Market Insight

Breath analyzers are the medical devices that are used to identify various compounds in the exhaled breath of an individual. It is considered as the essential instrument for the recognition of alcohol, drugs, tuberculosis, asthma, and other diseases. Semiconductor oxide breath analyzers are also known to be less accurate than fuel cell breathalyzers, but low cost and low power consumption models. Breath analyzer devices include an ethanol-specific sensor, but, sometimes acetones and other metabolites can act as ethanol and give a false reading. Fuel cell breath analyzers are electrochemical fuel cell breathalyzers work by using chemicals to oxidize the alcohol in a breath sample and using that oxidation process to generate an electric current. Spectrophotometry recognizes specific molecules by the way they react to infrared light and are not as prone to false positives as semiconductor breathalyzers. These are large and expensive pieces of equipment, and fuel cell breathalizers are considered just as accurate as long as the conditions are controlled.

Increasing alcohol consumption, stringent government regulations to minimize alcohol and drug abuse, increasing demand from law enforcement agencies along with other institutions like sports, colleges, and offices are some of the key driving factors for the growth of this market. In addition, the growing demand for easy diagnostics methods for various diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, etc. further propelling this market. The rising demand for speedy, accurate, and easy methods for principal identification of diseases such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and cancer is fueling the market growth. Breath analyzers can be used by personals as well as by professionals to avoid drunken individuals from entering the company premises and other social places. However, there are certain restraining factors that could hamper the growth of the market that includes high-cost spectrophotometer breath analyzers, and uncertainty about the accuracy of devices. The spread of novel coronavirus impacted the breath analyzers market in 2020. Due to Covid-19, the majority of surgeries have been given less priority. While in recent months, other medical device markets have come to the fore. Extremely amplified demand for critical pieces of equipment such as PPE (personal protective equipment), ventilators, and testing kits along with subsequent shortages of these devices has seen firms do everything they can to keep pace with the ever-growing needs of healthcare providers.

Among the regions, North America dominates the global breath analyzers market followed by the European market. The factors such as alcohol & drug testing regulations, rising use of personal breath analyzers, and the number of new product launches are driving the demand for breath analyzers in this market. The factors such as awareness conferences such as the Alcohol Interlock Symposia, stringent laws & growing usage of breath analyzers, mandate for motorists to carry breathalyzer kits in their vehicle, and seminars conducted by the European Transport Safety Council are anticipated to fuel market growth in the Europe region.
