Forensic Technology Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Rising Adoption of Artificial Intelligence – Recent technological developments have made it possible for forensic scientists to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support their inquiries to help them establish more precise, timely, and uniform views regarding forensic case evaluation.
• Growing Cases of Cybercrimes- The "digital fingerprint" left behind after a criminal is committed is tracked using digital forensics, a subfield of forensic science that employs technology to detect cybercrimes for the identification, preservation, analysis, and documenting of digital data that can be used as evidence in court.
• Surging Popularity of DNA Testing- The polymerase chain reaction, capillary electrophoresis, probes, and restriction enzymes are the instruments used in DNA typing that can be used to identify criminals quite precisely and to offer capabilities that are uncommon among the majority of other forensic specialties.

Challenges

• High Cost of Forensic Technology – The tools required for conducting a forensic investigation are frequently expensive and high-tech equipment as they are developed after extensive research which helps the forensic expert to produce the forensic results that are frequently crucial to solving a crime and ensuring accurate judgments in a court of law.
• Lack of Skilled Professionals with Expertise in Forensic Technology
• Limited Accuracy and Reliability of Forensic Tools
