The North America breathalyzer market is projected to grow at a modest CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). The key aspect that drives the growth of the market includes increasing alcohol consumption, drug abuse, and stringent regulation towards adoption of breathalyzers for alcohol testing in various sectors, especially in transportation to limit drunk and drive accidents. In North America, the market is growing due to the high consumption of alcohol. Consumption of alcohol leads to drunk and drive accidents cases, due to which the adoption of a breathalyzer in the transportation and other sectors is high. According to the CDC, in 2018, 66.3% of the US population was estimated to had alcohol consumption in the past year. In the US, the young population is more susceptible to alcohol consumption. Among adults aged 18 or more, around 5.1% including men and women engaged in heavy drinking. Depression stressed life, work pressure is the major cause of alcohol consumption among the young population in the US.

Moreover, the funding raised by the key players to further advancements in breathalyzer technology such as fuel type to enhance their features is also fueling the market growth in North America. For instance, in August 2019, funding of $30 million was raised by Hound Labs Inc. to accelerate the commercial and manufacturing of dual marijuana and alcohol breathalyzer. Such type of funding is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. The adoption of wearable devices coupled with breathalyzer connectivity features anticipated to drive the market growth.

North America breathalyzer market is segmented based on application, technology, and end-user. On the basis of application, the global breathalyzer market is segmented into alcohol detection, drug abuse detection, and medical application. On the basis of technology, the market is classified into fuel cell technology, semiconductor oxide sensor technology, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and others. Among these, the fuel cell technology segment is projected to dominate the market and it is further expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for hand-held analyzers coupled with fuel cell technology and various advantages associated with them. Similarly, based on end-user, it is divided into healthcare facilities, law enforcement & military, government & private workplace, and others (transport).

Further, Abbott Laboratories, AK North America Tech Corp., Alcohol Countermeasure Systems (ACS) Corp, Andatech Private Ltd., BACtrack Breathalyzers / KHN Solutions Inc., Honeywell International Inc, Intoximeter Inc., Lifeloc Technologies Inc., MPD, Inc., PAS Systems International, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, are some of the prominent players functioning in the North America breathalyzer market. These market players are adopting various strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, new product launches, business expansion, and partnership collaboration to sustain themselves in the competition. For instance, in August 2019, St. Louis, MO-based Intoximeters had a partnership agreement with Abbott Laboratories to market its alcohol testing products with Abbott’s SoToxa Mobile Test System – a handheld oral fluid roadside testing solution that detects recent drug use. The device tests for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, methadone, amphetamine, and benzodiazepines. In 2017, Abbott inherited this device for  $5.3 billion with the acquisition of Alera.
