High Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Emergence of Covid-19 to Augment Growth of Ambulance Equipment Market
Ambulance
equipment are essential for the survival of patients. The most common ambulance
service equipment include the resuscitation apparatus, the backboard, the
stretcher and the lightweight oxygen concentrator. All of these items are
crucial to saving the life of a patient, but the most critical among these is
the life-saving airway pressure system, or the AED. This system is used to pump
air into the lungs of the victim. All of these pieces of equipment are also
commonly used by other emergency medical services and can be found on other
medical vehicles such as the ambulance, combat vehicles, and hazardous vehicle
response vehicles.
Market Dynamics
High
prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel growth of the ambulance
equipment market. For instance, according to the study, “Global and
regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and
2045: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th
edition”, published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, in
September 2019, 463 million people are expected to suffer from diabetes in 2019
worldwide and the number is expected to reach 578 million by 2030 and 700
million by 2045. Moreover, increasing geriatric population is also expected to
aid in growth of the market. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,
the U.S. geriatric population is expected to reach 77 million by 2034.
Emergence
of Covid-19 is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in
the ambulance equipment market. For instance, globally, as of 4:45pm CET, 7

including 2,302,302 deaths, as reported to the World Health Organization.
Moreover, increasing number of accidents is also expected to aid in growth of
the market. For instance, according to National Crime Records Bureau, India, the
rate of deaths per thousand vehicles in 2019 increased to 0.61 in 2019. 437,396
road accidents caused 154,732 deaths and injuries to 439,262 persons during
2019.
