the intended building use, capacity and layout assumptions, proposed controls and doors, available technical documentation, maintenance provision and the question that remains unresolved. This makes supplier discussions easier to evaluate after the fair.
Keep product discovery separate from technical approval. A demonstration or conversation can identify a candidate solution, but specification review, compliance checks, site assessment and commercial due diligence happen through the appropriate project process.
Plan your time realistically
The 2025 edition occupied 60,000 m² according to the organizer, indicating a substantial exhibition footprint. The 2027 layout and exhibitor allocation may differ. Once the current floor plan and exhibitor information are published, map your priority stands and allow time for technical conversations rather than trying to visit every display.
- Before arrival: identify priority companies and group them by lift type, component or project need.
- Early in the day: visit must-see suppliers and confirm whether the right technical contact is available.
- Midday: compare related systems and components, recording key specifications consistently.
- Later: return to promising suppliers with follow-up questions and verify missing documentation.
- At day’s end: sort notes into immediate, potential and market-information follow-ups.
Official visitor hours are 10:00–18:00 from Wednesday through Saturday, with a 17:00 close on Sunday. Confirm the final schedule and access arrangements before travelling.

Elevator and lift-equipment opportunities in Turkey
Market indicators
World Bank WITS reports that Turkey imported US?.9 million of complete lifts and skip hoists (HS 842810) in 2024. This is a product-level import indicator, not the total size of Turkey’s elevator market. WITS also records US?.4 million in imports of parts of lifts, skip hoists and escalators (HS 843131) in 2023. The figures describe two distinct customs categories and periods and should not be combined into a market total.
Potential areas to investigate
- Complete lift systems: the 2024 import value can help lift manufacturers and distributors frame questions about product range, project fit and supply channels. It does not establish a supply gap, future demand or likely sales.
- Lift and escalator components: the 2023 parts-import figure may help component suppliers and buyers identify categories for closer sourcing and distribution research. It does not show which products are currently sought by particular companies.
What this means for exhibitors
International lift-system and component suppliers could use the event to investigate local distribution, installation, service and spare-parts requirements. The import indicators provide context for market research, not evidence of a particular buyer or commercial opportunity. Confirm current product-conformity, import and service requirements with qualified advisers before entering the market.
What this means for visitors
Visitors may use the exhibition to compare elevator and component options against their own projects, then use the published trade indicators as a prompt for further supplier and market due diligence. Technical compatibility, documentation, service availability and commercial terms remain specific to each product and project.
