Key Drivers of Global Scoop Stretcher Market
- Increase in incidence of road accidents, sport injuries, trauma, and various other types of injuries boosts the growth of the global scoop stretchers market
- According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year, the lives of around 1.35 million people are cut short due to road accidents. Around 20 million to 50 million people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability because of the injury. Around 93% of the world's fatalities on the road occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have about 60% of the world's vehicles. Hence, increase in incidence of road accidents is projected to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
- According to the World Health Organization (WHO), population aged 60 years and above is projected to rise from 900 million in 2015 to 2 billion in 2050. Increase in geriatric population leads to surge in incidence of age-related problems such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and other chronic diseases. This is anticipated to boost the growth of the global scoop stretcher market.
