Breathalyzers Market Recent Developments, Insights during Forecast period 2020-2027
Breathalyzers Market |
Breathalyzers are devices that
measure blood alcohol levels through an individual's breathe. These gadgets are
used in probation offices, police agencies, correctional facilities, and the
business sector. The high number of deaths caused by drunk driving is likely to
fuel growth in the worldwide breathalysers market during the forecast period. According
to the U.S. Department of Transportation, drunk-driving collisions killed
10,511 people in the United States in 2018.
Furthermore, research and
development in the usage of breathalyser devices for evaluating marijuana
consumption is likely to provide attractive growth prospects for competitors in
the worldwide breathalyser devices market. For instance, in April 2020,
researchers from University of California, Los Angeles, reported development of
a mild electrochemical method for the oxidation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol
that is expected to aid in development of an electrochemical-based marijuana
breathalyzer.
According to Coherent Market Insights, The global Breathalyzers
Market was valued at US$ 4,518.4 Mn in 2019 and is forecast to reach
a value of US$ 71,866.2 Mn by 2027 at a CAGR of 41.3% between 2020 and 2027.
Breathalyzers are prone to faulty
analysis, which is predicted to stymie industry expansion. One of the possible
concerns with the use of breath testing equipment is that they detect other
compounds in the breath that have a similar structure to ethyl alcohol. The
devices are designed to identify substances with a methyl group structure, which
frequently leads in false positive findings. Furthermore, breathalysers are
temperature sensitive and will produce erroneous readings if not calibrated or
adjusted to the temperature of the surrounding air. This, in turn, is projected
to constrain market expansion.
The increased use of alcohol and
the frequency of alcohol-related crimes and abuses throughout the world
prompted governments to enact stricter regulations requiring the testing of
alcohol levels. It is a key element in the widespread usage of breathalysers,
and it is anticipated to drive additional expansion as many nations continue to
lack adequate regulatory regulations governing alcohol and its abuse. According
to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 85.6 percent of adults aged
18 and up in the United States reported drinking alcohol at some point in their
lives.
Big businesses' investment in
R&D of innovative breathalysers is likely to provide attractive development
prospects for participants in the global breathalysers market. For example, in
January 2019, Apple Inc. reported the characterization study of the response
stability and response time of a selective Nitric Oxide sensor using designed
data acquisition system in order to facilitate development of a wireless
handheld breathalyser in collaboration with Stony Brook University and The Ohio
State University in the United States.
The development of breathalysers
to identify flu viruses is projected to provide profitable growth prospects for
global breathalysers market participants. The alveolar and airway epithelium of
influenza patients produces various volatile organic chemicals and nitric
oxide, which can be utilised as biomarkers to diagnose the condition.
