In the North Caucasus Federal District, 20% of elevators in apartment buildings require urgent replacement

According to a study by Strategy Partners, at the beginning of 2025, 20% of elevators (2,800 out of 10,700) in the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) had reached the end of their service life.

The problem is most acute in Dagestan (29% of elevators require replacement) and Karachay-Cherkessia (39%). Ingushetia is in the best position: all 246 elevators meet safety requirements.

The departure of Western manufacturers and service companies has created problems with the supply of spare parts, which are currently being addressed through parallel imports from China, Turkey, and the EAEU.

In 2025, 20,000 elevators are planned to be replaced across Russia, and by 2030, this figure will increase to 25,000 units.
