The global patient transportation market is poised for significant growth, with an estimated value of USD 22,035.5 million in 2024. Projections indicate that the market will expand to USD 37,639.9 million by 2034, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during the forecast period.
In 2023, the revenue generated by non-emergency patient transportation services reached USD 20,886.8 million, underscoring the essential role of these services in healthcare delivery. The industry is anticipated to maintain a steady year-over-year growth rate of 5.5% in 2024, driven by increasing demand for efficient and reliable transportation solutions for patients with non-urgent medical needs.
Key factors contributing to the market’s growth include the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an aging population, and the growing emphasis on patient-centered care. As healthcare providers and facilities focus on improving patient experience and outcomes, the demand for specialized patient transportation services continues to rise.
This upward trend presents numerous opportunities for service providers to innovate and enhance their offerings, ensuring that patients receive timely and comfortable transportation to and from healthcare facilities.
Because of efficiency in the management of critical care and long-term care patients in mobility, positioning, and transfer, sales in the market are expected to grow. Apart from that, chronically ill patients are given alternatives for transportation to and from medical facilities. These instances are provisional, based on reimbursements for patient transportation equipment capabilities, as determined by the patient’s insurance coverage, or government-funded initiatives.
The market for patient transportation is likely to gain traction, especially with the high prevalence of chronic diseases, high volumes of trauma-related cases, and disabilities. In cases where bariatric and diabetic patients require caregiver assistance for mobility, patient transportation solutions provide assistance.
To offer a diverse product range, manufacturers in the patient transportation market are developing products which are engineered as per disease indication. Key competitors have maintained a leading position in the market by integrating smart technologies into existing product offerings.
Several firms are also promoting equipment sales through integration and collaboration with medical service providers, such as hospitals, which in turn is expected to boost sales in the market over the forecast period.
“Rising availability of indication-specific patient transportation solutions, along with the integration of connective technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT in beds and chairs will push sales in the market in the forthcoming years,” says an FMI analyst.
