Forensic Technologies Market: Overview

Forensic technology is the scientific method of investigating, looking for, recovering, and analysing evidence acquired at the scene of a crime. The system enables the user to gather data for investigations, litigation, regulatory, and financial crime requirements. To perform forensic investigations, a variety of processes and equipment, such as information accumulation and charting tools, recordkeeping systems (RMS), closed circuit televisions (CCTV), licence plate recognition (LPR) systems, and DNA confirmation equipment, are employed. Sophisticated technology, such as alternative light photography, which employs blue and orange light filters to detect the amount of skin damage, as well as facial reconstructions and drug testing, have become frequently employed as part of forensic inquiry in recent years.

Forensic technology is used for identification, interpretation, and assessment of substantial evidence gathered from the site of the crime. Intentional homicide, murder, rape, and robbery are the primary reasons propelling the need for forensics, thereby fueling market growth. According to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in their last study conducted in 2012, the global average of intentional homicide was reported to be 6.2 per 100,000 people. In addition, amongst all regions, Americas accounted for the highest rate of intentional homicide followed by Africa and Asia.

According to FBI, in the U.S., there were 5.3 murders per 100,000 people on 2016 which has resulted in the increased growth of global forensic technology market as governments are using forensic technology to be also some of the drivers for the demand in the forensic technology market. The market is also driven by the increase in investments by public and private organizations for forensic research. For instance, the Debbie Smith Act provides grants to United States federal government to conduct DNA analyses of backlogged DNA samples collected from crime sites. Due to the high cost of the equipment and technologies, many emerging nations cannot afford it. This acts as a restraint for the growth of the forensic technology market.
