The Breath Analyzers Market size is estimated to grow by USD 3.36 billion at a CAGR of 15.82% between 2023 and 2028.
The increasing awareness of breath analyzers is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the global breath analyzers market. In addition, the growing number of road accidents that involve alcohol-impaired drivers has led to the awareness of breath analyzers among consumers. For instance, almost 20-50 million people are injured or disabled each year because of road accidents. As a result, this ultimately led to the initiation of several programs and campaigns to increase awareness of DUI and breath analyzers. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market growth during the forecast period.

The fuel cell segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 730.33 million in 2018. Moreover, fuel cell technology is more common in developed countries such as the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, and most European countries due to strict road safety regulations and control in these countries, as well as the ease of availability of these devices in developed countries. In addition, with constant improvements and innovations in terms of sensor technology and design, these devices will become more accurate and less expensive, which will fuel market growth. Therefore, the increase in demand for fuel cell technology will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
There is increasing adoption of breath analyzers in the law enforcement segment to detect alcohol and drug abuse. In addition, these devices are commonly used in driving under the influence (DUI) and road accidents to test the driver's BAC to check if it is above the legal limit. Moreover, the legal BAC differs from region to region and is 0.08% on average. If the level is above the average, the driver could be charged with DUI. In addition, portable fuel cell-based breath analyzers are often used by law enforcement personnel to quickly measure BAC readings. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The enterprise segment comprises workplaces such as offices, factories, and other similar work environments. In addition, the mining, construction, food services, and entertainment work environments have the highest alcohol abuse rates. For instance, Among serious workplace accidents in the world, over 22% of them were a result of alcohol or other substance abuse such that in these cases, more than 70% of the people who suffered injuries were not intoxicated. Therefore, the rapid increase in the number of alcohol and drug abuse cases at workplaces led to the passing of several laws to control and regulate such occurrences and reduce workplace risks. Hence, such regulations are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 28% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. One of the main regions where there is significant market growth is North America as the stringent road safety regulations and the relatively stronger infrastructure of law enforcement agencies in the region. In addition, the US is one of the key countries contributing to the growth in North America. Moreover, factors such as strict traffic safety laws, faster adoption of technically advanced products, and the presence of major players in the region, particularly within North America are fuelling the market growth in the region.
Furthermore, the growth in North America is the rise in the number of startups entering the market with innovative and user-friendly products, making the market more competitive. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in North America during the forecast period.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global breath analyzers market witnessed a significant slowdown due to the shutdown of operations in manufacturing facilities, including breath analyzers in North America. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the restoration of operations in manufacturing units. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The rapid growth of e-commerce is notably driving the market growth. The rapid growth of e-commerce is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global breath analyzer market. The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry over the past couple of years has led to various opportunities for breath analyzer manufacturers with respect to supply and expansion. With 35% of global sales and orders of breath analyzers coming through e-commerce retailers, this channel has certainly contributed to the growth of the market over the past few years. The global e-commerce industry is growing at a significant rate in the emerging economies.
Moreover, e-commerce has enabled manufacturers to cater to new regions and has also simplified distribution. This trend is expected to make the market more accessible for vendors and for end-users, thereby driving the market growth. Hence, the rapid growth of e-commerce with respect to manufacturer supply and expansion will drive the growth of the global breath analyzer market during the forecast period.
Advanced and smart breath analyzer devices are an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Advanced and smart breath analyzer devices are one of the major trends driving the growth of the global breath analyzer market. Since 2005, breath analyzers have seen massive upgrades, leading to the introduction of devices that are smaller, more advanced, smart, more user-friendly, and more aesthetically appealing. The interface in most devices has become more user-friendly, which allows users to switch between various custom-made modes. It also connects and synchronizes with the user's personal devices, such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops, via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This is particularly useful for law enforcement officers who often have database access to systems that are onboard their vehicles.
Moreover, this has led to the introduction of many sleek, simple, and portable products that can integrate their functions with several devices, thereby creating an ecosystem for the users. Almost all the prominent manufacturers of breath analyzers have these features. They aim to introduce incremental changes to make their offerings better every year. Thus, advanced and smart breath analyzer devices are expected to drive the growth of the global breath analyzer market during the forecast period.
Possible inaccuracy in reading is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The inaccuracy in the reading of breath-analyzing devices is one of the major challenges in the global breath-analyzer market. Portable breath analyzers may provide inaccurate results in certain instances due to their inability to distinguish alcohol from other chemical compounds that contain a methyl group structure. This is particularly witnessed in those devices that employ semiconductor sensor technology. The problem usually arises from reducing the size of the sensors to make the device more portable. These devices are not able to distinguish whether alcohol molecules are coming from the lungs, mouth, or esophagus. Substances such as mouthwash, lip gloss, dentures, and even inhalers used for asthma may also alter BAC readings by a small amount.
However, in certain cases, the breath sample of a diabetic patient may contain compounds such as acetone that would also register on a breath analyzer as alcohol. Another issue is that the BAC reading taken by these devices may see significant fluctuations from the actual BAC reading after an individual vomits, hiccups, coughs, or burps. Each type of technology used in making breath analyzers has a certain drawback, and this is likely to constrain the growth of the global breath analyzer market during the forecast period.
