The ground ambulance segment dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 59% in 2023, owing to several advantages of ground ambulances over water and air ambulance which include, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, stability and safety, no need for landing zones or ports, and flexible routes. Ground ambulance includes motorcycle, bus, all-terrain vehicles, car/SUV, and bicycle,. Ground ambulances are used to move patients from the location of a medical emergency or accident to a hospital to receive further evaluation and medical care. They are a critical component of the emergency medical services (EMS) system and act as a bridge between the emergency site and the medical facility.
The air ambulance segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate of a CAGR of 9.76% over the forecast period. Air ambulances offer several important benefits in emergency medical situations, particularly when time and distance are critical factors. Some of the key advantages of air ambulances include rapid response and time-saving, long-distance transportation, access to remote areas, avoiding road traffic and congestion, and advanced medical equipment.
The emergency services segment dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 69% in 2023. The growth of the emergency services segment can be attributed to the prevalence of various chronic disorders, particularly cardiovascular disease. Emergency ambulance services are designed to respond to critical medical situations where immediate medical attention is required. These ambulances are equipped with advanced medical equipment and staffed with trained paramedics or Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who can provide life-saving interventions and stabilize patients during transportation. Emergency ambulance services are dispatched in response to emergency helpline calls for medical emergencies such as heart attacks, severe injuries, strokes, respiratory distress, and other life-threatening conditions. The primary goal of emergency ambulance services is to transport patients quickly to the nearest appropriate medical facility for emergency care.
Nonemergency ambulance services are expected to witness a growth rate of a CAGR 8.69% during the forecast period. Non-emergency ambulance services are used for patients who require transportation to medical facilities but are not in critical condition and do not need immediate medical intervention. These ambulances are often used for scheduled medical appointments, inter-hospital transfers, outpatient procedures, or when a patient needs transportation to a medical facility and cannot use other means of transport due to their medical condition or mobility challenges.
The Advance Life Support (ALS) ambulance services segment dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 69% in 2023. This ambulance provides a higher level of medical care and intervention compared to Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances. ALS ambulances are equipped with advanced medical equipment and staffed with highly trained healthcare professionals, typically Paramedics or Advanced EMTs (AEMTs). These ambulances are dispatched in response to critical medical emergencies where patients require advanced medical care during transportation to the hospital. Furthermore increase in number of people suffering from cardiac arrest is expected to contribute to the segment growth. For instance, according to Singapore heart foundation, over 3,000 people in Singapore have sudden cardiac arrest each year, with more than 80% taking place in homes and public places.
The basic life support (BLS) is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.57% from 2024 to 2033. BLS ambulances are a type of emergency medical transportation that provides essential medical care and support to patients in non-critical conditions or stable medical situations. BLS ambulances are typically the first responders to medical emergencies and play a vital role in providing initial care and transportation to medical facilities. Key features of basic life support (BSS) ambulances include, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), basic medical equipment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), oxygen administration and others.
