The increasing use of alcohol among young adults and the elderly, abuse of prescribed medicinal drugs, and increasing usage of opioids and other illegal drugs are the main factors driving the drug testing equipment market. The burgeoning cases of illegal drug consumption and mounting crime rates related to drug abuse are further driving the demand for drug testing devices.
In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health issues were on the rise which lead to increased drug abuse among a few people which boosted the demand for drug testing devices. Likewise, drug traffickers have bounced back from previous setbacks caused by the lockdown and are now becoming more active in their drug abuse practices as it became easy due to digital currency transactions that work beyond the traditional financial system allowing increased anonymity. Therefore, the demand for drug testing and screening equipment is expected to rise.
Also, with marijuana or cannabis being the most commonly used illegal substance in a few markets, the demand for its testing kits and equipment is bound to increase. Apart from this, almost all sports organizations across the globe have stringent regulations on drug abuse since substance abuse and the use of performance-enhancing substances are becoming a trend in a few regions. Thus, many sports bodies like the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International sports federation (ISF), and other sporting bodies have incorporated the mandatory drug testing procedure for participants before taking part in the sporting event. This trend will directly fuel product demand in the coming years as well.
Besides this, intense competition among the manufacturers working on launching new drug testing devices in a broad range of categories is grabbing a big portion of the market. Furthermore, advances in technology are significantly fuelling the sales of these pieces of equipment. On the other hand, the launch of new drug abuse testing equipment makes presumptive drug testing as simple as alcohol testing with a preliminary breath tester. Intelligent Fingerprinting is a subsidiary of the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom which developed this technology to ease up the testing procedure.
This technology works by looking for metabolites of cocaine, cannabis, and opiates in perspiration present in a latent fingerprint. A metabolite is a substance formed when a drug is broken down or metabolized in the body. The researchers believe it can be further modified to detect other drugs as well like methamphetamine and MDMA. The testing method comprises coating the fingerprint in an antibody-covered particle microfluidic solution. The solution changes color when the antibodies bind to the drug and its metabolites.
Geographically, North America is expected to lead the drug testing equipment market by commanding over 46.4% market share by end of the forecast period. The growth is attributed to a strong presence of industry players implementing expansion strategies and strict norms for workplace testing. In addition, favorable reimbursement policies and the growing adoption of technologically advanced solutions in the region are further supplementing the market growth.
The market in Asia Pacific is expected to witness a significant CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period due to the surging demand for drug and substance abuse screening from emerging economies, such as India and China. Further, the growing prevalence of drug abuse disorders, drug-related crimes, and a surge in road accidents is expected to propel the demand for drug testing devices in this region.
