Analysts’ Viewpoint on Forensic Technologies Market Scenario
Rotational working conditions will lead to reducing the chance of risk factors for COVID-19 infection spread in labs and the forensic science community. However, it has been found that computer forensics is still a fairly new concept and technicians, investigators or other stakeholders in the value chain may not understand it. Hence, analysts must be able to communicate the findings in a way that everyone in the forensic science community will understand. The DNA analysis segment is projected to expand at a better-than-average CAGR throughout the assessment period, owing to its ability to provide accurate and efficient results in short period of time at low cost. The Y-STR (Y Chromosome Short Tandem Repeat) sub-segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period in the forensic technologies market.
Stakeholders in the forensic technologies market should draw findings from mature markets such as the U.S. in North America to increase R&D in applications of scientific methods and techniques for investigation of crimes. Technicians and scientists in crime laboratories across the U.S. are working on developing technologies that could be effectively utilized to prevent the innocent from imprisonment and bring criminals to justice.
The growing acceptance of forensics by law enforcement agencies and private companies in various industries, including healthcare, has increased in North America. This explains why the region holds a dominant share of the market and is likely to retain its position even during the forecast period. The development of assistive and sophisticated healthcare infrastructure has led to improvements in the efficiency of forensic studies. This is expected to fuel the expansion of the market in North America.
Airborne transmission and long-lasting persistence of coronavirus particles pose serious threat for law enforcement agencies and forensic investigators. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many negative impacts on forensic investigation at the scene of a crime, thus affecting outcomes for laboratory examination, sample collection, transport, and storage of evidences.
Stakeholders in the forensic technologies market are adopting the best biosafety practices in the forensic science community, which includes law enforcement agencies. Such practices will help in balancing to conduct investigations and protection against novel viral infections by following the safety guidelines formulated by the concerned central and state governments.
In terms of location, participants in the global forensic technologies market are targeting their activities in portable forensics and laboratory forensics. The laboratory forensics segment accounted for a considerable share of the global forensic technologies market in 2020. This can be attributed to effective and efficient results in laboratory settings, as samples can be analyzed without any contamination since most of the pieces of evidence at a crime scene tend to be contaminated.
Technological advancements such as the adoption of laboratory information management software (LIMS) to perform multiple tasks at a time in laboratory settings is expected to augment market growth.
New developments in forensics have gained considerable importance over the past few years. Forensic technology consolidates distinctive fields of science. Law enforcement agencies are now investing in devices and assets, making it challenging for lawbreakers to escape with their criminal activities. This indicates why the forensic technologies market is slated to register a robust CAGR during the forecast period. Therefore, interest in crime scene investigation innovations has increased in the past decade.
Mergers, coordinated efforts, and understandings are strategies adopted by various companies in the forensic technologies market to develop products and explore new distribution channels. This fuels the growth of the global market. Furthermore, increase in crime rates across the world and rise in demand for chemical analysis are anticipated to drive the global forensic technologies market during the forecast period.
Forensic technology refers to the scientific system of analyzing, searching, investigating, and retrieving the evidence gathered from the crime site. Numerous equipment and procedures such as DNA confirmation equipment, data examination & charting tools, closed circuit televisions (CCTV), record management systems (RMS), and license plate recognition (LPR) systems are being utilized to conduct forensic investigations.
Advanced technologies such as alternative light photography, which utilizes blue and orange light filters to measure the extent of damage on the skin, along with drug testing & facial reconstruction are widely used as an integral part of forensic investigation.
