Market Insights
Growing Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol-Impaired Accidents
According to the World Data report published in 2022, the average consumption of alcohol across the world is 6.182 liters per person. The World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that excessive alcohol consumption results in 3 million deaths every year (representing 5.3% of the overall deaths worldwide), causing harm to the well-being and health of people. Additionally, 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury caused to an individual due to alcohol drunken driving causes social and economic losses to individuals and society. Excessive alcohol consumption results in road traffic crashes and accidents. The US Department of Health & Human Services report reveals 11,654 deaths due to motor vehicle crashes caused by alcohol-impaired drivers, accounting for 30% of all traffic-related deaths in the US in 2020. There was a 14.3% rise in 2020 compared to alcohol-impaired deaths in 2019. Also, the annual estimated healthcare cost of treatments and deaths due to accidents caused by alcohol-impaired drivers was US$ 123.3 billion in 2020.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced the installation of in-vehicle alcohol detection technology, lowering the blood alcohol concentration limit to 0.05 g/dl or lower, to prevent alcohol and other drug-impaired driving crashes after an incident happened in California that killed nine people, including seven children. Therefore, the rising number of deaths due to accidents caused by drunken driving accelerates demand for breath analyzers.
Future Trend
Technological Advancements in Breath Analyzers
Technological advancements in breath analyzers are based on the portability of devices and smart sensors offering multifaceted applications. Portable breath analyzer can provide positive results with accuracy and is also utilized for screening purposes. Additionally, the analyzer devices are available at an affordable, low cost for personal uses. Other advanced breath analyzer technology devices such as evidential breath testing devices are generally expensive and require regular maintenance, repair, and calibration. Also, advanced breath analyzers include fuel cell breath analyzers and infrared sensor devices. Fuel cell breath analyzers provide more accurate results than other breath analyzers. Also, these analyzers are available at mid to high prices for the affordability range of consumers. Manufacturers incorporate a slightly higher technology in the fuel cell breath analyzer to reduce false results and bring superior products to the market. The Super Safety Services company's "ALX1000" is one such example of a fuel cell type alcohol sensor breath analyzer. The product has an ignition interlock device installed in automobiles. After installation of ALX1000 in the car, the drivers must be tested for alcohol. Therefore, technological advancements in breath analyzers would drive the breath analyzer market growth in the coming years.

Report Segmentation and Scope
- Sample PDF showcases the content structure and the nature of the information with qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Technology-Based Insights
Based on technology, the breath analyzer market is segmented as fuel cell technology, semiconductor sensor, infrared spectroscopy, and others. The fuel cell technology segment held a larger market share in 2022. Breath analyzers working on fuel cell technology consist of sensor devices comprising a platinum (Pt) anode compartment and a cathode to react with the ethanol and water in the breath sample during the breath test. To ensure accuracy, a precise sampling pump is utilized to draw the sample, specifically chosen to fit the fuel cell's specifications. The fuel cell sensor circuit produces an electric potential without any need for a power source during the oxidation reaction of ethanol in the sample. Fuel cell technology offers a perfect solution for portable screening devices due to its compact size and low power consumption. Law enforcement agencies commonly rely on electrochemical fuel cell technology for handheld screening devices, which provide highly accurate results. Although fuel cell breath analyzers may require a higher manufacturing cost, their reliability and precision make them a worthwhile investment. Overall, fuel cell technology presents an exciting opportunity for advancing screening capabilities and enhancing public safety. Therefore, the applications mentioned above drive the breath analyzers market growth for the fuel cell technology segment.
Application-Based Insights
Based on application, the global breath analyzer market is segmented as drug abuse detection, alcohol detection, and medical applications. The medical application segment held the largest market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030. In recent years, breath analysis has emerged as one of the most promising noninvasive diagnostic methods, attracting significant research interest. The method involves detecting gas analytes such as exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic gases, which are considered essential biomarkers for various diseases. Recent advancements in metabolomics have led to improved capabilities to explore human metabolic profiles in breath. Despite some challenges in sampling and analysis, exhaled breath is a desirable medium for metabolomics applications. It is convenient and practically limitless in availability. Currently, several breath-based tests are established and in practical and clinical use. In an article published by Biomedical Signal Processing and Control in September 2021, a study carried out using a breath analyzer for the assessment of patients’ breath print to diagnose chronic kidney disease resulted in 85.7% accuracy using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) coefficient as feature sets.
In April 2022, the US FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the first InspectIR COVID-19 Breathalyzer that detects chemical compounds in breath samples to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infection.
End User-Based Insights
In terms of end user, the breath analyzer market is segregated as law enforcement agencies, hospitals & diagnostic centers, and others. The hospitals & diagnostic centers segment held a larger share of the market in 2022 and is anticipated to register a higher CAGR during 2022–2030.
Hospitals and diagnostic centers use breath analysis to study and detect breath biomarkers to diagnose any disease. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are breath biomarkers generated in the body that travel through the bloodstream, reach the alveolar interface, and are eventually expelled through exhalation. Analyzing exhaled breath for VOCs presence could reveal the health status of an individual, indicating whether they are diseased or healthy. Numerous studies have been carried out in laboratory settings to establish the efficiency and accuracy of breath analyzers in disease diagnosis. For instance, a team of researchers at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences (SNBNCBS) in Kolkata, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science & Technology of the Government of India, developed ‘Pyro-Breath.’ It is a new-generation noninvasive diagnostic strategy for an early and quick diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The technology utilizes a residual gas analyzer (RGA) to scan specific 'Breath-Print Masses (BPMs)' in real time.
Disease diagnosis using an electronic nose (E-nose) has also gained attention due to its ability to produce susceptible, rapid, and low-cost detection systems with reliable and reproducible results. For instance, in an article published by PubMed Central in August 2022, a study was carried out on 45 participants to assess the role of polymer-based e-nose in the detection of head and neck cancer using Cyranose 320 E-nose (Sensigent, Pasadena, CA, USA).
Additionally, the E-Nose Breathalyzer, developed at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, was presented to David Grant USAF Medical Center on October 21, 2020, at Travis Air Force Base.
Ongoing research and developments by research and diagnostic centers fuel the breath analyzer market growth for the segment.
