Emergency Ambulance Vehicle Market Overview


Emergency ambulance vehicles, also known simply as ambulances, are used to provide care to patients with an injury or acute illness. These vehicles can be vans, cars, motorcycles, golf carts, and special vehicles. Moreover, these vehicles help paramedics or trained medical staff provide emergency care and patient transfer services.


COVID-19 Impact on the Emergency Ambulance Vehicles Market:


With the continuous spread of the novel coronavirus across the world, automakers are taking extreme measures in the form of plant closures to halt the spread of COVID-19. The growing spread of coronavirus leads to disruption in the markets. Restrictions to shipping and industrial production are affecting multiple supply chains. Distribution of components is the key process in manufacturing industries, which is facing challenges such as staffing of warehouses, a need for direct distribution, and more intelligent and responsive allocation across channels due to the pandemic which led to pressure on supply chains. The impact on the US and Europe from the disruptions will be significant, which will have a huge effect on the world economy and badly disrupt global supply chains severely impacting the global demand for emergency ambulance vehicles market globally.


Emergency Ambulance Vehicle Market Dynamics


Drivers




  • Road Accident Deaths




  • Growing aging population




The growing aging population across the globe and a high inclination of such people toward the use of emergency ambulance vehicles will accentuate the industry expansion. For instance, as per the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the population aged over 60 years and above is projected to grow by 56%, from 901 million to around 1.4 billion between 2015 and 2030. Moreover, by 2050, the global population of old persons is estimated to be more than double its size compared to 2015, reaching nearly 2.1 billion. The global aging population is substantially driving the recent surge in healthcare services. The technological progression and advancements in the healthcare sector have significantly improved the life expectancy among individuals worldwide. The increasing population of aging individuals propels the use of emergency ambulance vehicles, which leads to market growth. Thus, the impact of the growing aging population is expected to shift from moderate to high during the forecast period.


Restraints




  • High cost associated with the vehicle




The manufacturing and monitoring of emergency ambulance vehicle are expensive and has complex operations as it features a larger number of accessories such as ECG monitor and a defibrillator, transport ventilators, infusion syringe pumps, oxygen supply units, and other accessories that are used for a patient needing emergency medical attention. The operational cost of emergency ambulance vehicle system depends on various factors such as advanced technology and vehicle type. The working operations of emergency ambulance vehicle are expensive owing to the high investment and repair & maintenance costs involved in the generation of advanced technology. For instance, vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can add an extra cost ranging from USD 3,000 to USD 5,000 to the repair bill after a crash due to pricey sensors and their calibration requirements. Moreover, the production and safety concerns regarding technology development also hinder the growth of the emergency ambulance vehicle systems. Additionally, the sensors used for steering, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control systems cost around USD 500 to USD 1,500. Furthermore, the components and materials used in the driver assistance technology systems must be selected as per international standards such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This leads to an increase in the cost of high-quality raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of emergency ambulance vehicle. All these factors are expected to add to the cost of the emergency ambulance vehicle. Therefore, the high cost associated with the vehicle forms a restraint to the growth of the global emergency ambulance vehicle market during the forecast period.


Opportunities




  • Growth in the healthcare industry




An emergency ambulance vehicle is highly utilized by the healthcare industry and, thus, the growth of the healthcare industry results in an increased demand for emergency ambulance vehicles. Such vehicles are primarily used in the healthcare industry to save lives on the go when an emergency strikes, and the hospital is too far. The growing demand for emergency ambulance vehicles from the healthcare industry has been influential in fuelling the overall growth of emergency ambulance vehicle. The rising demand from the healthcare industry and the active utilization of healthcare emergency services are expected to boost the global emergency ambulance vehicle market. The growth in medical tourism across the world is another major reason for healthcare industry growth. The growth of the healthcare industry is also attributed to the rising import and export of ambulance equipment, across the world. This is likely to drive the demand for emergency ambulance vehicles in the healthcare industry in the coming years. Thus, the growth in the healthcare industry is expected to create growth opportunities for the global emergency ambulance vehicle market during the study period.
