Ambulance Services Market Dynamics
The global ambulance services market growth is driven by an increasing number of road accidents, favorable reimbursement policies, and the geriatric population which is causing the rise in the incidence of chronic diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
The increasing number of accidents will drive the market growth
Road accidents are found to be the leading cause of death from injuries and are also the tenth leading cause of death worldwide as they now form a surprisingly significant fragment of the burden on the sick world. An estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road accidents every year, and an estimated 50 million are injured, receiving 30 to 70% of bone marrow transplants in developing countries. With increasing risks, there are also effective emergency services that lead to the timely intervention of accident victims or patients suffering from chronic illness. These timely services play an important role in healthcare. In addition, the growing number of road accidents that require urgent medical attention is increasing the market share for ambulance services.
The market players have devised a number of business strategies, such as strategic agreements, technological advances, and partnerships, to survive in the market. For example, in June 2020, Mahindra announced the launch of a BS-6 Supro ambulance equipped with a foldable trolley, medical supplies, air-conditioning system, advertising system, and indoor lighting. In addition, the growing popularity of air ambulance services and a large number of private insurance patients are also expected to improve this market in the forecast period.
The high cost of air ambulances will hamper the growth of the market
However, the high cost of air ambulances and stringent regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may hinder the market growth.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on the ambulance services market. The growing demand for ambulance services to provide emergency care services to COVID-19 patients during the epidemic is driving the expansion of the market. The market is expected to continue its growth even if the crisis has stabilized. The COVID-19 wave has had a huge impact on the air ambulance business. The operators need to be more careful to ensure that patients do not contract the virus as the chances of them getting infected are higher with their critical conditions. This increases the time of preparing the aircraft for the transfers, and thus, requires faster action than before. This brings a burden and additional expense to the staff and the companies.
Ambulance Services Market Segment Analysis
The air ambulance segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2029)
Air ambulances are ambulance services that are vital for transportation in case of medical emergencies. Air ambulances are armed with medical equipment and medical staff that offer medical care in flight, while non-medically equipped and staffed aircraft assist in transporting patients and organs. These services offer various benefits, such as convenience, flexibility, and safety. The increasing burden of chronic diseases like cardiac arrests and other emergencies is boosting the segment growth. The launch of new services is a key factor in the growth of the market. For instance, in September 2020, Karnataka, India, launched the country's first integrated air ambulance service jointly launched by the International Critical Air Transfer Team (ICATT) and the Kyathi in the city.
In April 2019, Air Methods announced the expansion of its partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The company’s services may be part of its in-network health coverage benefits in six states in the United States. Under the terms of the partnership, Anthem-affiliated health plan members in California, Georgia, Nevada, Colorado, Virginia, and New York may receive Air Methods’ critical care air services at discounted in-network rates.

In the United States, Medicare covers both emergency and non-emergency ambulance services if it is considered medically necessary and the supplier fulfills Medicare ambulance requirements.
