The patient transport services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $36.37 billion in 2023 to $40.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including demographic shifts, challenges in healthcare access, the integration of emergency medical services (EMS), government healthcare policies, and strategic partnerships with healthcare providers. These elements collectively contributed to the growth and evolution of patient transport services during that period.
The patient transport services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $59.5 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. Several major trends are projected for this forecast period, such as the integration of telemedicine into patient transport services, the modernization of transport fleets, the expansion of community-based services, a shift towards personalized patient care, and the utilization of data-driven logistics to optimize operations and enhance service delivery.
The expected surge in patient transport services is driven by the escalating frequency of road accidents. These incidents involve vehicle-related mishaps on public roads resulting in injuries or fatalities, necessitating urgent medical transport. Individuals with non-life-threatening injuries or in need of immediate medical attention post-accident require emergency medical transport. Moreover, those necessitating continued care or rehabilitation due to accident-related injuries also rely on medical transportation. For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported an estimated 20,175 fatalities from road car accidents in the first half of 2022 in the U.S., marking a 0.5% rise from 2021. Similarly, 42,915 deaths occurred on American roadways in 2019, showing a 10.5% increase from 2020, signifying the role of rising road accidents in driving the patient transport services market.
The growth trajectory of patient transport services is anticipated to be bolstered by the expanding geriatric population. This demographic, encompassing individuals aged 65 years or older, typically requires specific healthcare services and social support tied to the aging process. Patient transport services play a crucial role in providing efficient transportation solutions, facilitating enhanced access to healthcare facilities for this aging segment. The World Health Organization projected a global population of around 1.4 billion individuals aged 60 years or older by 2022, up from 1 billion in 2020. With estimates suggesting that one out of every six individuals worldwide will be aged 60 years or older by 2030, the burgeoning geriatric population significantly drives the growth of patient transport services.
Innovation emerges as a pivotal trend within the patient transport services market, with leading companies striving to introduce novel products to fortify their market standing. For instance, Technimount Medical, a Canada-based emergency medical services provider, introduced the Techni-Track and Techni-Clamp under its THS product line in June 2022. These innovations, equipped with Descending technology, facilitate easier height adjustments and IV bag installations and enable quick installation of pumps and medical devices, underscoring the significance of product innovation in driving the patient transport services market.
Major players in the patient transport services arena are embracing strategic partnerships to expand their service offerings. This collaborative approach involves companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual growth. For instance, Advantus Health Partners, a U.S.-based healthcare solutions provider specializing in supply chain management and medical logistics, partnered with HHS in May 2023. This strategic alliance aims to optimize transportation logistics, enhance patient outcomes, and foster a patient-centric approach. The collaboration, supported by an eight-year, $1.2 billion agreement, is poised to significantly contribute to the growth of the healthcare transportation services market.
