Global alcohol detection breathalyzer market

In 2015, breathalyzer segment occupied the maximum share of around 81% in the global alcohol testing equipment market. Breathalyzers have gained popularity among other alcohol testing kits as this equipment is easy to use and is recyclable. The increase of alcohol-related fatalities has led to the rise in frequency of conducting such tests which are likely to propel the demand for breathalyzers during the forecast period. Alcohol detection breathalyzers can be categorized into three categories such as fuel cell breathalyzers, infrared breathalyzers, and semiconductor breathalyzers. Among these, fuel cell technology is gaining huge traction in the market.

“Fuel cell technology offers greater accuracy, reliability, and mobility to devices, which acts as the major driver for this market segment’s growth. Since breathalyzers are easy to use and can be reused, they are more preferred by the law enforcement officers. Constant innovations in sensor and design have led to more precision in these devices, which are being widely used owing to their less costs,” says Abhay Sinha, a senior analyst at Technavio.

The strict road safety regulations and safety control properties of fuel cell technology have increased its adoption in developed countries such as Canada, the US, and European countries. Moreover, new smartphone breathalyzers are moving toward fuel cell technology for more exact outcomes.

Global alcohol detection urine test equipment market

The alcohol detection stripes used for detecting the presence of BAC in urine can reveal the presence of alcohol in urine with an accuracy of over 99%. Alcohol detection urine tests are preferred by home users to detect if any of their family members have been drinking in the recent past. One of the main elements in most of the urine alcohol detecting stripes is the presence of ethyl glucuronide (EtG), which clearly indicates that alcohol has been ingested. The easily usable property of this equipment will subsequently increase its demand among the government agencies and the residential sector for personal use.

Global alcohol detection saliva test equipment market

Saliva tests are more accurate than the breathalyzers, and unlike the urine test, saliva tests do not lead to privacy complaints and do not require bathrooms. Moreover, this equipment is very easy to use and requires no formal training. Saliva test equipment is mostly used by employers at workplaces to keep a check on the employees. These kits detect far lower levels of metabolites from drugs and alcohol than urine tests. As a direct observation of a saliva test is possible, there is no opportunity for sample tampering or swapping. These advantages indicate that the demand for saliva test stripes is likely to increase at schools, workplaces, and other places for more accurate results without any privacy issue. Since it is easy to manufacture alcohol saliva test strips, there are many regional and international manufacturers present in the market.

The top leading vendors operating in the global alcohol testing equipment market are:

• Alcohol Countermeasure Systems
• Drägerwerk
• Lifeloc Technologies

 Other prominent vendors in the market include Akers Biosciences, Alere, AlcoPro, BACtrack, C4 Development, EnviteC, Guth Laboratories, Intoximeters, MPD, PAS Systems, Quest Products, RDI, and Toshiba Medical Systems.
