Smart Ambulance Market Insights
The global smart ambulance market is estimated to witness a significant growth of CAGR 9.5% during the forecast period (2020-2026). With the exponential increase in population, related lifestyle disorders, the number of accidents and surgeries, the demand for many types of smart technology or IoT based technology in the medical field has become a necessity. One such example for quick and efficient emergency medical service is the introduction of smart ambulance systems. A smart ambulance with traffic control system will clear the traffic jam by turning all the red lights to green on the path of the smart ambulance, hence helping in clearing the traffic and reaching its destination faster. Smart ambulance system will also be able to track and send data of location of the vehicle to the hospital control room, for constant doctor-paramedic contact to share the patient’s vital signs and health condition using 5G technology/GSM system and cloud server for data storage. Furthermore, smart patient identification sensor will be embedded in the stretcher for acquiring patient medical records and relative information. In addition, ambulance GPS tracking system for tracking the ambulance during the traffic jam, road block, and road construction will be a major advancement in the smart ambulance systems. Hence this market will grow exponentially during the forecast period owing to rising preference for emergency medical services in the smart ambulance system over the care given after reaching the hospital, increasing integration of IoT with healthcare services and devices, rising number of acute to severe road accidents leading to the need of access of immediate advanced treatment and shifting focus of emergency medical services from manual to automatic system. Other factors that add fuel to the growth are the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, increasing geriatric patient population in Asian countries, increase in the number of road accidents, and high prevalence of COVID-19 cases which need immediate transport to hospital in an ambulance; which is equipped with respiratory and hypothermia devices, vital sign monitors, and patient identification detector/sensor.
Smart Ambulance Market Size: By Component
On the basis of component the market is segmented into ambulance GPS tracking system, ambulance real-time diagnosis system, intelligent traffic controlling system for smart ambulance, GSM system, sensors buzzers/alarms, communication devices, smart stretchers, data base applications/ user interface, micro controller, ADC and amplifier. The sensors segment is further defined as patient monitoring sensors/vital sign monitors and biometric sensors. Also, the communication devices are further sub segmented into proctoring devices/ LCD displays, monitors, tablets & mobiles. The intelligent traffic controlling system for smart ambulance will register the fastest growth in the market during the forecast period. This is attributed to increasing cases of road accidents especially in developing countries, and rising awareness regarding quick first aid service to victim/patient in amidst of any accident.
Smart Ambulance Market Size: By Type of Service
On the basis of services, the market is segmented into two groups, namely Basic Life Support Ambulance Services (BLS) and Advanced Life Support Ambulance Services (ALS). The ALS services segment is expected to witness rapid growth owing to rising awareness about life support services, high incidence of cardiovascular disorders, and rising preference for equipped smart ambulance systems that include intelligent smart health system using some sensors and microcontrollers, advanced communication devices for real time data sharing of the victim/patient, and trained professionals for emergency medical/care services.
Smart Ambulance Market Size: By Application
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into transportation equipment, burn care equipment, diagnostic and infection control equipment, blood and haemorrhage control equipment, cardiac equipment, respiratory and hypothermia equipment and others. Blood and haemorrhage control equipment will hold the highest share in the market mainly due to high number of road accidents and surgeries which causes heavy bleeding.
Smart Ambulance Market Size: By Type of Ambulance Vehicle
On the basis of type of ambulance vehicle, the market is segmented into vans, cars and other vehicle type. The vans type ambulance vehicle segment is expected to dominate the market owning to high availability of van type vehicles, considering the advantages such as huge space area for smart equipment to be installed, and on-the-way support to the patient’s health monitoring.
Smart Ambulance Market Size: By End User
On the basis of end user, the market is divided into hospitals, emergency centers, and others. The hospitals segment is expected to dominate the market. Road accidents victims need immediate medical attention and necessary smart ambulance equipment, ambulance services and advanced/smart ambulance systems, to transport the casualties to hospitals. These hospitals provide emergency medical services for patients which get admitted for diagnostic and infection care, blood loss care, cardiac care, respiratory and hypothermia care.
Global Smart Ambulance Market: By Region
Based on the region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa and Central & South America. North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to high purchasing power of smart ambulance systems, availability of high end and prompt traffic and trauma control systems for smart ambulance, well-established healthcare infrastructure (hospitals and smart ambulance), presence of several key market players in this region, growing demand for high-quality healthcare services clubbed with internet of things (IoT), and favourable reimbursement policies. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Medical tourism will be an opportunity for introducing smart ambulance systems considering the rising rate of geriatric patient population, cardiac patients, and rising number of road accidents.
