According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Air Ambulance Services Market is accounted for $6.64 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $13.54 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period. Air ambulances are specialised aircraft that are designed to provide air medical Services in emergency situations where land-based medical assistance takes time to arrive. Air ambulances are aircraft and helicopters that are equipped with all medical facilities and are designed to provide medical assistance in remote areas where road-based ambulance services are inaccessible.

Global emergency medical services (EMS) have advanced sufficiently to contribute significantly to the overall functioning of the healthcare system. The World Health Organization regards the EMS system as an essential component of a well-functioning healthcare system. Demand for ambulance services is being driven by an increase in the number of accidents, the introduction of new ambulances equipped with cutting-edge technology that addresses primary healthcare needs, and favourable reimbursement policies.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing Rates of Trauma, Stroke, and Heart Attacks

Air ambulance Services are increasingly being used to transport patients who have suffered a stroke, heart attack and traumatic incident that necessitates time-sensitive therapies in a critical care centre. Many cases of trauma, stroke, and heart attacks necessitate time-sensitive medical or surgical intervention. For example, rapid restoration of blood flow to the brain via an emergency IV Injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator or an endovascular procedure is critical for treating ischemic stroke, which can be efficiently provided via air ambulance services at various locations. The above factors drive the Air Ambulance Service Market growth in a positive manner.

Restraint:

The High Cost of Air Medical Services and Reimbursement Issues

The costs of air ambulance services are significantly higher than those of ground ambulance services. Although some level of coverage for air ambulance Services is available in the United States through government and private health insurance, reimbursement rates are quite low when compared to the billing of air medical Services providers. Medicare and Medicaid cover approximately 60% and 34% of the average air medical transport cost, respectively, leaving patients with significant out-of-pocket expenses in many cases.

Opportunity:

Rapid Technological Advancements

Heart monitors, ventilators, and defibrillators are a few of the cutting-edge medical devices and accessories that air ambulances are outfitted with to provide patients with immediate emergency medical care services. Advances in air ambulance communication technologies enable real-time data on patients' health to be sent to hospital experts, allowing doctors to plan for an emergency ahead of time. Medical equipment and aircraft advancements provide proper medical treatment to patients in a timely manner.

Threat:

Lack of Healthcare Infrastructure

In developing countries, there is a lack of proper health care facilities. Health centres are located far from villages and are seen in small numbers. The high cost of healthcare, especially high out-of-pocket patient costs, is a well-documented barrier to care access. When patients cannot afford medical care or must choose between medical care and other necessities such as rent, mortgage, or food, they frequently go without healthcare access they may not be ready for Air Ambulance Services which are highly expensive and those nations cannot afford the infrastructure as well.

Covid-19 Impact

Because of COVID-19, air ambulance services providers had to update their equipment to comply with new safety guidelines. The market's key players are updating their Services to combat the effects of COVID-19. To transport COVID-19 patients, ACE Air & Ambulance (Pvt) Ltd, an internationally accredited air ambulance operator, purchased specialised isolation chamber (ISO-Chamber) equipment. This will expand their ability to transport infectious disease patients in the future, which helps in growth of the market.

The Rotary Wing segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The rotary-wing segment had the largest market share. The primary benefits of helicopter-based air ambulance Services are their low cost and quick response time. Helicopters assist patients in emergencies, particularly when a quick response is required. Helicopters can land almost anywhere, including roads, parks, fields, congested urban areas, and paved areas, making them an excellent substitute for ground ambulances. However, they have a limited operating range due to their low fuel capacity.

The Organ Transplant Logistics Segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the organ transplant logistics segment is expected to have highest CAGR growth. The procedure of organ transplant requires several medical conditions to be compatible for both the donor and the recipient, which is why finding a proper match for an organ transplant is difficult and hampered by the inability to transfer organs on time. Air ambulances are perfectly safe for transporting delicate organs like kidneys and livers.

Region with highest share:

North America dominated the market and is expected to hold the largest share in the forecast period. North America has the most air ambulance services providers, as well as the infrastructure required for air medical transportation. Furthermore, the presence of favourable reimbursement policies and the well-developed healthcare infrastructure is expected to propel market growth in the coming years.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific market is expected to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to rapidly growing medical tourism industry in these countries can be attributed to the region's increased demand for air ambulance Services.
