Breathalyzers Market Growth Accelerated by Increasing Concerns Regarding Road Accidents

 


Breathalyzers are analytical instruments that measure the concentration or content of alcohol in exhaled breath. Portable breathalyzers are commonly used by law enforcement officials to determine the blood alcohol concentration and check if it is within legal limits for operating vehicles. The devices help curb the cases of drink-and-drive by enabling quick and easy alcohol detection.

The global Breathalyzers market is estimated to be valued at US$ 10.6 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends driving the growth of the Breathalyzers market is the increasing concerns regarding road accidents caused due to drink-driving. As per estimates, approximately one-third of all traffic accident fatalities in several countries involve alcohol. This has resulted in stringent laws and regulations mandating the use of breathalyzers during random vehicle checks by law enforcement agencies. The introduction of advanced technologies such as fuel cell based breathalyzers and miniaturized portable devices is further fueling the adoption rate. Fuel cell based breathalyzers provide accurate and fast results without requiring separate calibration. On the other hand, compact portable devices allow flexibility of on-site screening. Owing to technological advancements, major players in the market including Cannabix Technologies Inc. and Intoximeters Inc. are focusing on developing sophisticated breathalyzers to capitalize on the high demand.

Segment Analysis
The global breathalyzers market is dominated by handheld breathalyzers which account for more than 60% of the overall market share. Handheld breathalyzers are portable, easy-to-use and cost-effective screening solutions for law enforcement authorities and individuals. They provide instant results and do not require any specialized training to operate. Moreover, the advent of advanced micro-fuel cell based handheld breathalyzers with fuel cell sensor technology has made them more accurate and reliable than traditional semi-quantitative evidential devices. This has further solidified their dominant position in the market.

Key Takeaways
The global breathalyzers market is expected to witness high growth.

Regional analysis: The North America breathalyzers market currently dominates with over 40% market share owing to stringent drink-driving laws and protocols in the region. Moreover, active collaborations between government agencies and market players to curb alcohol impaired driving accidents is also boosting demand. However, the Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period with rising drunk driving cases and growing concerns regarding public safety.
