Specialty Vehicles Market Trends
Increase in Spending on Law Enforcement and Healthcare Facilities
The rise in epidemics and pandemics, traffic accidents, household and industrial injuries, and government-sponsored healthcare programs is driving demand for medical and healthcare specialty vehicles. Diseases such as blood cancer, which affect one person every three minutes in the United States, have increased the demand for blood, propelling the market growth for bloodmobiles.
Recent epidemics and pandemics, such as the Ebola and COVID-19 outbreaks, have increased demand for ambulances, mobile pharmacies, and mobile intensive care units. In many countries, the increase in demand for ambulances has outpaced population growth. Several countries are using advanced healthcare vehicles to cater to health emergencies. For instance, after the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were lifted, the mobile operation theatre service resumed in New Zealand. With the rise and development of autonomous vehicle technology, emergency medical vehicles are expected to be outfitted with semi-autonomous driving assistance technology in the near future. The increase in global government spending on law enforcement and healthcare facilities is driving the demand for specialty vehicles.
Moreover, the number of specialty vehicles in use in Japan reached 1.77 million last year, up from around 1.64 million in 2012. As a result, the number of SPVs increased steadily over the previous decade.
Asia-Pacific to Exhibit the Highest Growth Rate Over the Forecast Period
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to lead the specialty vehicle market. The advancements in technology developments are propelling the growth of the specialty vehicles market in the region. Various companies have delivered ambulances to local authorities and other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, post-pandemic, there have also been new developments in ambulances as companies are getting into a strategic collaboration and launching advanced ambulances.
For instance, in October 2022, Medulance Healthcare, an emergency medical response service provider, launched a 5G-Smart connected ambulance in collaboration with Reliance Jio, the country's largest telecom operator.
In May 2022: At the EV Expo 2022, India's first EV emergency responder will be unveiled. The AmbulanceMe app is compatible with the Made in India Electric first responder vehicle.
The medical and healthcare response vehicles sector is another sector that holds a major share of the market. Design and other innovative changes such as electric propulsion, separate patient compartment, negative pressure creation technology, and UV disinfection are expected to propel the medical specialty vehicle market in the near future.
