The Ambulance Manufacturing Industry in North AmericaSpecialtyVehicles.netNovember 10, 2008 89 Pages - SKU: SPVH2014395 |
| Countries covered: North America The upfit manufacture of ambulances in North America is a challenging and differentiated endeavor, due to the need to incorporate numerous medical and complex life support components. These components must be fitted into a limited space on a light- or medium-duty van truck/body, and in turn meet all necessary safety requirements. The majority of ambulance manufacturers offer a wide product range covering multiple configurations. In all, around twenty-four players have been identified in this report, with a total sales output for body and fabrication of around $360 million. With high regulatory barriers to entry, there are unlikely to be new entrants into this market. A handful of national companies compete with smaller regional fabricators that focus on their own geographic areas. Consolidations are likely as competitive factors and manufacturing capacity force manufacturers to seek economies of scale. Going forward, the primary market driver will be the need to make vehicles more fuel efficient, even while incorporating additional medical equipment that adds weight and decreases mileage. The punishment of daily use and relatively rough handling, due to the rigors of the aggressive driving style required, metes out punishment to the vehicles so that their average life span is about seven to ten years, on average. These and other issues analyzed in this report provide a perspective on the business for this specialized vocational truck/body segment. The study breaks out production estimates in units and dollars for each manufacturer, to arrive at the total production in North America. Information is presented to highlight vehicle and building trends, and manufacturer profiles shed further light on the overall structure and dynamics of this niche segment of the vehicle body-building industry. SpecialtyVehicles.net (SVN) is a market research company focusing on vocational and specialized trucks. It is often not understood that after the production of a truck from the handful of well-known vehicle manufacturers, there is a huge downstream industry that readies the vehicle for specific customer applications, by fabricating a dedicated body and installing the components for final delivery to the customer. Our reports fill a crucial information gap between OE chassis and body/upfit areas. |
