It also reported that every year approximately 40,000 deaths are expected to take place due to stroke in the U.K. CVD is among the leading causes of death in the world and usually requires immediate medical attention, which increases the need for ambulance services. Therefore, the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to bolster the growth of the market. The presence of a large population pool over 60 years, which typically has a lower immunity level and is prone to neurological diseases, cardiac problems, cancer, and spinal injuries, is also expected to be a high impact rendering driver for the growth of the market over the forecast period.
For instance, according to United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, by 2050, approximately 1 in every 6 people in the world are expected to be over 65 years of age. Moreover, as per a similar source, there were 703 million people who were above 65 years of age globally. Hence, the increasing geriatric population is likely to result in the growth of the market. Medical tourism is also rising due to developments in healthcare infrastructure and advanced reimbursement policies. For instance, as per The American Journal of Medicine, the number of medical tourist to all countries were expected to be 14-16 million in 2017. Moreover, according to a similar source, the number of U.S. medical tourists & number of medical tourists in the world is expected to increase by around 25% every year.
Furthermore, as to the Consulate General of India, India has emerged as top 6 medical tourism site globally in recent years. Therefore, due to the growth of medical tourism, ambulance services may be required in the travel destination to transport patients to their venue of treatment. This is expected to boost market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the use of ambulance services. For instance, as per Quartz India, Accretion Aviation witnessed a growth of 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with a decline in the number of COVID-19 patients, the need for ambulance service is anticipated to reduce, thereby the market is expected to foresee a slightly negative impact in the year 2022-2023.
Even though the market declined, it is anticipated to witness a significant growth rate over the coming years. This can be attributed to the increase in a number of ambulances during the COVID-19 period. For instance, according to the Mint, Ziqitza Healthcare was going to provide 200 additional ambulances to the Madhya Pradesh government during the time of COVID-19. Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to be responsible for the growth of the market.
