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.
The key players profiled in this report include Babcock International Group PLC, Acadian Ambulance Service, BVG India, Falck A/S, Ziqitza HealthCare, Air Methods, Harmonie Ambulance, Envision Healthcare, Medivic Aviation, and Aeromedevac Air Ambulance.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Ambulance Services Market," the ambulance services market was valued at $40.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $94.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2022 to 2031.Ambulances often transport patients to hospitals. Ambulances are driven by specially trained individuals known as emergency medical technicians, or EMTs. They provide emergency medical care to ill or injured persons before they get to the hospital. Many different types of equipment are used in ambulances to transport and treat patients. They are employed in emergency and non-emergency situations, and they work in conjunction with patient care tools such as basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS).
Key factors driving the growth of the ambulance services market include a growing number of accidents and improved senior population care services. The rising use of commercial and personal automobiles has increased 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. In 2015-2016, around 6,800 people died and 18,000 were wounded in drunk driving incidents in India, according to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH). Thus, an increase in the number of accidents is expected to boost the ambulance services market. All these factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The advent of multi-specialty ambulances, which are outfitted with cutting-edge instruments and technology to provide patients with quick and high-quality care, is another important growth element. Air ambulances are also used by many healthcare facilities to transport patients with infectious diseases and life-threatening situations, which increases patient safety, comfort, and flexibility. During the projected period, the adoption of supportive government policies to promote public health as well as major advancements in healthcare infrastructure are anticipated to fuel market expansion for ambulance services globally.
The sector of basic life support (BLS) accounts for a sizable portion of the global ambulance services industry. During the projection period, the industry is expected to increase at a modest rate. In BLS ambulances, emergency medical practitioners and partially trained workers offer medical services. Patients with complicated fractures, medical or surgical patients, patients being released home or to subacute care institutions, and mental patients are typically served by BLS ambulance services. As the number of operations increases across the world, BLS ambulance services may be required to transfer patients from hospitals to homes and vice versa. All these advancements in the ambulance services sector are projected to provide growth opportunities for the key players operating in the market in the coming years.
The ambulance services market is segmented into the mode of transportation, service type, emergency ground ambulance, operating type, and region. As per the mode of transportation, the market is classified into air ambulance, ground ambulance, and water ambulance. According to service type, it is divided into emergency medical transport and non-emergency medical transport. Depending on emergency ground ambulance, it is classified into basic life support ambulance, and advance life support ambulance. On the basis of operating type, it is classified into public private partnership, government, private, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA).
