Competitive rivalry intensifies with Bedfont Scientific Ltd, Healius Limited, MD Diagnostics Ltd and others operating in the market.

Breath testing is a non-invasive technique for diagnosing several metabolic diseases because it examines the presence of various gases in a patient's breath. Hydrogen breath tests are frequently used to understand better the pathophysiology of metabolic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Hydrogen breath tests can detect two main diseases: carbohydrate malabsorption and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). When there is a problem with food digestion or absorption in the small intestine, more undigested food can reach the colon or when colon bacteria return to the small intestine, a lot of hydrogen is produced. As they save time and deliver quick results, hydrogen breath test analyzers are growing in popularity.
