- Healthcare transportation services are vital for ensuring the timely and safe movement of patients, medical equipment, organs, and specimens between healthcare facilities. These services are essential for supporting emergency responses, inter-facility transfers, and home healthcare logistics
- The demand for healthcare transportation is driven by the rising incidence of chronic diseases, increasing geriatric population, and the growing need for accessible and efficient healthcare delivery systems. Emergency medical services (EMS) and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) constitute the majority share of the global demand
- The North America region leads the market due to its well-established healthcare infrastructure, strong insurance coverage, and a robust network of public and private healthcare transportation providers
- For instance, the U.S. has seen a steady increase in NEMT utilization, especially among elderly and mobility-impaired populations, with both public programs and private providers expanding services to meet demand
- Globally, healthcare transportation services are considered one of the most critical support systems in the healthcare ecosystem, next to diagnostic services, playing a central role in improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency in healthcare delivery
