The global market for alcohol testing equipment is envisaged to witness promising growth and will post a CAGR of over 24% by the end of the forecast period. The growing use of personal breathalyzers is a critical factor that is responsible for the strong growth of this market during the estimated period. Alcohol enforcement is a priority for governments of all countries across the globe as they seek to prevent casualties caused by road accidents. This has led to growing awareness among the population about laws against drinking and driving. Consequently, the demand for personal breathalyzers has increased as these allow individuals to check whether they are below the legal limit and can drive. Also, since these devices are portable, easy to use, and reliable for personal use, many parents are utilizing these devices to monitor their children's drinking behavior.
Additional factors, such as touch sense for alcohol testing of employees, are also anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of this market during the next four years. In recent times, manufacturers have come up with advanced alcohol testing devices that are very easy to use. For instance, AlcoSense has introduced a TruTouch device for the alcohol detection of employees. The device measures blood alcohol content (BAC) in the skin with the help of near-infrared light. The users put their fingers on an optical touch pad, and the device gives a result within 10 seconds. Such devices are useful to detect alcohol for a huge number of employees and can be used without any supervision.
The global alcohol testing equipment market is dominated by a handful of companies and is highly competitive.

Extensive market research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the alcohol detection breathalyzers segment dominated this market during 2015. Much of this segment’s growth can be attributed to benefits such as its ease of use and reusability. Also, factors like rising instances of random breath tests, which are carried out in various regions and due to an increasing number of alcohol-related fatalities, will also lead to the strong growth of this product segment during the predicted period.
During 2015, it was observed that the North American region was the largest market for alcohol testing equipment due to the introduction of stringent laws against alcohol and drug abuse in countries such as the US. In this region, if people are found to be driving cars over the speed limit, or cause fatalities, police use alcohol testing equipment to check the sobriety of the drivers. Also, the extensive use of alcohol testing equipment at approved checkpoints in the US will lead to the strong growth of this market in North America.
