Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/23/2016 -- Report forecast the global alcohol testing equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 24.29% during the period 2016-2020.

Alcohol testing equipment is used to determine the blood alcohol concentration from a test sample of a person. It is largely used by law enforcement agencies and hospitals worldwide. Alcohol detection breath analyzers/breathalyzers, urine testing kits, and saliva test equipment are widely used for the purpose of detecting alcohol concentration in the blood. The breathalyzer device is commonly used for estimating BAC from a breath sample. Breathalyzers do not measure BAC directly, as it involves the person's blood sample. Instead, these devices estimate BAC by measuring the amount of alcohol present in one's breath.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global alcohol testing equipment market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the worldwide retail sales of the different types of alcohol testing equipment

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- Americas
- Europe
- North America
- ROW

According to the report, one of the primary drivers in the market is increasing drunk driving fatalities. The driver should be alert, attentive, and have the ability to make a quick decision while driving. This is majorly impaired if the driver is drunk. As alcohol does not require digestion and is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, it immediately affects the drinker. The judgment power of the person is impaired and thus they can be a threat to road safety. Under the influence of alcohol, the driver tends to take more risks, becomes a potential threat on the roads.

Further, the report states that one major challenge in the market is health risks associated with breathalyzers. Law enforcement agencies often use a variety of tools to determine if a driver's level of intoxication is within the legal limit to reduce the risk of DUI. Breathalyzers are the most commonly used devices to test the BAC in such instances. In most developing countries where there is less awareness about the need for hygiene, the breathalyzers used by government authorities are either unhygienic, unsterilized, or used multiple times over a short span of time without changing the mouthpiece. Most developed countries have switched to breathalyzers with a disposable mouthpiece, which may increase running costs for the authorities but is a much safer option for the individuals who are undergoing the tests. The repeated use of the same mouthpiece in breathalyzers could result in a tested individual becoming infected with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, and even human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This may serve as a temporary setback to the growth of the global breathalyzer market during the forecast period.
