The global ambulance services market is envisioned to garner $94.2 billion by 2031, growing from $40.6 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2022 to 2031.
The increased use of commercial and personal automobiles has resulted in an increase in the frequency of accidents. Accidents frequently necessitate emergency hospitalization for medical care and assistance. As a result, patients require ambulance transportation to and from hospitals. In terms of road traffic accidents, the U.S. is one of the busiest countries in the world. Every year, around 10 million vehicle accidents occur in the U.S. Every year, between 2 million to 4 million of these drivers have lifelong injuries.
However, there are some limits to this mode of transportation that should be addressed while making patient care decisions. These constraints include the requirement for specialized equipment and skilled medical personnel, the cost of deploying an air ambulance, the possibility that air ambulances may be unable to fly in bad weather, and the absence of modern tracking systems.
Improving healthcare reforms in many regional markets such as the U.S., Japan, and China have boosted population life expectancy. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the worldwide geriatric population was about 524 million in 2010 and is predicted to reach around 2 billion by 2050. As a result, the growing senior population is projected to increase demand for ambulance services, as the elderly are more vulnerable to illnesses and infections. The older population is also prone to physical limitations such as immobility, which is projected to increase demand for ambulance services for regular transportation to hospitals for medical care.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a substantial influence on the ambulance services industry due to the increased demand for ambulance services to offer emergency care to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. According to a BMJ Journal article, hospitals and ambulance service in England declared major events and issued warnings about 12-hour patient wait times in emergency departments for around 10,000 patients in November 2021 owing to intense workloads and a substantial number of staff absences.
