The report is a comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global breath analyzers market. According to report the global breath analyzers market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.5% over the forecast period of 2017-2023.

Breath analyzers are the medical devices which are used to identify various compounds in the exhaled breath of an individual. These devices are considered as the fundamental tool for the detection of alcohol, drugs, tuberculosis, asthma and other diseases. There basically three types of breath analyzers available in the market, which includes semiconductor oxide breath analyzers, fuel cell breath analyzers, and spectrophotometer breath analyzers. Among these, semiconductor oxide breath analyzers are low cost and low power consumption models, but also known to be less accurate than fuel cell breathalizers. These devices incorporate an ethanol-specific sensor, however sometimes acetones and other metabolites can act as ethanol and give a false reading. Fuel cell breath analyzers are electrochemical fuel cell breathalizers work by using chemicals to oxidise the alcohol in a breath sample, and using that oxidation process to generate an electric current. More alcohol will create a larger electric current. Spectrophotometry recognizes specific molecules by the way they react to infrared light, and are not as prone to false positives as semiconductor breathalizers. These are large an expensive pieces of equipment, and fuel cell breathalizers are considered just as accurate as long as the conditions are controlled. Breath analyzers can be used by personals as well as by professionals to avoid the drunken individuals from entering in the company premises and other social places.

 

Market Insights
