The forensic sector is the one of the most growing business sector of the modern economy owing to technological changes and growing social demands. In 2017, polymerase chain reaction held the largest share in the global forensic technologies market owing to growth in DNA testing. For instance, DNA testing has led to initiation of Innocence Project in the U.S., which resulted in acquitting of 350 innocent Americas in 2017. Capillary electrophoresis is expected to exhibit fastest growth rate during the forecast period due to benefit such as increased resolution, higher speed, minimal consumption of sample, ease in handling and reduced risk of contamination.
North America Dominated the Global Forensic Technologies Market
In 2017, North America held the largest share in the global forensic technologies market owing to growing crime rates in the region, increased need for forensic research and access to latest technologically advanced forensic techniques. U.S. accounted for the lion’s share in North America. There has been an increase in the forensic laboratories in the country. For instance, the number of forensic laboratories rose from 300 in 1999 to 475 in 2017 owing to the growing demand for forensic analysis. Moreover, market experts suggest that the rate of digital crimes such as data espionage, cyber-based terrorism, computer intrusions, hacking, malware, and others are relatively higher in the Americas region. Europe is the second largest region in the global forensic technologies market, whereas Asia Pacific is projected to grow at fastest rate owing to growing crime rates in India, China other Asian countries. There is a growing demand for forensic investigation in telecom, power, oil and gas, railways and airports due to terrorism and increasing crimes in the region.
