First Aid Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (First Aid Room Equipment, Automated External Defibrillators, First Aid Training Products), By End use (Hospital & Clinics, Home & Offices), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
The global first aid market size was valued at USD 4.77 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 6.18 billion by 2030, growing at CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2030. Demand for first aid kits is increasing owing to increasing cases of falls in home and office settings, the rising number of road accidents, and growing awareness regarding first aid procedures globally.
The rising number of accidents and injuries is a major factor driving the market's growth. Accidents and injuries occur at home, on the road, and at the workplace. Major accident cases are observed on the road. According to the World Health Organization's Global Status Report on Road Safety 2023, the number of annual road traffic deaths is approximately 1.19 million. High number of accidents and injuries creates a significant demand for first-aid products and services to help people manage injuries.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, around 14,000 people die in the U.K. and around 700,000 people are admitted to the hospital with major injuries. The high number of accidents and injuries puts pressure on the market to provide products and services to help people in such emergencies. The demand for first aid training and certification is increasing, as people are recognizing the importance of being prepared to respond to medical emergencies.
Due to rising awareness about health and safety, people are willing to learn basic first aid skills, which is expected to lead to a surge in the demand for training and certification programs. Due to the pandemic, online training courses for CRP, AED, and first aid are more popular, with people understanding the importance of being ready for emergencies. According to the American Red Cross report, the demand for online training courses has increased after the pandemic, and people are striving to be better equipped to respond to medical emergencies. Several new & innovative mobile applications and online resources have been launched in the market, which make it easier for individuals to access first aid information and training, allowing them to respond more effectively to medical emergencies.
In September 2022, DrySee created a patented bandage that changes color when it is time to change, improving wound care. The color-changing feature helps users visually identify the moisture and determine when dressings and bandages need replacement. Furthermore, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles recently developed a Smart Bandage that uses electrical stimulation to enhance the wound healing process and decrease the chances of infection. These advancements continue to drive growth in the first aid industry and make first aid more accessible and effective for everyone.
