Global DNA forensics market is expected to grow exponentially through 2032 owing to the rising criminal activities across the world.

Private and public agencies are progressively focusing on the commercialization and development of advanced technologies in DNA forensics as DNA testing frequently assists investigators to push the investigation in the right direction. Forensic laboratories are looking for effective ways to reduce the backlog while enhancing overall laboratory productivity as the number of DNA testing cases is on the rise.

For instance, in August 2020, Illumina, Inc., a biotechnology company based in the US introduced the NovaSeqTM 6000 v1.5 Reagent Kit for whole sequencing. The product launch was intended to expand the company's line of offerings while maximizing its competitive advantage in the field of sequencing technologies.

The DNA forensics market has been divided in terms of solutions, method, application, and region.

Based on solutions, the kits segment was valued at more than $631 million in 2022. DNA forensics kits include tools for DNA extraction, DNA purification, and evidence gathering, among others. These are mostly used for a variety of procedures, from gathering evidence to evaluating and storing it. Such applications are likely to foster the industry growth through the forecast period.

Considering the application spectrum, criminal testing segment is estimated to grow substantially in the ensuing years. Rising number of crimes globally would surge the demand for DNA forensics, complementing the market growth trajectory.

With respect to method, the next-generation sequencing segment is estimated to witness high gains over the review timeline. The methodology boasts the potential to boost molecular applications in forensic science by offering solutions to challenges of traditional sequencing methods. The fundamental benefit of NGS includes that it uses a significant number of genetic markers and high-resolution genetic data, supporting in overcoming difficulties such as handling tiny, deteriorated samples and combination analysis.

From the regional perspective, the Middle East & Africa DNA forensics market was valued at $150 million in 2022. The regional market is expected to grow steadily by the end of the research timeline as the government agencies in the area are reportedly placing more emphasis on forensic science by raising the forensics budget and putting plans for the development of DNA forensics into action.

Meanwhile, the Latin America DNA forensics industry is set to expand at 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 attributed to the increasing adoption of DNA forensics in both private and public sectors. In addition, the increasing criminal activities in the LATAM region are further expected to spur market growth during the forthcoming years.
