Therefore, the market for breath analyzers is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027.

BREATH ANALYZERS MARKET DYNAMICS:

One of the main driver for the breath analysers is the increasing consumption of alcohol and other drugs worldwide.

For instance, according United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) 2021, around 275 million people used drugs worldwide in the last year, while over 36 million people suffered from drug use disorders. The source also stated that about 5.5% of the population aged between 15 and 64 years have used drugs at least once in the past year.

Further, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, worldwide, nearly 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol. Also, overall, 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury is attributable to alcohol.

Thus, the increasing consumption of alcohol and other drugs will increase the demand of breath analysers in the market.

Additionally, the increasing prevalence of many respiratory disorders such as asthma, COPD, COVID-19, and others will increase the demand of breath analysers as these devices are also used as a diagnosis devices for the afore-said disorders. For instance, according to the WHO 2022, it was estimated in 2019 that worldwide around 262 million people were suffering from asthma in 2019. Also, as per the WHO data on Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disorder 2022, globally around 3.23 million deaths had occurred owing to the COPD disorder in the year 2019. Thus, the increasing prevalence of asthma, COPD, and other disorders will increase the demand of breath analysers in the upcoming years.

Therefore, the factors stated above collectively will drive the overall breath analyzers market during the forecast period from 2022-2027.

However, accuracy concerns of the device and high susceptibility to external factors like temperature and others, and others, can hamper the global breath analyzers market growth.

The COVID- 19 pandemic had a moderate impact on the market growth of breath analyzers during the initial few months owing to the lockdown impositions, border closures, and others leading to the disruption in manufacturing, supply, import, export, and other related activities of the asthma spacers market. However, during the latter half of the pandemic, the breath analyzer market started to recover owing to the resumption of activities across industries including the healthcare sector. Additionally, the breath analyzers market also saw an increase in the product demand owing to the rise in number of cases of COVID-19 infection. The breath analyzers were used as a diagnosis device for the COVID-19 infection, ultimately increasing its demand. Thus, the above stated factors increased the demand of breath analyzers during the pandemic and it anticipated to do the same in the forecast period of 2022 - 2027.

BREATH ANALYZERS MARKET SEGMENT ANALYSIS:

Breath analyzers market by Type (Device and Consumables [Mouth Piece, Cables and Adapters, and Others]), Technology (Fuel Cell Technology, Semiconductor Sensor, Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy, and Others), Application (Alcohol Detection, Drug Abuse Detection, and Others), End-User (Law Enforcement Agencies, Hospitals, and Medical Applications), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, And Rest of the World).

In the technology segment of the breath analyzers market, the fuel cell technology market is expected to have a significant revenue share in the year 2021. This was primarily owing to the advantages offered by the fuel cell technology along with the increasing product launches will propel the demand of the fuel cell technology breath analyzers in the upcoming years.

Breathalyzers with fuel cell sensors maintain accuracy over a much longer period of time and are more likely to produce the same test result in repeated, uninterrupted tests than semiconductor devices. Fuel cell-based testers also require significantly less-frequent recalibration than semiconductor sensors - up to 1,500 tests or once a year - and regular use of a fuel cell breathalyzer can actually help maintain the accuracy of the fuel cell, as moisture in exhaled human breath is beneficial to the sensor.

Further, unlike semiconductor models, a fuel cell sensor will not produce a false positive for individuals who are diabetic or on a low calorie diet. Semiconductor devices can also react to cigarette smoke, breath acetone, and volatile chemicals such as hairspray and gasoline vapor, and give positive alcohol readings even when no alcohol is present, where as fuel cell sensor do not offer no such disadvantage.

Additionally, a fuel cell breathalyzer sensor can provide consistent and accurate BAC readings from 0.00% up to 0.400%; this includes detecting trace amounts of alcohol.

Further, presence of many advanced fuel cell breath analyzer such as BACtrack S80 Pro, which has one of the largest fuel cell sensor and remains accurate for a longer period of time, up to thousands of tests. Thus, presence of such advanced and accurate devices in the market will spur its demand in the upcoming years.

Thus, due to the interplay of all the above-mentioned advantages this can result in the rising demand for fuel cell technology breath analyzers in the market, which in turn would provide a conducive growth environment for overall breath analyzers market during the market forecast 2022-2027.

NORTH AMERICA IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE OVERALL BREATH ANALYZERS MARKET:

Among all the regions, North America is expected to dominate the global breath analyzers market in the year 2021 and is expected to do the same during the forecast period from 2022-2027.

Factors such as the increasing alcohol and other drugs consumption in the region, strict implementation of road safety laws due to increasing number of road accidents and drug abuse deaths, and the rise in the product launches for breath analyzers will increase the demand for breath analyzers devices in the North America market.

For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022, every day, nearly 29 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver, which is one death in every 50 minutes. Also, as per the Public Health Canada 2020, the number of drug-impaired driving (DID) incidents was increased by 19% from 2019 to 2020. The increasing drug and alcohol consumption, increase the number of road accidents and mortality rate from the accidents. The government of the region is continuously working to reduce the mortality rate by imposing the strict rules against the alcohol consumptions, drink and drive cases, and others. This will ultimately increase the demand of breath analyzers, in order to check the amount of drug and alcohol intake of people at roads and check points.

Further, the increasing consumption of alcohol and drugs in the region will drive the market of breath analyzers in the region. The alcohol and other legal and illegal drugs act as a risk factor for various chronic and severe diseases, thus increasing the overall patient pool and mortality rate. For instance, According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 85.6% of people ages 18 and older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime, 69.5% reported that they drank in the past year, and 54.9 % reported that they drank in the past month. The same source stated that, nearly 14.5 million people aged 12 and older had alcohol use disorder (AUD). This number includes 9.0 million men and 5.5 million women. Thus, the above figures clearly states that the consumption of alcohol is quite high in the United States people, ultimately increasing the risk of various chronic disorders. In order to control the incidence and mortality rate from chronic disease, it is every essential to control the exposure to risk factors. Thus, the breath analyzers will come into the play while doing so, thereby increasing its demand in the market.

Additionally, the increasing cases of covid-19 cases, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders will spur the overall market growth of the breath analyzers as these analyzers are also used as a diagnosis device for the afore-said disorders.

Therefore, the interplay of the aforementioned factors above would provide a conducive growth environment for the North American region in the breath analyzers market.
