Ignition Interlock Device Global Market Report 2025

The ignition interlock device market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.3 billion in 2024 to $9.21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to early government mandates, an increase in alcohol-related accidents, court-ordered installations of ignition interlock devices, growing public awareness about drunk driving prevention, and insurance incentives encouraging compliance.

The ignition interlock device market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of zero-tolerance policies, increasing road safety campaigns, broader adoption in developing countries, stricter regulations for commercial fleets, and a rising preference for subscription-based services. Key trends during this period include the introduction of camera-equipped devices, smartphone integration, cloud-based data storage, real-time monitoring capabilities, and advancements in biometric authentication.

The growing incidence of alcohol-related traffic accidents is expected to boost the ignition interlock device market in the coming years. Alcohol-related traffic accidents occur when drivers operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol, typically with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, resulting in impaired reaction times, poor judgment, and diminished motor skills. This rise in accidents is mainly caused by impaired decision-making, as alcohol consumption affects cognitive functions and slows responses, reducing safe driving capabilities. Ignition interlock devices help decrease alcohol-related accidents by preventing the vehicle from starting if the driver’s breath contains alcohol above a preset limit, ensuring only sober drivers can operate the vehicle. For example, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on traffic safety and DUI prevention, reported that alcohol-related crashes accounted for 32% of all traffic fatalities in 2022, up from 31% in 2021. As a result, the increasing prevalence of alcohol-related traffic accidents is fueling growth in the ignition interlock device market.

Key companies in the ignition interlock device market are concentrating on developing innovative, highest-rated products to improve reliability, user experience, and regulatory compliance. These top-rated ignition interlock devices comply with stringent safety, accuracy, and usability standards, often receiving high marks from regulatory agencies and users alike. They play a critical role in reducing repeat DUI offenses by ensuring that only sober drivers can start their vehicles, thereby enhancing road safety and legal adherence. For instance, in January 2025, Intoxalock, a U.S.-based ignition interlock device provider, partnered with InstallerNet Inc., a U.S.-based technology and service firm, to expand its national service center network and improve installation services. This collaboration aims to streamline the ignition interlock installation process by increasing efficiency, enhancing pricing transparency, and boosting overall service quality for both service partners and customers. By using AI-driven technology, the partnership reduces appointment no-shows, guarantees compensation for service centers, and strengthens the network to deliver greater value for all parties involved.

In October 2023, Smart Start Inc., a U.S.-based ignition interlock device provider, joined forces with Mobile Electronic Specialists of America (M.E.S.A.) to increase access to ignition interlock devices nationwide. This partnership leverages M.E.S.A.’s extensive network of trusted 12-volt industry retailers to extend the reach of Smart Start’s ignition interlock devices. Mobile Electronic Specialists of America is a U.S.-based company specializing in ignition interlock devices.

An ignition interlock device is a breath-analyzer system installed in a vehicle that prevents the engine from starting if the driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds a pre-set limit, thereby ensuring that only sober individuals can operate the vehicle. The device requires the driver to blow into it before starting the car and may prompt random retests while driving to provide continuous monitoring and deter alcohol-impaired driving.

The primary types of ignition interlock devices include portable ignition interlock devices, hardwired ignition interlock devices, and smartphone-integrated ignition interlock devices. Portable ignition interlock devices are handheld, battery-operated breathalyzers that users can carry and use across different vehicles to verify sobriety before driving. These devices operate using various technologies such as fuel cell technology, semiconductor technology, and infrared technology. They are applied in monitoring DUI offenders, managing commercial fleets, and for personal use. Distribution occurs through both direct and distribution channels. Key end-users include government agencies, fleet operators, and individual users.
