U.K. Drug for Abuse Testing Devices – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Drug for abuse testing devices are used for alcohol detection and drug detection. Some of the devices used for alcohol and drugs testing include Breathalyzer, intoxilyzer, Alco-sensor, and oral fluid testing devices. These devices are used in various sectors such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, federal departments, construction, transportation, and private sector. COVID-19 crisis has significantly disrupted all the supply chains of these devices. The pandemic's impact has been overwhelmingly negative in many areas, the MedTech industry has experienced both ups and downs throughout the crisis. Manufacturers of medical devices also suffered due to the pandemic such as pharmaceutical firms, medical devices manufacturers rely heavily on healthcare facilities to obtain data from clinical trials. Most medical device products must pass pre and post-market clinical trials before manufacturers can receive regulatory approval certificates. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, medical device companies struggle to make informed decisions about their products, supply chains, and regulatory responsibilities amid uncertainty. Announcements from the governing bodies and discussions with key decision makers and regulatory experts are critical to the medical device industry's success.

Key Takeaways of the U.K. Drug for Abuse Testing Devices Market:
- The U.K. drug for abuse testing devices market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period, owing to increasing incidence drunk and drive cases, and drug addiction and this is further expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the National Health Service U.K. report published in August 2019, cannabis was the most commonly used drug by respondents in the 2018/19 Crime Survey for England and Wales, with 7.6% of adults aged 16 to 59 having used it in 2017-2018, equating to around 2.6 million people.
- Among product type, consumable segment accounted for the largest market share in U.K drug for abuse testing devices market in 2020, owing to increasing approval of novel products. For instance, in 2019, the U.K government granted the first license for a drug-testing clinic at Weston-super-Mare (U.K), where any individual in the U.K can submit illegal substances to be checked without fear of arrest. With launch of such labs will drive demand for consumables for conducting test, which expected to drive growth of the segment.
- On the basis of sample type, urine segment is expected to witness highest growth in the U.K. drug for abuse testing devices market in 2020. The urine segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the increasing incidence of opioid addiction and need for drug testing in places such as drug rehabilitation centers, workplace drug testing, and medico-legal situations require urine sample. On the other hand, in case of alcohol testing, urine testing is done only if other tests are not available, as urine testing cannot be conducted on the spot of the incident (traffic stop) and sample is affected, as the time passes.
