Market Challenges And Opportunities

North America Portable Alcohol and Drug for Abuse Testing Equipment Market: Restraint

Inaccurate and wrong results of some breathalyzers are hampering the North America portable alcohol and drug for abuse testing equipment market. For instance, in 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that the breathalyzer device launched by the U.S.-based company Breathometer Inc. was poorly tested, and it gave inaccurate results, telling users that they were sober or clear to drive when they were not.

North America Portable Alcohol and Drug for Abuse Testing Equipment Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent lockdown in various countries have impacted the financial status of businesses in all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one of the sectors, which is majorly impacted by the pandemic.

According to a research article published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020, forced isolation and quarantine during COVID-19 can impact the behavior of drug abusers. Also, due to the stringent lockdown measures and social distancing to combat the coronavirus spread, an increase in alcohol and drug abuse is expected, further leading to isolated overdosing and posing a striking challenge for drug addicts.
