Global pneumatic stretcher trolley market was valued at $670 million in 2025 and is projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2026–2035). Pneumatic stretcher trolleys provide smoother and more efficient patient transport compared to traditional stretchers. Their air-powered lift mechanisms reduce the physical effort required from healthcare staff while maintaining patient comfort and safety during movement. The growing need for quick and reliable patient transfer in emergency and trauma care settings is a major factor supporting their adoption.
Rising hospital admissions linked to chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are also increasing the demand for efficient patient handling systems. According to the American Hospital Association, total admissions across all US hospitals increased from 33.6 million in 2024 to 34.4 million in 2025, reflecting growing patient volumes and greater pressure on healthcare facilities to manage patient flow efficiently.

Rising Focus on Patient Safety and Ergonomic Design is Driving the Adoption of Pneumatic Stretcher Trolleys
A key factor driving market growth is the increasing emphasis on patient safety and comfort. Hospitals and emergency facilities are prioritising equipment that reduces physical strain for both caregivers and patients. Pneumatic stretcher trolleys have become a preferred choice because of their smooth height adjustment, shock absorption, and ergonomic handling, which improve comfort and reduce the risk of injury during transport.
Manufacturers are incorporating ergonomic features such as adjustable height controls, intuitive operation, and better adjustability across manual and electric models. These improvements make patient transfers safer and more efficient. The Amico Titan Transport Stretcher aligns with this trend, offering features like a dual brake system, deep well storage, and ergonomic design. It prioritises fall prevention and efficiency in healthcare, with features including low height, dual brake pedals, adjustable knee gatch, hydraulic lift system, central brake locking, ergonomic push handles, side bumpers, and integrated foot push handle.
Rising Emergency Services and Expanding ASC Network Driving Market Growth
The growing demand for emergency medical services (EMS) and the steady rise in ambulatory surgical centres (ASCs) are key factors driving the market. Hospitals and emergency teams need reliable equipment that ensures quick and safe patient transport in critical situations. Pneumatic stretchers are built to handle frequent use and demanding conditions in trauma and emergency care. The rise in outpatient surgeries has also increased the need for such equipment. Between 2022 and 2023, the number of Medicare-certified ASCs in the US grew by 2.5%, reaching 6,308 facilities. During that period, 250 new ASCs opened while 95 closed or merged, leading to a net gain of 155 new centres.
Growing Demand For Hydraulic Pneumatic Stretchers with Enhanced Safety and Comfort Features
The hydraulic pneumatic stretcher trolley segment holds a considerable share of the global pneumatic stretcher trolley market as hospitals and emergency facilities increasingly favour designs that combine patient comfort with operational efficiency. These trolleys use a combination of hydraulic and pneumatic systems to provide smooth, controlled movement for height adjustments and positioning. The growing preference for trolleys that offer precise, hands-free operation and quick response to clinical needs continues to drive demand in this segment. For instance, NOVAK M d.o.o. offers Stretcher X2, which features hydraulic height adjustment, foot pedal controls, and gas-spring-assisted sections that allow smooth positioning of the head and leg areas. It allows hands-free adjustment of the Anti/Trendelenburg position and lifting the head section to 80° for patient comfort. Gas springs make adjustments easy.
Regional Outlook
The global pneumatic stretcher trolley market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Leads the Global Pneumatic Stretcher Trolley Market Growth
North America is expected to dominate the pneumatic stretcher trolley market due to its advanced healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, adoption of modern medical technologies, and consistent investment in emergency medical services. In the US and Canada, advanced medical ecosystems and sustained capital spending have accelerated the use of pneumatic stretcher trolleys in ambulance fleets, trauma centres, and interfacility transport operations.
According to the US Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), national health care spending grew by 7.5% in 2023, reaching $4.9 trillion, while hospital expenditures increased by 10.4% to $1.52 trillion. This consistent rise in healthcare investment highlights the region’s financial capacity to adopt advanced patient transport and handling equipment.
