Under technique falls three sub-segment which are PCR, capillary electrophoresis, and others.
The PCR segment was valued at USD 1,355.44 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. PCR is another promising forensic technique used in DNA fingerprinting for human identification. One of the key vendors in the PCR market, Agilent Technologies, Inc., has a wide range of product offerings that are used in forensic analysis. Agilent bioanalyzer and DNA 500 LabChip are used in mtDNA applications. Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer provides a short separation channel and the application of a high electrical field, which reduces the time of analysis. The instrument consists of a fluorescence detection system, resulting in superior detection sensitivity. These are the leading factors for the growth of the segment.
In forensic science, capillary electrophoresis enables the chemical analysis of organic and inorganic samples during DNA testing and forensic ballistics. The electrophoretic method is used to isolate and compare DNA and blood proteins, and also in forensic ballistics where analysis of inorganic substances such as gunshot residues from crime scenes with suspects, victims, or standard reference material can be carried out accurately. Factors driving the market growth in this segment include the technological advantages of this technique over other molecular separation methods, high accuracy and reproducibility, and the ability to handle high volumes of samples.
The others segment includes Rapid DNA Analysis, Next Generation Sequencing, Automated Liquid Handling Technology, and Microarrays. These types occupy smaller market shares compared to CE and PCR but hold great potential to witness an increase in their demand in the market during the forecast period. One key factor that is promoting the growth of the market in focus in this segment is the growing need for techniques that are cost-effective, less time-consuming, and have a minimum error rate.
The application segment is bifurcated by law enforcement agencies, healthcare, and others.
Forensic technologies play an important role in the law enforcement sector, as it helps in providing scientific information by analyzing physical evidence. It helps law enforcement agencies identify the crime victim, match suspected crimes, and absolve persons who are wrongly accused of crimes. Since every individual has a unique DNA, victims and criminals involved in criminal cases can easily be identified. The availability of such solutions in the market and the development of new ones are likely to drive the growth of the law enforcement agencies segment in the global forensic technologies market during the forecast period.

In the healthcare sector, forensic technologies are used for medical examinations, forensic pathology, and anthropology. It helps in identifying genetic diseases and analyzing patients for the same. In addition, it is used in medical research to develop medicines and treat diseases. As it requires high investment, the adoption rate of forensic technologies is low in many countries. Many vendors are investing in forensic technologies to provide better support to the stakeholders in the healthcare sector.
The other segment by application in global forensic technologies includes the banking and telecommunication sectors. Forensic technologies in these sectors are used to identify consumers and to track the genetics of an individual. The adoption of forensic technologies for these sectors is low, as there are a few vendors in the market, and their application is highly expensive. In addition, the lack of awareness of the advantages of forensic technologies for banking and telecommunication is limiting its acceptance among these end-users.

North America accounts for a significantly large share of the market. Huge government funding to forensic labs and the presence of major vendors such as Thermo Fisher Scientific and GE Healthcare, which have wide product offerings related to forensic technologies, are the factors driving the market growth in this region. The top three countries in this region are the US, Canada, and Mexico. Growing crime rates and government initiatives to combat issues such as homicides and drug trafficking in these countries have been increasing the demand for forensic technologies in the region.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the closure of forensic labs, which negatively impacted the regional market. However, the increased adoption of genome sequencing technology for monitoring the spread of COVID-19 boosted the demand for various forensic technologies in 2021. Moreover, with routine activities resuming in the region, forensic labs reopened in 2021. The increased healthcare expenditure in the region is expected to boost the growth of the market in North America during the forecast period.
There is high competition in the forensic technologies market. Among several market players, the organization Zentek Digital Investigations Ltd. stands out among the competitors due to technological innovation and the on-point marketing strategy.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The escalation in crime rates and the increasing complexity of criminal activities on a global scale necessitates the use of advanced technology and intelligence to effectively solve crimes. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) consider homicide rates, which are calculated as the number of murders per 100,000 inhabitants, to be a reliable indicator of a country's level of safety. Unlike other types of crimes that often go unreported, murders are usually reported and therefore provide a more accurate measurement. The World Bank Group reports that the global average homicide rate was 5.6 per 100,000 population in 2020, whereas the average homicide rate in OECD countries was 2.6 per 100,000 people. Forensic technologies have played an essential role in numerous criminal investigations. However, the rise in criminal cases has caused a backlog of pending cases, which necessitates the use of advanced forensic technologies. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of crime laboratories worldwide, and well-funded research has increased the demand for high-quality forensic products and services. These factors are expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
Police forces in the private sector are increasingly requesting the development of automated technologies which is the upcoming trend in the forensic market. Companies are responding by offering easy-to-use, portable products that can generate results in under an hour. Governments are funding projects to aid laboratories in developing such products, which will save significant time and costs.
One such product in the emerging field of portable crime-scene forensics technology involves high-resolution 3-D /images of shoeprints and tire tread marks in snow and soil. This system is more cost-effective than traditional plaster casting methods. Scientists are also working to miniaturize and make portable mass spectrometers, which could be useful for detecting chemical weapons or bombs in public places.
The National Science Foundation, NASA, and the US Department of Defense have all provided funding for research on new ion spectrometers, which are significantly smaller and lighter than traditional equipment. As a result, there is a growing demand for portable forensic technology, and vendors who can meet this demand are likely to see growth in the market.
Lack of technical know-how or technical professionals is restraining the market growth. It is essential for technology to be user-friendly, even for those without a background in computer science or digital evidence, especially in mobile forensics, which involves extracting data from cell phones. Skilled personnel typically handle this task in laboratories, but law enforcement needs to find ways to make their processes faster, more efficient, and easier to perform to keep up with the growing flow of data from various devices and apps.
In cases involving criminal enterprises such as human trafficking or narcotics networks, it is crucial to extract data quickly, or it may be erased before collection. There is often no time for laboratory analysis days after a crime has occurred. Therefore, it is necessary for tools to be user-friendly for non-experts at the crime scene. However, this can be challenging to achieve, and the demand for forensic technologies may be limited as a result. This limitation may hinder the growth of the global forensic technologies market during the forecast period.
