The global breathalyzers market size is expected to reach USD 17.31 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Breathalyzers Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Technology (Fuel Cell Technology, Semiconductor Oxide Sensor Technology, and Infrared Spectroscopy), Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Breathalyzer is a device that measures the amount of alcohol that analyzes an individual’s a person breath for measuring breath alcohol content (BrAC). The breathalyzers market is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing regulatory measures for drunk driving, heightened awareness of alcohol abuse, and rising workplace safety standards. The market benefits from advancements in sensor technologies, such as fuel cell and infrared spectroscopy, which provide greater accuracy and reliability. Opportunities lie in expanding the use of breathalyzers for drug abuse detection and healthcare applications, such as non-invasive diagnostics for medical conditions.
Trends such as the integration of smartphone connectivity, growing demand for portable devices, and the use of breathalyzers in personal health monitoring are expected to drive the breathalyzers market expansion. As governments continue to enforce stricter safety regulations and consumers seek more accessible alcohol testing solutions, the market is poised for continued growth across both professional and personal segments.
Key Highlights of Breathalyzers Market Report
Based on technology, the fuel cell technology segment dominates the breathalyzers market due to its high accuracy, stability, and preference in law enforcement applications. Infrared spectroscopy is experiencing the highest growth, driven by its advanced analytical capabilities and expanding use in healthcare diagnostics.
