The Saudi Arabia air ambulance services market size was estimated at USD 126.32 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 219.46 million by 2033 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.34% from 2026 to 2033. This growth is driven by the expansion of emergency medical service infrastructure, rising demand for rapid inter-facility transfers, increasing government investment in advanced medical aviation capabilities, and a growing focus on improving response times for trauma, cardiac, and critical care cases.
In addition, the development of specialized air ambulance fleets, integration of modern onboard medical technologies, and rising awareness of pre-hospital emergency care continue to support market expansion across the Kingdom. The rise in chronic diseases such as cancer is expected to drive the Saudi Arabia air ambulance services industry’s growth. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) study published in January 2024, Saudi Arabia saw a rise in cancer cases from 27,885 in 2020 to 60,429 in 2040, projecting a growth of 116.7% in the cases. Such incidents demand emergency air travel, contributing to the market growth.
In addition, the rising healthcare expenditure enables the country to provide advanced healthcare solutions such as air ambulance services. For instance, according to a report published by the International Trade Administration under the U.S. Department of Commerce in January 2024, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) accounts for 60% of the health expenditures of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The government spent approximately USD 50.4 billion on healthcare and social development in 2023, accounting for 16.9% of its yearly budget. Such increased healthcare expenses drive the air ambulance market growth.
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic evoked healthcare emergencies worldwide, encouraging healthcare facilities to provide rapid services. For instance, International SOS offered air ambulance service, providing medical evacuation support to the Kenyan nationals suffering from pulmonary embolism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such instances are expected to encourage the growth of air ambulance services, thereby driving market expansion.
