Human Identification Market Analysis

Increased government funding for forensic science in the region and expansion of the US DNA database is projected to accelerate the growth of the market. Moreover, growing support for the development of forensics and increasing partnerships between universities in this region of human identification are propelling the market's expansion in this region.

Human Identification Market Overview

Government entities all worldwide have strengthened their support for the field of human identification, owing to its potential, demand, and varied applications in numerous industries. The National Research Council (NRC) report issued by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in February 2009 suggested the need for changes in forensic science in the US, which had a global impact on this matter. Many forensic science disciplines, including DNA analysis, are transforming the US and the world. New approaches are being created, validated, and implemented to help criminal investigations. Investigators face challenges in terms of the validity and accuracy of older and current methods. Furthermore, families can be reunited with the use of forensic DNA analysis, especially when children grow up apart from their parents. The US Department of State's Bureau of Democracy is funding the Forensic Project, which aims to employ this assessment method more frequently to help reunited families affected by riots and other violent events. Thanks to financing from the federal government and the state of Texas, the Center for Human Identification (CHI) at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth is a globally recognized center for forensic DNA testing.

Human Identification Market Drivers and Opportunities

Novel Sampling Methods and Portable Equipment Supporting DNA Phenotyping

Procedures based on forensic technology, from retinal scanning to evidence chemistry tracing, help solve crimes in advanced ways. For example, the minuscule amounts of oils remaining on fingerprints can reveal the general age of criminal suspects, their diet, and whether they smoke. Many forensic research projects are focused on the development of novel analytical instruments, assessment techniques for trace amounts of evidence, and proteomic analysis techniques with unique sampling procedures, allowing hair-, skin-, and bone-based identification. For extensive analysis in the on-site field, several portable equipment types have been manufactured. Portable forensic instruments prove to be helpful in transporting unstable, perishable, or hazardous compounds to the laboratory. DNA phenotyping is an advanced technology used in forensic sciences. Scientists sequence a DNA sample and provide investigators with information on the probable characteristics of suspects, such as hair, eye, and skin color, to identify them. Age and biological background can also be predicted using newer approaches. The personnel can also use biosensors to analyze the minute traces of bodily fluids found in fingerprints to identify the suspect. Data detected using such samples include age, medications, gender, and lifestyle.

Untapped Potential in Developing Regions

The expansion of the medical device market in Asia Pacific is being aided by the expanding number of funding programs, public-private partnerships, and government backing. Furthermore, because of their high geriatric population and constantly growing population, the countries in the region provide significant potential opportunities for this industry. China was the biggest spender on healthcare R&D in 2019, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The adoption of cutting-edge technologies in the healthcare industry is facilitated by such significant investments in its development. The governments of a number of Asian nations promote indigenous medical device companies to grow by providing tax breaks, cheaper land, incubators and other instrument aids, and direct investments.

Human Identification Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the human identification market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 2020, 538,203 violent crime incidents and 640,836 offenses were reported in the US by 9,991 law enforcement agencies that submitted National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data covering 53% of the total population.

The FBI has long recognized the limitations of its existing data collection system and is planning to transition to a more comprehensive system beginning in 2021. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) will offer data on a far more significant number of crimes, as well as details such as the time of day, location, and types of weapons involved, if applicable. It will also provide demographic information on victims, known offenders, and arrestees, such as their age, gender, race, and ethnicity. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) announced almost US$ 17 million in funding to support 36 forensic science research and development projects in 2020 under its R & D in Forensic Science for Criminal Justice Purposes (Forensic Science R&D) program. Through its R&D grant funding, NIJ continues to advance forensic analysis's speed, accuracy, and reliability, which ultimately bolsters the administration of justice.
