Global Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) includes transportation services offered to patients and healthcare consumers who face extraordinary barriers getting to their medical appointments.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Non-Emergency Medical Transportation market finds that the global Non-Emergency Medical Transportation market reached a value of USD 8712.0 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 14577.43 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.96% during the forecast period.

The transportation department suffered a huge blow in the COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic disrupted NEMT consumers' ability and desire to arrange trips to hospitals, because most consumers stayed at home for fear of infecting novel coronavirus.

The emergence of COVID-19 also promotes the development of the non-emergency medical transportation market. During the pandemic, the movement has slowed as people shelter in place. Public transportation and paratransit stop or operate at reduced schedules, and family and neighbors become less willing to provide transit. Still, people have to obtain non-emergency but necessary medical care, including kidney dialysis, chemotherapy, and prenatal care visits. These services continue to be needed during a pandemic, especially among the chronically ill, a group that may already face greater transportation barriers than the general public. Therefore, in order to be infected during the epidemic, more and more patients will choose non-emergency medical transportation, which increases the market demand.

Market demand increases

With the aging of the global population, there are more and more patients with chronic diseases. Many people with chronic conditions, which include arthritis, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes, need medical services frequently. The treatment of chronic diseases accounts for most of all health care expenditures, and the survey found that the vast majority of adults aged 55 and above suffer from at least one chronic disease. In addition, with the increase in the global population, the number of adults with serious behavioral health problems is also increasing, and these people will need non-emergency medical transportation to get life-sustaining treatment and medical care services. For those adults with chronic kidney disease, they need dialysis every week. Non-emergency medical transportation is a reliable way to make an appointment, so you can avoid going to the emergency room if you miss your appointment. Therefore, the increase in patients will increase the demand for non-emergency medical transportation.

The imperfect service system

Non-emergency medical transportation services can overlap in some areas and be entirely absent in others. Funding shortfalls, policy and implementation failures, and lack of coordination can leave many who need transportation with few or no options. The result is that many who need transportation to access essential services and to participate in community activities may be left unserved or underserved. Expanding the service field requires multiple sources of funds, and it must conform to the policies and regulations of different regions. Therefore, how to expand the service field has become a challenge for the non-emergency medical transportation industry.
