Breath Analyzer Market Analysis

Technology (Fuel Cell Technology, Semiconductor Oxide Sensor)

The global breath analyzer market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by technology into fuel cell technology, semiconductor oxide sensor, and others. Out of the three types, the fuel cell technology segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. Owing to the tiny size of the cells and the low power needs, fuel cell is especially well suited for portable screening equipment. The electrochemical mechanism used by fuel cell sensors to oxidase the alcohol in a breath sample results in an electrical current that the breath analyzer detects to calculate the blood alcohol content (BAC). Compared to semiconductor devices, they have more chances to sustain accuracy over a considerably longer time span and will not produce a false positive for individuals who are diabetic or on a low-calorie diet.  Furthermore, law enforcement and those wanting the highest level of accuracy employ fuel censor breath analyzers for roadside tests. As per estimates, more than 60% of breath analyzers are used by law enforcement across the world to assess blood alcohol content using fuel cell technology.

Application (Drug Abuse Detection, Alcohol Detection, Medical Applications)

The global breath analyzer market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into drug abuse detection, alcohol detection, and medical applications. Amongst these three segments, the alcohol detection segment is expected to garner a significant share. Alcohol consumption by the driver or person operating the car is a common cause of accidents nowadays. Throughout the years, the ability to detect alcohol in car systems has increased, which may one day prevent drunk driving incidents all around the world. For instance, vehicles should be equipped with or outfitted with an alcohol breath analyzer project, if the driver has ingested alcohol, the project for alcohol detection and vehicle control aids in controlling the vehicle. Furthermore, breath analyzer testing allows law enforcement to detect alcohol and catch drunk drivers before they cause any damage. Therefore, it is anticipated to surge the growth of the segment in the market.
