Ambulance Services

Overview

The US ambulance services industry includes about 4,000 firms with combined annual revenue of about $9 billion. Major companies are AMR (American Medical Response, owned by Emergency Medical Services) and Rural/Metro Corporation. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate almost half of the industry’s total annual revenue. For more information on fire department and public-based ambulance services see the First Research Municipal Governments profile; for hospital-based ambulance services refer to the Hospitals profile; and for non-medical transportation services for the disabled or elderly, see the profile for the Healthcare Sector or Nursing Homes and Assisted Living.
