Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Breathalyzers Market– Driver

High number of deaths due to drink and drive

High number of deaths due to drink and driving are expected to propel the growth of the global breathanlyzers market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2021, 37 people in the U.S. die in drunk-driving crashes that\'s one person every 39 minutes. In 2021, 13,384 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths. 14% increase from 2020.

R&D for use of breathalyzer devices for testing marijuana intake

R&D for the use of breathalyzer devices for testing marijuana intake is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global breathalyzer devices market. For instance, in April 2020, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, reported the development of a mild electrochemical method for the oxidation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol that is expected to aid in the development of an electrochemical-based marijuana breathalyzer.

Global Breathalyzers Market: Restraint

Breathalyzers are prone to inaccurate analysis

Breathalyzers are prone to inaccurate analysis, which is expected to hinder the growth of the market. One of the potential issues related to the usage of breath testing devices is that these devices tend to detect other substances present in the breath that have a structure similar to ethyl alcohol. The devices tend to detect compounds that contain a methyl group structure, which often results in false positive results. For instance, in November 2020, according to the government of the U.S., the tests that determine drunk driving are often unreliable.

Global Breathalyzers Market - Key Trends

Increasing adoption of biodegradable straws in Breathalyzers

Increasing adoption of biodegradable straws in Breathalyzers. is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global breathalyzer devices market. For instance, in March 2021, Alcolizer Technology is a drug and alcohol testing device and solutions provider in Australia, introduced biodegradable straws in breathalyzers replaced plastic straw mouthpieces with biodegradable straws for Alcolizer Wall Mounts and PLA straws (Poly Lactic Acid) for Alcolizer Wall Mounts. Fully biodegradable/compostable biopolymer (ie Vegetable Starch) and certified to the stringent requirements of international standards for compostable plastics
