The breath analyzer is a hand-held medical device that is primarily used for onsite detection of alcohol or drug content in the blood through the exhaled breath. The analyzer operates by passing the exhaled breath through a solution of sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate. The solution changes color in proportion to the amount of the alcohol in the air sample, thereby depicting the alcohol content in the blood. It is a convenient and efficient tool that provides immediate and accurate results that is also used for the diagnosis of tuberculosis, asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Breath Analyzer Market Trends:
Increasing alcohol consumption, along with the rising instances of road accidents caused by the influence of alcohol and other drugs, represent as the key factors driving the growth of the market. In line with this, governments of various nations across the globe are implementing stringent regulations against drunk driving. Breath analyzers are extensively utilized by law enforcement agencies for the detection of alcohol in the breath and improving road traffic safety. Various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are also undertaking crucial steps and campaigning actively to raise awareness regarding substance abuse and the adverse effects of excessive alcohol consumption.
The rising demand for effective diagnosis of cancer and other diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is also providing a boost to the breath analyzer market growth. The device is widely used as a tool for smoking cessation and monitoring the levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaled breath. Other factors, including various technological advancements, such as the development of product variants that can be connected to Bluetooth for personal tracking, and analyzers equipped with fuel cell and semiconductor sensor technologies to provide more accurate results, are projected to drive the market further.
