Human Identification Market By Product (Instruments, Assay Kits and Reagents, Software), By Technology (Polymerase Chain Reaction, Next-Generation Sequencing, Capillary Electrophoresis, Others), By Application (Forensic Applications, Paternity Identification, Others), By End User (Forensic Laboratories, Research Centers and Academic and Government Institutes): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

The human identification market was valued for $1,519.84 million in 2022 and is estimated to reach $3,705.38 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.3% from 2023 to 2032.

Human identification is a technique used for the identification of specific individuals or forensic investigations by analyzing data samples such as blood, hair, skin, teeth, and semen. It is a procedure, which is used to trace evidence of criminal activities by identifying any traces that might be left out at the place of the accident or crime. As each individual has different genetic makeup, the DNA analysis procedures plays a key role in identifying the criminal by examining the DNA samples found in the place crime site. Furthermore, the human identification techniques such as DNA analysis also plays a major role in identifying the unnamed human bodies which were victims of natural disaster or man-made disasters such as fire burn victims.

The global human identification market is majorly driven by use of human identification techniques for criminal identification, rise in government initiatives and funds for forensic laboratories, rise in the number of instances of identity theft and fraud. Rise in criminal cases, which require DNA analysis to identify the criminal for example sexual assault cases plays a significant role in driving technological advancements in the human identification market, thus leading to its substantial growth. As criminal activities become more sophisticated and challenging to combat, law enforcement agencies and security organizations are compelled to seek innovative solutions to identify and apprehend perpetrators. This need has spurred the development and adoption of advanced technologies for human identification.

According to FBI, in 2021, there were 690,158 violent crime incidents and 812,683 offenses reported in the U.S. Human identification techniques, which can be used to efficiently identify the criminal. In addition, according to a 2023 study report by National Library of Medicines, mosquito vectors captured at a crime scene are forensically valuable since they feed on human blood, and hence, human DNA can be recovered to help identify the victim and/or the suspect. The study was conducted, in which mosquitoes were membrane-feed on blood from six different sources: a human male, a human female, mixed human male-female blood, mixed human male-mouse blood, mixed human female-mouse blood, and mixed human male-female-mouse blood.

The results confirm the feasibility of human DNA identification from mosquito blood meals, even if it is mixed with other types of non-human blood, for up to 36 hours post-feeding. Therefore, blood-fed mosquitoes found at the crime scene are forensically valuable, as it is possible to obtain intact genetic profiles from their blood meals to identify a victim, or a potential offender, and/or exclude a suspect. Therefore, the efficiency of DNA analysis techniques to identify criminals is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.

Furthermore, governments across the globe have recognized the importance of human identification in various domains, including law enforcement, national security, disaster management, and immigration. As a result, they have implemented initiatives aimed at enhancing forensic capabilities and strengthening identification processes. For instance, the Government of India has taken many initiatives in the field of forensic science. A state-of-the-art DNA analysis lab has been set up in Chandigarh. Furthermore, Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) is being upgraded in various locations in the country such as Pune, Guwahati, Bhopal, and Kolkata.

Furthermore, in 2020, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which is the primary federal funder of forensic science research across all forensic disciplines, announced almost $17 million in funding to support 36 forensic science research and development projects. NIJ awarded over $264,000,000 through nearly 600 grants between 2009 and 2020 for R&D projects. Thus, rise in government funding to establish forensic research institutes is expected to drive the growth of the market.

In addition, identity theft and fraud have become significant issues in recent years. For instance, according to the Federal Trade Commission, in 2022, consumers reported losing nearly $8.8 billion to fraud, an increase of more than 30% over 2021. Furthermore, in 2022, over 1.1 million reports of identity theft were received by the Federal Trade Commission, which led to a greater emphasis on implementing stronger identification methods to verify the identity of individuals accurately.However, the high cost of genomic instruments is expected to restrain the growth of the human identification market. Moreover, the key development strategies adopted by market players are expected to present significant growth opportunities.
