during the forecast period.
Market Overview:
Air ambulance manufacturers are investing heavily in advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve
turnaround time. For instance, 3D printing is dramatically changing the way structures and components of aircraft
are currently designed and manufactured. It reduces the design constraints that engineers face when using
conventional fabrication techniques. Furthermore, the ability to fabricate functional electronics into complex
structures using 3D printing allows manufacturers to offer air ambulances that operate effectively in adverse
conditions such as inclement weather, tsunamis, droughts, and cyclones.
Segmentation:
The global air ambulance services market has been segmented on the basis of transport vehicle, aircraft type,
service model, and mission profile.
By transport vehicle, the global air ambulance services market has been classified as air and ground. The ground
segment is projected to dominate the market with a valuation of USD 7,911.7 million in 2018 and reach USD
9,330 million by 2024. This is due to the high utilization of ground vehicles such as small air-conditioned vans and
full-size vans with all the necessary equipment for life support and medication. Moreover, these air-conditioned
ambulances mimic the environment of an ICU. The air segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.69% during
the forecast period.

The rotary-wing segment is expected to lead the market with a value of USD 6,086.8 million in 2018 and reach
USD 7,039.9 million by 2024. Rotary-wing aircraft are equipped with vertical lift rotors. These aircraft offer
various benefits such as vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), hover capabilities, and easy maneuverability. As a
result, these aircraft are widely deployed in rescue operations, as air ambulances, and related applications. The
fixed-wing segment is expected to register a 3.78% CAGR during the forecast period.
On the basis of service model, the global air ambulance services market has been classified as community-based,
hospital-based, and hybrid. The hospital-based segment is accounted for the largest market share in 2018. Hospitalbased models provide air medical transportation services to patients. Under this service model, the hospital owns
the program and provides the medical personnel, while air ambulance service providers offer aircraft operation and
maintenance. Air ambulance services and facilities can, therefore, vary from hospital to hospital. This model is
suitable for organized, advanced hospitals where investments in air ambulance service facilities are possible.
Based on mission profile, the global air ambulance services market has been classified as inter-facility transport,
scene response, and others. The inter-facility transport segment is dominating the market with a valuation of USD
