The global breathalyzers market size was estimated to be USD 3.20 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 16.65 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 16.19% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Increasing alcohol abuse & stringent laws for mandatory alcohol testing, rising technological advancements in breathalyzers, surge in prevalence of alcohol consumption & smoking, growing collaboration & partnership within market players, increasing focus on development of advanced medical products, and rising introduction of innovative products by leading market players are some of the key factors boosting the market growth.
Rising introduction of technologically advanced breathalyzers by leading market players is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2022, Cannabix Technologies Inc., a company specializing in the creation of breathalyzer devices for the detection of marijuana use by law enforcement and in workplace settings, has introduced its latest prototype, the THC Breath Analyzer (THCBA) version 4.0, along with a portable system designed for on-site applications.
By technology, fuel cell technology was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global breathalyzers market in 2023 owing to its wide range of benefits, including a small size, improved precision, a long lifespan, & a low power need, rising demand for constant & accurate BAC reading, manufacturers are focusing on expanding the capabilities of their current breathalyzer devices by integrating cutting-edge technologies, increasing new product launches. Additionally, infrared spectroscopy is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for infrared spectroscopy techniques, increasing use of infrared spectroscopy in the biological sector, rising technological advancements, and surge in regulatory approvals. For instance, in January 2023, Vox Biomedical has disclosed that it has been granted a notice of allowance by the US Patent office for its infrared spectroscopy technology designed to detect viruses in exhaled breath.
By application, alcohol detection was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global breathalyzers market in 2023 owing to surge in prevalence of drinking alcohol & smoking, growing technological advancements, rising clinical applications of these analyzers, and increasing collaborations within market players. For instance, in September 2022, Hound Labs has entered into a strategic partnership with Quest Diagnostics, designating Quest as the sole provider of laboratory services for confirming positive results from breath samples obtained via the HOUND CANNABIS BREATHALYZER. This breathalyzer is employed by employers at the workplace to objectively identify and discourage cannabis use during working hours. Additionally, medical application is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing launch of advanced products, rising technological developments for the detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) through breath analyzers, growing need for early diagnosis of conditions including cardiopulmonary diseases, lung & breast cancer, and surge in approvals by regulatory bodies.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the rising awareness regarding road traffic safety, surge in short & easy product approval procedures, and increasing launch of advanced products. For instance, in February 2022, The AIRE 2, a portable breathalyzer for digestive health, was unveiled by FoodMarble Digestive Health Ltd. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising usage of breath analyzers, growing research on medical applications of breath analyzers, increasing focus on development of advanced breath analyzers, and surge in approvals by regulatory bodies. For instance, in April 2022, An emergency use authorization for the InspectIR COVID-19 Breathalyzer was issued by the Food and Drug Administration.
