How
Is The Drug Abuse Testing Devices Market Globally?
Until
1980’s, the research and investment in this field was minimal, which resulted
in poor technological growth and as a result, urine and oral fluid were the
most commonly used samples for drug testing.
Currently,
the market is in its growing stage and with drugs such as marijuana becoming
legal in many countries, their government has started investing more in drug
abuse prevention. For example, the US government spent USD ~ million in the FY’2018
for screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for drug usage.
Globally marijuana, hashish, cocaine and bhang are the most widely used drugs,
with an estimated ~ million users (~million to ~million) constituting ~ % of
the global population ages 15–64 years.
New technologies such as use of eye movements to detect past and current
habits of drugs and alcohol consumption are being introduced into the market. The camera will behave very similar to a lie detector
by capturing 60 involuntary eye movements per second through a series of true
or false questions.
Since this market has a number of substitutes available, the
companies in this field are focusing on developing technologies which would
make drug testing convenient, increase test accuracy and reduce time taken to
provide the results. A number of new samples such as hair and sweat have been
introduced for the same purpose. Workplace testing has become popular across
the world and companies are also introducing packages for the same. For example,
“The Drug Testing Index of Quest Diagnostics” includes a large national
representative sample size, longitudinal monitoring and a testing population
that is generally a reflective of the US workforce.
How
Is Global
Drug Abuse Testing Devices Market Segmented?
By
Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA)
The North American region accounted for
the highest market share in terms of revenue by capturing ~% in 2019. USA being
the major exporter of these devices. It
was followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific and the LAMEA region. The strict laws in
the LAMEA region stating death penalties in case of drug consumption has
reduced drug intake massively.
By
Products
Consumables accounted for the maximum
share in the global market as these products cannot be used more than once. It
was followed by analysers and then the rapid testing devices (urine testing
devices and oral fluid testing devices)
By
End Users (Criminal Justice Systems, Work Places and Schools, Hospitals,
Research Laboratories and Others)
The criminal justice systems had the
majority share in the market accounting for a total of ~%. In order to maintain
decorum and safety of employees, a number of workplaces have started
introducing random drug testing. The research laboratories had the least
revenue share as they preferred to use biggest and complex devices for their
research. The other end users include sports authorities and custom duties
which have also started using these devices extensively.
Snapshots
Of Region Profile- North America
The regional snapshots give an understanding about how the
market has been forming in the region. The North American region dominates the
global market followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific and the LAMEA region.
Snapshots
Of Country Profile- United States Of America
The country snapshots give an overview of the drug abuse
testing devices market in the region along with their further segmentation. For
USA, the consumables led the market. With respect to rapid testing devices
urine testing devices were more in demand within USA in 2019. Being a major exporter
of drug abuse testing devices to the rest of the world, majority of the
products were produced within the country.
How
Is The Competitive Landscape Of The Global Drug Abuse Testing Devices Market?
The global drug abuse testing devices
market has a number of players producing devices using different technologies.
The major companies in this market include Quest Diagnostics, Abbott
Laboratories, Siemens Group (Healthineers) and Danaher Corporations. The other
companies include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Dragerwerk AG, Hoffmann-La Roche
AG, Bio-Rad Laboratories, OraSure Technologies, and Waters Corporation. The
factors on the basis of which major players compete include accuracy of
devices, price, technology used, samples used, time taken for results and ease
of use of these devices.
