The Global Air Ambulance Services Market Likely to be Driven by Increased Demand for Emergency Care Services and Growing Medical Tourism
The global market for air ambulance services is likely to be driven by a rise in the number of medical emergencies during the COVID-19 outbreak, and growing demand of emergency response in incidences such as significant bleeding which may require urgent administration of blood products, traumatic brain injury, stroke or cardiac arrest, and need of emergency anaesthetic. Air ambulance helicopters and flights are meant to be equipped with necessary and medical apparatus, and must have well-trained medical staff capable of handling emergencies and complex situations. Another major market driver is expected to be medical tourism, with key destinations including USA and India. While the air ambulance industry is relatively well-established in USA and Europe, it is expanding to countries like India.
Broadly, air ambulances may be classified into two categories - rotary-wing and fixed-wing. Rotary-wing aircraft refer to those powered by rotating blades, such as helicopters. These are most commonly employed in emergencies that require someone to be transported a smaller distance in the shortest time possible. Their capacity to land practically anywhere renders them advantageous in instances when a ground ambulance would have difficulty reaching the patient. Fixed-wing aircraft are propeller driven or jet engine powered, and have stationary wings. Such aircraft are generally used to travel longer distances due to their capacity to fly farther without having to refuel in the way.
One significant benefit that fixed-wing air ambulances have over rotary-wing aircraft is their ability to operate in bad weather (such as fog). This results in less delays when a patient is transported between facilities. Furthermore, fixed-wing air ambulances have a significantly larger interior than helicopters, allowing for the carriage of additional medical equipment and personnel. Due to their ability to fly at greater altitudes, fixed-wing air ambulances also provide a less turbulent journey for patients.
Service Providers Announcing Expansion of Operations and New Bases Expected to Stimulate the Market
Several service providers are announcing new bases to provide critical care to residents in emergency situations, and expand operations. For example, in 2021, LifeNet Inc, a division of Air Methods, announced the opening of a new base at Hartford. The new base location aimed at ensuring air medical service access to residents in the Hartford region and surrounding areas, and faster response times in trauma situations and exigencies.
US-based non-profit air ambulance provider, Life Flight Network, announced the establishment of a new helicopter critical care transport base in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The base is slated to open in spring 2023, and would have its own squad of pilots, mechanics, nurses and paramedics. The new base has been planned in response to increasing population in the region and rising demand for aeromedical services.
Many service providers such as Livonta Global offer domestic as well as international air ambulance services. International air ambulance services are those that involve taking patients to another country for treatment, while domestic air ambulance services constitute the transportation of patient within the country. The company also provides private air ambulance services, which refer to an aircraft or air ambulance charter run particularly for medical purposes. With trained medical personnel onboard, these medical private jets can act as Intensive Care Units (ICUs) if required. The aircraft are equipped to provide services such as Basic Life Support (BLS), and Advanced Life Support (ALS).
In 2021, Blade India launched air ambulance services in India in the midst of growing demand in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, air ambulance is an expensive service, and this may be a limiting factor for the market.
