Global Ambulance Equipment Market, by Equipment Type (Transportation Equipment, Burn Care Equipment, Diagnostic and Infection Control Equipment, Blood and Hemorrhage Control Equipment, Respiratory, Hypothermia, and Cardiac Equipment), by End User (Air Ambulance, Water Ambulance, and Ground Ambulance), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 5,031.7 Million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period (2022-2030), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Numerous ambulance service providers are also focusing on adopting technically advanced ambulance equipment products from the key players, which is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2017, The Ambulance Service of Manchester and Aetna Ambulance installed 50 Stryker Power Pro XT Model 6506 Stretchers, which are battery-powered hydraulic to ensure the comfort and safety for both crews and patients alike.
Global Ambulance Equipment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global ambulance equipment market, owing to its increasing demand for the ambulance services during the Covid-19 period. For instance, in April 2020, according to data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, in emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased need for contact with emergency medical services (EMS), and call volume might surpass capacity. The Copenhagen emergency medical services (EMS) operates two telephone line the 1-1-2 emergency number and the 1813 medical helpline in the U.S. A separate coronavirus support track was implemented on the 1813 medical helpline and a web-based self-triage (web triage) system was created to reduce non-emergency call volume. The Denmark-based emergency medical services (EMS) system is organized into five regions with similar structures serving ambulances, physician staff vehicles and emergency medical dispatch centers (EMDC). The Capital Region of Denmark, Copenhagen, has 1.8 million inhabitants served by the Copenhagen emergency medical services (EMS). The Copenhagen emergency medical services (EMS) is an integrated health care service comprised of an emergency medical dispatch call center, ambulance service and physician- and paramedic-staffed mobile critical care units.
Global Ambulance Equipment Market: Key Developments
In June 2022, Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation (EPR), rapid profound hypothermia, is being pursued in clinical trials, as a revolutionary approach to be the next standard of emergency care to save countless lives when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) fails. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 2,000 people die per day in the U.S. from traumatic exsanguination (bleeding out) resulting from shootings, vehicular accidents, or other serious traumatic injuries, and from other causes of cardiac arrest despite receiving CPR. These numbers are alarming and cardiopulmonary resuscitation appears to be ineffective in most cases. This innovative technology is fasten towards providing service for survival. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved EPR feasibility clinical trial is being performed at Maryland Shock Trauma Center in the U.S. Initially, the technology was developed to help save the lives of fatally injured soldiers on the battlefield. The Army Medical Research and Materiel Command invested $17.5 Million in cooperation with the Safar Center for Resuscitation, University of Pittsburgh, to develop the Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation procedure.
