Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Vehicle Market Report 2025

The emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.61 billion in 2024 to $6.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth observed during the historical period can be credited to the increasing rates of road accidents, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the expanding geriatric population, the development of urban healthcare infrastructure, and government funding in public health.

The emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by the growing demand for emergency response vehicles, heightened emphasis on disaster preparedness, increased investments in healthcare infrastructure, expansion of air and water ambulance services, and the rise of global health emergencies and pandemics. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of electric ambulances, the expansion of telemedicine-enabled ambulances, the use of modular ambulance designs, advancements in autonomous emergency vehicles, and greater customization to meet specific medical requirements.

The increasing number of road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle market in the coming years. This rise in accidents is largely attributed to the growing use of smartphones while driving, which significantly distracts drivers and slows their reaction times, increasing the chances of collisions and serious injuries. EMS vehicles are crucial in such incidents as they provide rapid on-site medical care, stabilize patients, and ensure quick transportation to healthcare facilities, greatly enhancing survival and recovery rates. For example, in November 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that motor vehicle accidents in the United States resulted in costs exceeding $470 billion in 2022, including medical expenses and economic losses from fatalities. That year, nearly 44,000 deaths and over 2.6 million emergency room visits were attributed to crash-related injuries. Consequently, the increasing incidence of trauma and road accidents is expected to fuel the expansion of the emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle market.

Key players in the emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions to enhance patient care and operational efficiency. High-quality medical transportation solutions consist of specialized vehicles equipped with sophisticated medical devices, technology, and features designed to provide timely, safe, and effective care during patient transport. For instance, in July 2024, Pinnacle Industries Limited, an India-based manufacturer of emergency vehicles, launched the AD-Gen Ambulance, a semi-premium model featuring integrated life-support equipment such as defibrillators, ventilators, electric suction pumps, and infusion pumps. It also includes modern IT solutions such as an electronic patient care record (ePCR) tablet, real-time GPS navigation with traffic updates, RFID tracking, and a vehicle tracking and management system (VTMS) to enhance patient care and fleet management. Engineered to meet stringent regulatory standards while remaining cost-effective, this vehicle aims to improve emergency medical transport services across India.

In June 2025, JiuGe Technology, a technology company based in China, collaborated with Zhejiang Jincheng Automotive to jointly develop next-generation emergency response vehicles.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.

Emergency medical services (EMS) vehicles are specialized transport units designed to facilitate the rapid response and mobility of trained medical personnel during critical situations. These vehicles are equipped with structural and operational features that ensure quick access, safe movement, and effective support in emergency settings.

The primary types of emergency medical services (EMS) vehicles include ambulances, rescue vehicles, and patient transport vehicles. Ambulances are specialized emergency vehicles intended to provide immediate medical care and transport patients to healthcare facilities. They offer both basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) and come in various transportation modes, including air-based, ground-based, and water-based. They are used for cardiovascular disorders, trauma or wound care, respiratory assistance, oncology, and other conditions, serving multiple end-users such as government EMS providers, private ambulance services, hospital-based EMS, non-profit organizations, and civil defense units.
