Analysts’ Viewpoint on U.S. Roadside Drug Testing Devices Market Scenario
The roadside drug testing devices market in the U.S. has been witnessing strong growth over the last few years due to the increase in consumption of various illicit drugs and alcohol in the country. Currently, cannabis is used in medicines to treat various conditions. This has led to legalization of the drug, which in turn has increased the drug consumption rate. Drug-impaired driving is responsible for a large number of accidents. It has resulted in an increase in demand for roadside drug testing in order to prevent accidents. Manufacturers should focus on developing advanced drug testing devices such as mobile alcohol breathalyzers to increase revenue opportunities.
Roadside drug testing devices are used to identify drugs consumed by an individual while driving. Devices used for drug testing include breathalyzers and drug test kits. It has become mandatory to conduct drug driving testing to prevent accidents and mishaps. In 2020, around 11,654 people died due to alcohol-impaired driving in the U.S., a 14% increase over that in 2019. Increase in the number of drug and alcohol abusers in the U.S. presents significant opportunities for test providers and manufacturers of drug abuse test products in the market.

Substance abuse has a significant effect on the health of individuals and their families. Abuse of prescription drugs or nonmedical use of prescription drugs has become a grave public health concern owing to its high prevalence and mortality rate in the U.S. Several individuals consume such drugs and drive, which leads to major accidents. Hence, roadside drug screening devices are used regularly to test individuals. This, in turn, propels the market in the country.
Rise in prescription drug abuse increases the rate of overdose deaths and emergency room visits. Consumption of non-medical prescription drugs is rising at a rapid pace. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), around 52 million people have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons at least once in their lifetime. Vicodin and OxyContin are the most abused prescription drugs among the young population.
Technological advancements related to sample collection and efforts of manufacturers to create easy-to-use disposable test kits are expected to boost the demand for roadside drug testing devices. Manufacturers are focusing on using samples other than urine, such as sweat and hair, which are less embarrassing for individuals tested for drug abuse. They are also focusing on the development of rapid tests that provide faster results; and are easy to use and more affordable than wet tests. For instance, the DDS2 Mobile Test System, designed and manufactured by Alere, Inc. (Abbott), is a next-generation portable drug testing device. It detects if a driver is addicted to cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, and methamphetamines in a single oral fluid test within five minutes.
