Forensic
science is based on the theory of transfer, i.e. when two objects
meet, an evidence of that meeting can be established and verified at
a later time. For instance, fingerprints/ shoeprints/tool marks in
case of theft/burglary; or in case with DNA profiles, the bits of
evidence are miniaturized to the extent of a single skin cell between
the suspect and the crime. Thus forensic technologies can be defined
as technologies used for the identification, analysis and evaluation
of physical evidence gathered from the crime scene. The collected and
analyzed forensic evidence is in turn used in criminal law to prove
the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Globally,
the DNA profiling is a high growth market segment that is expected to
grow at more than 11% CAGR in the forecast period. In forensic
technologies/services market, it is widely quoted that DNA profiling
has helped solve crimes considered otherwise unsolvable.
Technological advances in DNA profiling such as 'miniaturization' and
'microchip technologies' enable forensic testing and analysis of even
micro, old, degraded, decomposed DNA samples. Due to these benefits,
the application of DNA profiling as a forensic technology has
expanded widely from the identification of suspects in murders, rape
cases and violent crimes to exoneration of the wrongfully accused and
in establishing an identity for corpses or skeletons and victims of
disasters. Also, due to cost-efficiency of DNA profiling, this
forensic technology is now being widely applied to investigate even
non-fatal crime cases such as burglary, robbery and white-collar
crime.
DNA
profiling in North America and Europe are now standardized and
automated. DNA profiles have been archived and stored as digital
records in DNA databases (e.g. CODIS/NDIS in the U.S.) so that DNA
profiles (from new crime cases) can be easily and quickly referenced.
This has helped in increasing the speed of crime case forensic
analysis and resolution. Recently, many countries in Asia-Pacific and
RoW have initiated massive DNA databases programs. All these factors
contribute to the market growth of DNA profiling segment.
Currently,
in terms of geography, North America and Europe have a higher market
share; but going forward, Asia-Pacific and RoW regions are expected
to gain about 60% market share. As many of the forensic
technologies/services such as Biometrics/Fingerprints and Firearms
Identification are standardized and automated in North America and
Europe, it is likely to result in lower spend/cost per end-to-end
crime case analysis and resolution. Also, many countries in
Asia-Pacific and RoW - Abu Dhabi, South Africa have initiated massive
DNA databases programs. A multitude of other such factors are likely
to drive growth of all forensic technologies/services segments within
the Asia-Pacific and RoW regions; hence these regions will garner a
higher market share going forward.
The
global market for forensic technologies/services is dominated by the
Government i.e. publicly funded forensic labs that have about 60%
market share. There are very few private labs or forensic service
providing companies that can provide end-to-end crime case analysis.
But there are many private labs or forensic service providing
companies that provide forensic analysis of few components of a crime
case. For example, LGC Forensics, Cellmark Forensic Services in the
U.K. The more prominent ones include Bode Technology, NMS Labs,
Thermo Fisher Scientific and GE Healthcare Life Sciences in the U.S.
