According to a new report of Persistence Market Research, the Portable Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzer Segment accounted for over 52% revenue share in the global Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzer market in 2017. Handheld Hydrogen Breath Analyzers that measure the exhaled breath are also gaining ground as they are more compact, easy to use, patient friendly, and superior in quality. Moreover, the shift from invasive to non-invasive diagnosis is increasing the popularity of Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers in the market, which will further increase the growth of the other segments in near future.
Evolving technological preferences and improvements in Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers in recent years have resulted in reduced hospital visits, which is a primary factor predicted to contribute to the growth of the global Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers market. With increasing adoption of Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers in the market, manufacturers have started developing collection kits and compact sized devices, which are more economical. These kits are disposable and allow for a proper breath sample to be collected and further analyzed using hydrogen breath testing devices.
Patients have to collect samples individually, which does not require much expertise and can mail their breath samples back to the office or laboratory for analysis. These pocket-sized Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers do not require invasion of a needle into the body and enable a reliable direct measurement at bedside. Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzers are being adopted among end users as they help in avoiding multiple re-visits to hospitals, which has further resulted in strong market penetration of hydrogen breath analyzers over the years.
The Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzer market is consolidated in nature, with three players accounting for majority of the global revenue. However, distributors in the Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzer market are spread across the world. Hydrogen Breath Test Analyzer companies operating in the market are focusing on launching of better and advanced products to further increase sensitivity and avoid false positive tests during diagnosis of diseases.
