Global Breath Analyzers Market Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast till 2031: By Technology (Fuel Cell, Semiconductor Oxide Sensor, Others), Application (Alcohol Detection, Drug Abuse Detection, Medical Application), End User (Law Enforcement Agencies, Enterprises, Individuals), and Region

The global breath analyzers market size was USD 534.0 million in 2021 and it is anticipated to reach USD 2594.2 million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2022-2031.

The Breath Analyzer is a device used to track the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) in an individual, through a breath sample. The test performed depends upon the relationship between alcohol in the blood or in the breath flowing through the lungs. The rising trend of extreme alcohol consumption resulting in road accidents; has raised the usage of breathalyzer devices. Encouraging government initiatives are also boosting the market growth. Breathalyzer devices are also gaining importance owing to the increasing demand at the workplace for effective BAC (blood alcohol content) levels and their non-invasive nature which is increasing the demand for breath analyzer devices. It is a primary tool for monitoring drugs, alcohol, tuberculosis, asthma, and other diseases hence; it is anticipated that the demand for this system should constantly rise.

Global Breath Analyzers Market Scope and Structure Analysis

Market Trends and Drivers

The key factors boosting the growth of the market are rising alcohol abuse and drug abuse. In 2018, about 10,511 people in the US died because of drunk driving. Excessive alcohol consumption leads to a high risk of developing more than 200 diseases, comprising liver cirrhosis and some cancers. In the US almost 30 people die every day owing to driving under the influence (DUI). Additionally, high blood alcohol content was observed in~20% of fatally injured drivers in accidents in developed countries. The growing number of road accidents caused by drunk driving and drug abuse has increased the demand for breath analyzers, as these devices assist in monitoring the presence of different compounds and measuring the blood alcohol content in a breath sample.

Similarly, technological advancements are also boosting the growth of the market. The breath analyzers market is technology-driven and is projected to grow at a significant rate in the upcoming years. Due to the lucrative potential of the market, a number of players are focusing on developing novel technologies and are continuously introducing accurate and easy-to-use breath analyzers. For instance, in August 2019, Y Combinator, an investment company, invested in SannTek Labs to work on a new kind of breathalyzer. This breathalyzer is designed to detect blood alcohol levels as well as the type of cannabis a person has consumed in the past 3 to 4 hours.

Market Restraints and Challenges

The major factor hampering the growth of the market is the accuracy concern of the breath analyzers. At times, breath analyzers provide inaccurate results failing to distinguish alcohol from any other chemical compound that includes a methyl group structure. Some alcohol testing machines identify not only ethyl alcohol (found in alcoholic drinks) but also any compound with a related molecular structure. Additionally, lip gloss, mouthwash, dentures, paint, glue, thinners, cleaning solvents, the foam used for hand hygiene, cigarettes, and even inhalers used for asthma can also hinder the test results of breath analyzers.

Global Breath Analyzers Market Segmentation
