The Global Breath Analyzer Market- Growth, Trends, COVID-19 impact and Forecast (2021-2025)
The Breath Analyzer Market is segmented by Technology (Fuel Cell Technology, Semiconductor Sensor, Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and Others); Application (Alcohol Detection, Drug Abuse Detection and Medical Applications); Geography (North America, Europe, APAC and ROW).
Introduction
Breath analyzer is a scientific device that is used to measure the concentration of alcohol in an individual’s bloodstream. The breath analyzer works by analyzing a person’s breath to detect the level of alcohol that the individual has in his or her body.
Breath analyzers are considered as fundamental tool for the detection of drugs, alcohol, tuberculosis, asthma and other diseases. Strict implementation of road safety laws across the world and rising demand for efficient as well as accurate alcohol and narcotics detection devices are primarily propelling the market growth.
However, conflict over the accuracy of different types of analyzers, high susceptibility to external factors like temperature, BMI of subject, and certain prescription drugs can hinder growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted healthcare industry. But the demand for breath analyzer market is likely to increase during this pandemic period. These technologies are mainly helpful in safely detecting the COVID-19 patients and suspected cases.
