Extensive research carried out by the market research analysts at Technavio has shown that the global connected breath analyzer devices market will witness steady growth at a CAGR of close to 1% during the forecast period. Connected breath analyzers are mostly used for detecting and measuring the BAC associated with alcohol and drug abuse cases. However, these devices are being increasingly used for detecting medical conditions in the healthcare industry. In the last few years, connected breath analyzers are used in hospitals and clinics to detect jaundice in babies, lactose intolerance, and testing the effectiveness of asthma drugs in patients. The growing popularity of these devices combined with the advances in technology has led to the increasing use of breath analyzers for the early diagnosis of medical disorders including lung cancer and tuberculosis. Moreover, these devices are also used to understand whether a transplanted organ is accepted or rejected by the patient. Additionally, breath analyzers are also being used for the detection of H. pylori infection and can also be used by the consumers to track weight loss, lung capacity, and smoking cessation with the help of miniaturized breath analyzers that can be paired or integrated with the user’s smartphone. The extensive applications of smartphone breathalyzer devices in the healthcare industry will boost their adoption over the coming years.
One of the recent trends gaining significant traction in the market is the growing need for smarter, simpler devices. Breathalyzers have seen massive upgrades since 2005 and have led to the introduction of devices that are smaller, smarter, more user-friendly, and with more aesthetic appeal. The interface in the latest breath analyzers have become user-friendly and allows the user to switch between various custom-made user modes. It also allows the users to connect and synchronize the device with their personal devices such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This is particularly beneficial for law enforcement officers who often have a database access on systems that are onboard their vehicles. This has led to the introduction of sleek and portable pocket breathalyzers that could integrate its function with a number of devices and create an ecosystem for the user.
The global connected breath analyzer devices market is dominated by a handful of well-established vendors. The competitive environment is expected to intensify with the increase in the number of players, product extensions, and new applications of integrated product offerings. With the robust growth of the alcohol and drug testing markets in APAC and Latin America, particularly between 2016 and 2021, there is a massive potential for the growth of the market in these regions. The vendors compete in terms of quality, service, pricing, and product differentiation. The high growth rate in the portable breathalyzer market is likely to attract new players during the forecast period.
Key vendors in this market are -
During 2016, the individual consumer's segment dominated the market and will continue to lead the portable breathalyzer market over the next four years. The majority of vendors are increasingly marketing their connected breath analyzers on the basis of personal use. These connected breath analyzers are connected through a smartphone, wherein the user uses a dedicated app to measure the BAC content, and based on that decides their mode of transport. With the implementation of stringent government regulations and increasing number of drunk and driving cases, this segment is anticipated to have a positive outlook until the end of 2021.
In terms of geography, the Americas was the major revenue contributing region in the connected breath analyzer devices market. The growth of this market in the Americas is attributed to the stringent road safety regulations and the relatively stronger infrastructure of the law enforcement agencies. North America was the largest contributor in 2015, while the South American countries are likely to exhibit the highest growth rates between 2016 and 2021. Moreover, the US alone accounted for over one-sixth of the overall revenue during 2016 as the country is home to some of the biggest breath analyzer companies, such as BACtrack, Lifeloc Technologies, Intoximeters, Quest Products, and Akers Biosciences.
