Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are an important part of overall healthcare system, as they save lives by providing care immediately. Global emergency medical services have advanced technically and contribute widely to overall function of health care systems. The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to EMS systems as an integral part of any effective and functional health care system. Emergency medical equipment facilitates patient care during medical emergencies such as accidents and natural calamities, helps prevent loss of life, and minimizes personal injuries. These equipment vary from basic stretchers to complex equipment used in intensive care units and operation theaters. Growing need for emergency medical services due to increasing geriatric population and rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and infectious diseases are expected to drive the global emergency medical equipment market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, rising incidence of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, etc. and increasing incidence of trauma injuries are some other factors propelling demand for emergency medical equipment.

Global emergency medical equipment market is estimated to be valued at US$ 23.82 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.3 % during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Increasing demand for emergency care is expected to drive the emergency medical equipment market growth.

Increasing medical emergency cases due to rise in health problems such as heart attacks, breathing disorders, coupled with other elderly associated emergencies, and rising incidences of trauma injuries are the major factors driving the global emergency medical equipment market growth. Trauma injury is the leading cause of mortality and hospitalization worldwide. For instance, on March 19, 2021, WHO stated that each year, 4.4 million individuals worldwide lose their lives to injuries, both deliberate and due to violence, which accounts for roughly 8% of all fatalities. Three of the top five causes of mortality for people aged 5 to 29 are injury-related, including fatal car accidents, homicide, and suicide. An estimated 10% of all years spent with a disability are attributable to trauma injuries. The economic burden of injuries and violence is enormous. It costs nations billions of dollars in medical expenses, lost productivity, and law enforcement every year. The accomplishment of various Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets will be made easier by preventing injuries and violent crime.
