Market Insights

The worldwide market for ambulance stretchers is unveiling productive development over the forecast period from 2018 to 2026, due to increasing progress in the delivery of emergency care services to hospitals and emergency care centers. Technology assessments in ambulance stretchers such as manual stretchers, pneumatic stretchers or hydraulic stretchers and electrically driven stretchers are gaining momentum in hospitals and clinics. Newly produced transportable stretchers have improved capacities compared to fundamental or simple equipment with enhanced functionality and features such as removable / reversible headrest, adjustable backrest (up to 75 degrees), storage cabinet, knee lift and shock position, cylinder holders, antimicrobial sheet, enhanced locking mechanisms, improved hydraulic technology in the critical area.

In nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and Australia, pneumatic and electrical ambulance stretchers rapidly replace manual stretchers. However, in developing countries, the use of manual stretchers is largely in the end-user segment owing to their low price and ease of access.

Major driving factors in the global ambulance stretchers market include, expanding geriatric population, expanded government spending on social care, developing medical tourism in countries like India, China, Brazil, Mexico, GCC countries, and rising awareness about emergency care service providers in the local regions of the developing nations. However, the conveyance of ambulances geologically is much unstructured. Besides, factors such as staggering expense of private emergency care services and absence of trained experts in the emergency care administrations may hamper the growth and development of the global ambulance stretchers market during the forecast period.  High prices and availability of new transportable ambulance stretchers in the rural and local areas, such as bariatric trolley, incubator transport trolley and other critical care trolley with full support is also a very crucial factor, which restricts the overall consumption of this equipment in the hospitals, clinics and ambulatory service centers in the developing economies.

Major players in this vertical are Stryker Corporation, Hill-Rom Holdings Inc., Fu Shun Hsing Technology Co. Ltd., Getinge Group, Medline Medical Equipment Inc., Ferno-Washington, Inc., Omega Surgical Industries, Zhangjiagang New Fellow Med Co., Ltd., Dragon Industry (ZJG) Co., Ltd, CI Healthcare and others.
