Emergency Medical Services Products Market Overview:

The Emergency Medical Services Products Market size is estimated to reach $38.3 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period 2024-2030. The growth of EMS Products Market is due to the rising population that requires quick assistance in matters concerning their health. The increase in the number of accidents, trauma cases and growing prevalence of chronic diseases especially among the elderly are demanding products from the EMS that will help save lives within shortest time possible.

A major trend in the market in telemedicine. The integration of telemedicine into EMS allows for remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and real-time data sharing, improving patient care and reducing response times. Another trend in the market is the increasing focus on health leading to a number of devices such as pulse oximeters, bp monitors etc at home. When an unusual reading is spotted, the patient can call emergency medical services leading to better outcomes. The American Heart Association conducted a poll in association with by Elevance Health Foundation. The survey participants, patients with high blood pressure at clinics in under-resourced areas throughout the U.S., were provided with blood pressure kits to monitor their blood pressure at home as part of the Building Healthier, Safer Communities Together initiative supported. About 88% of the participants said that they planned to check their blood pressure levels at least once daily, and 64% of the respondents said they believe that monitoring their blood pressure at home will help to improve their overall health.

Emergency Medical Services Products Market - Report Coverage:

The “Emergency Medical Services Products Market Report - Forecast (2024-2030)” by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments in the Emergency Medical Services Products Market.

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis: 

• The outbreak of COVID-19 strained the emergency medical services EMS market. Hospitals were at their breaking point and EMS staff were in constant need. The immediate need for ventilators, masks and testing kits soared where patient management strategies had to be advanced rapidly. Due to the supply chain issues, most of the EMS products were in low supply especially in the initial days of the pandemic.
• The Russia-Ukraine war affected the supply chains, leaving some without the critical equipment they needed. Due to high costs, it was difficult to source medical necessities since health facilities had less funding to spend on such products.

Key Takeaways:

APAC Leads the Market:

The APAC region held a major market share of 37% in 2023 due to pressing public health concerns, particularly road accidents and pollution-related illnesses. According to the Asian Development Bank, Asia and the Pacific record 645,000 road accident fatalities annually, with nearly 3.5 million deaths in the past five years. This high incidence of accidents, coupled with the rising burden of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases caused by severe air pollution in countries like India, China, Bangladesh and Pakistan is driving demand for reliable EMS products. Healthcare systems are struggling to cope, leading governments and healthcare providers to invest heavily in EMS infrastructure. This urgent need for advanced EMS products, faster response times, and well-equipped ambulances is propelling the rapid market growth in Asia-Pacific.

Respiratory Care is the Fastest Growing

The segment of respiratory care in the Emergency Medical Services Products Market is the fastest growing, this growth can be attributable to the increasing frequencies of respiratory diseases associated with pollution. As noted by the World Bank, small particulate matter (PM2.5) from air pollution affects diseases including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), lung cancer and pneumonia. These problems are worst in the developing countries where individuals are subjected to high pollution rates every day. In fact, around 6.4 million people every day die due to these tiny particles floating in the air. Moreover, the expenses incurred due to pollution borne health problems are enormous which is estimated to be $8.1 trillion annually; this is about 6.1% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As the cases of respiratory emergencies are rising, the need for such equipment as ventilators and other products that are used by EMS services is increasing significantly. These devices are essential in emergency responses, further driving growth in this segment, especially in regions heavily impacted by air pollution.

Life Support and Emergency Resuscitation Equipment is the largest segment

The largest segment of the Emergency Medical Services Products Market is generally Life Support and Emergency Resuscitation Equipment because of the growing need and application for intensive care in emergency cases. Among these, cardiovascular diseases which impact over 640 million people globally now are the primary driving force for this demand as indicated by the British Heart Foundation’s September 2024 report. Heart and circulatory diseases alone affect 1 in 12 people in the world, which is why there is a rise in demand for technologies such as defibrillators and ventilators. Also, according to WHO, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among children and young persons between the ages of 5 and 29 representing a large population that requires emergency resuscitation and life support tools.

Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Drives the Market

One of the key factors that have been fueling the growth of the market is the rise in the cases of chronic diseases in the global population. Chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases are conditions that may call for immediate medical attention hence boosting the need for more sophisticated EMS products. Since chronic diseases are characterized by acute events, the use of emergency care is significant. Citing the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are known to cause 17.9 million lives every year, and chronic cardiovascular diseases alone is responsible for the death of over 4.1 million people annually. This increasing tendency places a great deal of load on healthcare systems and hence causing an increased spending on EMS equipment such as defibrillators, ventilators, and other related products for managing these crises. When the number of patients with chronic diseases increases, the need for timely and effective emergency care increases as well.

Shortage of EMS Staff

The EMS industry is experiencing a severe shortage of skilled workers particularly paramedics and EMTs. As per Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services, Kentucky has an attrition rate of 21%, which means two out of 10 of their emergency medical technicians, commonly known as EMTs, will not return or certify again in 2025. Further, only 40% of their EMTs work with an EMS service. The demanding nature of the job characterized by long hours, irregular shifts and exposure to high-stress situations makes it increasingly difficult to attract and retain skilled professionals. Coupled with this, the relatively low compensation compared to other healthcare professions further discourages potential recruits. The increasing complexity of medical procedures and the rapid advancement of technology require a higher level of specialized training and certification. Additionally, several emergency workers died due to the pandemic leading to severe shortages in several parts of the world. More than 3,600 US healthcare workers died in the first year of the pandemic according to Lost on the Frontline, a 12-month investigation by the Guardian and Kaiser Health News (KHN).
