The global alcohol breathalyzer testing equipment market is expected to exhibit strong growth, reaching USD 12.1 billion by 2030. As per the report titled "Alcohol breathalyzer testing equipment Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Equipment Type (Alcosensor (Fuel Cells), Breathalyzer (Semiconductor), Chromatographic Instruments, Hair Testing Devices (Kits), Immuno Assay Analyzers, Intoxilyzer (IR), Oral Fluid Testing Devices (Saliva) and Urine Testing Devices (Kits, Cassettes, Cups, and Dips)), By Application (Alcohol Detection and Drug Detection), By End User (Federal Departments, Hospitals, Private Sectors and Rehabilitation Centers), and Regional Forecasts, 2023-2030" observes that the market size in 2022 stood at USD 8.2 billion and USD 12.1 billion in 2030. The market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.70% during the forecast period.
Breathalyzers LT7 and LX9 were Introduced by Lifeloc Technologies
In 2020, Launched by Lifeloc Technologies are the breathalyzers LT7 and LX9. These US DOT/NHTSA-approved breathalyzers are made with user-friendliness in mind for the workplace and law enforcement markets.
Stringent Regulations by Government to Accelerate Market Growth
The market is anticipated to develop as a result of strict government restrictions and laws intended to limit the occurrence of driving while under the influence of alcohol. The need for people to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and the increased knowledge of the dangers of drunk driving are two other important market drivers. As a result, there is a higher need for personal breathalyzer testing equipment, which enables users to quickly and simply check their own blood alcohol levels and decide whether to drive or not. For instance, starting on December 1, 2019, the state of New Jersey implemented new drunken driving laws that eliminate licence suspensions for the majority of first offenders while requiring ignition interlocks, the in-car breathalyzers that immobilise a vehicle if the driver's breath tests positive for too much alcohol.
Accuracy Issues of Alcohol Breathlyzers Testing Equipment Could Impede Growth
One of the potential market barrier for the technology used to test for alcohol in breathalyzers is accuracy problems. Despite the fact that breathalyzer testing equipment is typically trustworthy and accurate, there have been instances where the outcomes have been contested in court because of calibration problems or other circumstances. Some users may become sceptical as a result, which may affect demand for the device. Additionally, there can be issues with the equipment's accuracy under specific conditions. One person's medical condition or medication use, for instance, can have an impact on the accuracy of the breathalyzer testing apparatus. This may result in legal issues, especially if the equipment is the only thing presented as proof of drunk driving.
Major Players Develop Acquisition Plans to Boost Brand Image
