The global market for DNA forensics is projected to grow from an estimated $3.3 billion in 2025 to $4.7 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2025 to 2030.
DNA forensics can be applied to criminal justice, civil proceedings, and humanitarian intervention. It is the scientific method of analyzing and comparing an individual’s DNA to establish the identity of biological relationships in a legal context. It also aids in identifying suspects and linking them to crime scenes through biological means in criminal investigations. It is crucial in absolving the innocent and resolving cold cases. DNA forensics is also utilized in civil matters for paternity and family relationship testing. Additionally, it plays a vital role in identifying victims of war or accidents. It also assists in the search for missing persons and in establishing identity in immigration proceedings. Its accuracy and reliability render it one of the pillars of contemporary forensic science.
The rising prevalence of criminal offenses worldwide has elevated the demand for reliable forensic equipment, with DNA profiling becoming a necessary tool in solving crimes and identifying suspects. Government programs and legislative requirements to collect and store DNA profiles have also increased forensic databases, cross-border collaborations and information sharing among law enforcement agencies. These are the factors responsible for market growth.
