The global forensic technologies market size is estimated to be USD 16.81 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 11.95% during the forecast period. Rise in the number of criminal acts such as rape, murder, intentional homicide, and robbery is a key driver for the growth of the global forensic technologies market. Additionally, the integration of advanced technology in judicial sector, increasing public private funding, and improvement in molecular diagnostic techniques are some of the other drivers propelling the market growth. However, the patent expiration concerns are expected to restrain the global market growth.

By Type

Based on type, the market is segmented into capillary electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing, automated liquid handling technology, rapid DNA analysis, microarrays, and others. In 2020, the capillary electrophoresis segment accounted for the largest revenue share with lucrative CAGR during the forecast period. This is owing to factors such as improved resolution, higher speed, minimal cross-contamination risks, remote data analysis, reduced sample requirement, and convenient technique application worldwide. Next-generation sequencing segment projected to grow at a profitable CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to enhanced capability of identifying the human in tarnished biological samples and improved testing for paternity.

By Services

Based on services, the market is categorized into chemical analysis, DNA profiling, firearms identification, biometric analysis, and others. In 2020, the chemical analysis segment accounted for a significant revenue share due to large application of this segment in fire debris analysis, toxicology studies, bloodstain pattern analysis, alcohol testing, serology, fingerprinting, and trace evidence analysis worldwide. The DNA profiling segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to broad application in paternity testing, body fluid identification, drug abuse investigation, and disaster victim’s identification.

By Application

Based on application, the market is categorized into biodefense & bio surveillance, pharmacogenetics, judicial/law enforcement, and others. The judicial/law enforcement segment accounted for the maximum revenue in 2020 and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The rising government initiatives to build global DNA databases of population are a key factor that drives the segment growth. Biodefense & bio-surveillance segment is anticipated to grow at a profitable CAGR during the forecast period owing to lucrative market opportunity for constraining bio-terrorism activities at global front.

By Location

Based on location, the market is categorized into laboratory forensic technology and portable forensic technology. The laboratory forensic technology segment accounted for the highest revenue in 2020 and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. This is owing to the adoption of large and bulky testing instruments primarily designed for the large sample volume testing. The portable technology segments is anticipated to grow at a profitable CAGR during the forecast period owing to adoption of portable/ hand held devices on criminal sites and for traffic security.

Regional Insights

In 2020, North America accounted for the highest revenue share in the global market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to the large criminal cases, strong judicial system with advanced forensic infrastructure, and high investments in forensic technologies in this region. Asia Pacific market is projected to exhibit the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the government investment in forensic technologies, escalating terrorism activities, and rising criminal activities in this region.
