The global breathanalyzers market size is expected
to reach USD 11.3 billion by 2024, according to Grand View Research, Inc. The
market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 28.8% during the forecast period.
Growing demand for breath analyzers from law enforcement agencies and other
institutions such as schools, sports, and offices to minimize alcohol abuse is
a major market driver.
Fuel cell technology has been widely used
in professional breath analyzers since it offers accuracy, alcohol specificity,
and portability. Moreover, semiconductor sensor technology offers affordable
breath alcohol screening devices suitable for private use. Usage of breath analyzers
with infrared spectroscopy is currently limited to law enforcement agencies
owing to their high cost and large size.
Growing demand for quick, accurate, and
easy methods for primary diagnosis of diseases such as asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cancer is augmenting market growth.
In addition, use of breath analyzers to monitor carbon monoxide in exhaled air
for smoking cessation is expected to aid market growth during the forecast
period.
The market may be impeded by factors such
as uncertainty over accuracy devices, ambiguous laws about installation in
offices, and high prices of devices such as infrared spectroscopes. Many breath
drug detection devices are still into developmental phase as detection
technology depends on the type of drug. This condition poses some uncertainty
over the success of these devices.
