DNA Forensics Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Source (Bones, Hair, Blood and Other Sources), By Technique (Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis, Capillary electrophoresis (CE) and Next generation sequencing (NGS)), By Application (Law enforcement, Biodefense, Healthcare and Other Applications) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global DNA Forensics Market is accounted for $2.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period. The use of DNA technology and DNA genetics in a legal context is known as DNA forensics. It serves as a national and international resource for information on DNA database advances. DNA databases are helpful in locating, identifying, and bringing criminals to justice. Genetic data is used in DNA forensics to examine criminal and civil cases, conduct medical research, and identify people.

According to the Council of Criminal Justice, the prevalence of violence among younger people increased notably, with 40% of individuals arrested for murder aged between 20 to 29 years of age.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rise in number of missing persons reports worldwide

The demand for paternity testing in DNA forensics is being driven by the increase in reports of missing persons around the world. For instance, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) reported in its Missing Person & Unidentified Person report that there were 89,637 current missing person cases in the United States. Nearly 34% of these cases included minors younger than 18, necessitating paternity and family testing in order to conduct an inquiry. These factors are promoting growth of the market.

Restraint:

Lack of Government support

In the past, the use of DNA databases has been constrained by a lack of government support. However, the rising crime rate and the number of unresolved cases around the world, the standards and laws governing the use of DNA technology and DNA databases in forensics are changing.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements

The rapid development of forensic technology and the widespread application of methods like immunochromatography, biosensors, and DNA phenotyping for fingerprint analysis present significant opportunities. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) provides comprehensive information about the crime to the DNA forensic team and laboratory director. Using this precise information, the DNA forensic team keeps track of the data, identifies offenders, and convicts them. Additionally, the technique analyses genetic material, which assists in determining human genomes. An organization's sharing of this kind of data facilitates the establishment of cutting-edge technology, which is further anticipated to explore new market opportunities.

Threat:

Lack of skills

For a variety of analyses, forensic laboratories rely on trained technicians and medical specialists to minimise the chance of inaccurate conclusions. The forensic team investigates samples and the outcomes of subsequent tests to obtain data. Forensic scientists who analyse the results must be exact, highly analytical, and informed at the expert level. Furthermore, the lack of skilled medical personnel in emerging countries tends to impede the market's expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic had a serious adverse effect on the market. Local constraints on the movement of people and goods have impacted forensic laboratories' operations on a global scale. The significant reduction in the overall forensic lab budget in 2020 also contributed to the market's slow growth. The higher risk of contracting the SARS-COV-2 virus while handling biological materials like tissues and bodily fluids further limited the necessity for DNA forensics. Public and corporate organisations have emphasised classifying DNA tests as non-essential medical services in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Law enforcement segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Law enforcement segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period due to the demand for DNA forensic testing is growing as crimes become more prevalent. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, 40% of those arrested for murder were between the ages of 20 and 29. This indicates a significant rise in the incidence of violence among younger people. Additionally, DNA analysis is required to identify, discourage, and punish criminals who violate social norms and rules.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Owing to its critical function in amplifying DNA sequences from samples that are low in quantity and quality, the PCR amplification method is anticipated to witness highest CAGR during the projected period. Without many forensic samples, investigating crime scenes necessitates the use of PCR amplification to match up to a specific level before being sequenced. The demand for next-generation technology that can reproduce millions to billions of copies of a particular DNA segment is being fueled by an increase in the frequency of sophisticated crimes.

Region with largest share:

The global market for forensics technology was dominated by North America in 2020 and expected to continue hold the largest share during the forecast period. The market expansion of DNA forensics in North America is being driven by technical advancements in forensic sciences, high investigative consent for advanced forensic techniques like DNA profiling, and biometric analysis techniques. The market in North America has been growing as a result of the availability of sophisticated forensic laboratories equipped with cutting-edge forensic technologies.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to region's rapid expansion include rising crime rates, more government spending, and technological advancements. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) estimates that 1,197,704 violent crimes were registered; in the Asia Pacific region, rape and severe assault cases climbed by 6.3% in 2015 compared to 2014. Such factors are boosting the growth in this region.
