Ignition Interlock Device Market Report 2026

The ignition interlock device market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.21 billion in 2025 to $10.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to drink driving regulations, road safety awareness programs, court mandated installations, technological improvements in breath analyzers, growth in vehicle monitoring.

The ignition interlock device market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of connected vehicle technologies, stricter alcohol safety laws, growth in commercial fleet monitoring, adoption of cloud based monitoring, advancements in sensor accuracy. Major trends in the forecast period include rising government mandates for dui prevention, integration of gps and camera features, growth of smartphone integrated devices, expansion of fleet safety solutions, adoption of real time data reporting.

The increasing incidence of alcohol-related traffic accidents is expected to drive the growth of the ignition interlock device market in the coming years. Alcohol-related traffic accidents occur when a driver operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, typically with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, resulting in impaired reaction time, poor judgment, and reduced motor skills. This rising prevalence is largely due to impaired cognitive function, as alcohol consumption slows reaction times and diminishes the ability to make safe driving decisions. Ignition interlock devices help mitigate these accidents by preventing vehicle engines from starting if the driver’s breath contains alcohol above a preset limit, ensuring that only sober individuals can operate the vehicle. For example, in May 2025, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US-based road-safety agency, 12,429 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2023 - an average of one fatality every 42 minutes. Alcohol-impaired crashes accounted for 30% of all motor-vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States that year. Among drivers involved in fatal crashes, 22% of males and 16% of females were alcohol-impaired, with the 21-24 age group showing the highest proportion at 28%, higher than any other age group. Hence, the rising prevalence of alcohol-related traffic accidents is fueling the growth of 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.
