The global mobile stroke unit market size is expected to reach USD 50.36 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for mobile stroke unit is expected to upsurge owing to increasing demand for specialized emergency rooms on wheel to increase the stroke survival rate.
The incidence rate of stroke is high owing to the lack of awareness amongpeople related to the primary stroke signs and hence the government of developed economies such as the U.S. has established many initiatives at the national level to address this issue. Some of them are Act FAST, Stroke Training and Awareness Resources (STARS), stroke program, and cryogenic stroke awareness.
Growing healthcare cost burden has also increased the percentage of research funding for stroke. In April 2015, the Health Economics Research Centre at Oxford University compared the research spending for stroke from 2008 to 2012. The result established the fact that the percentage of stroke research funding had increased from 1% to 3%. In 2012, the government and charity spending for stroke in the UK was around USD 4.14 billion.
Stroke primarily occurs owing to obesity, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking habits. 87% of the stroke is ischemic in nature due to the artery blockage in high blood pressure patients. Obesity leads to difficulty in blood circulation as the body has high fat.

The U.S. is the most potential market owing to increased stroke research funding and programs undertaken to increase awareness and high penetration of telemedicine technology. In 2011, the U.S. government spent over USD 302 million for stroke research to prevent the primary signs of stroke such as atrial fibrillation and molecules discovery to treat them. The January 2015 report released by the American Hospital Association, surveyed that in 2013, 52% of hospitals used Telehealth, while 10% implemented it. Consumers are willing to use the Telehealth services (74%) highlighting the fact that telemedicine is highly adopted in the U.S.
The computed tomography (CT) scanner segment dominated the market with 38.1% share in 2023 due to their ability to provide immediate, on-site imaging.
The telemedicine system segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period
Manufacturers are also conducting collaborative exercises to study the effect of pre-hospitalization treatment against hospital stroke treatment. In July 2012, Neurologica Corporation and Meytec partnered to develop world’s first comprehensive mobile stroke ambulance. VIMED STEMO combines Meytec’s telemedicine technology with Neurologica’s CT scanner. The state-of-the-art CereTomallows real time imaging, thus reducing the treatment. To address increasing healthcare cost burden, the European nation funded a robotic project to speed up stroke rehabilitation.
