Breathalyzers are small, portable devices that can detect and measure the amount of alcohol in a person’s breath. They work by using a fuel cell sensor that reacts to the presence of alcohol vapors on one’s breath. The device then translates this into a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading which can determine if a driver is legally intoxicated or not. Breathalyzers provide law enforcement with an accurate, non-invasive way to test drivers for impairment and curb drunk driving accidents.
The global Breathalyzers Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 10.6 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the breathalyzers market is the development of touchscreen based breathalyzers. Touchscreen breathalyzers provide users with an intuitive interface and display BAC readings clearly. They are gaining popularity as they are more user friendly compared to traditional models. Cannabix Technologies Inc. recently launched a marijuana breathalyzer called Cannabix which uses a touchscreen interface. Such innovations are expected to support the market growth. Another important trend is the miniaturization of breathalyzer technology. Major players are focused on developing compact models that can easily fit into cars or pockets. For instance, DrinkMate’s latest breathalyzer weighs less than 3 ounces and easily clips onto a sun visor. The diminutive sizes improve portability and convenience.
