Human Identification Market

Market Overview:

The global human identification market size reached US$ 1.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% during 2024-2032.

Human identification refers to a technique used to analyze the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample for the identification of individuals and forensic investigation. It consists of body part detectors that assist in detecting lips, face, heads, shoulders, fingerprints, and palms. It also utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS), capillary electrophoresis, rapid DNA analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nucleic acid purification, and extraction technologies. Human identification is widely used for criminal identification, overall analytics of human traits, identifying missing persons, casualties of war, disaster victims, and cause and manner of death. It also assists in tracking individual criminal record, identifying traces, and pardoning decisions.

Human Identification Market Trends:

The increasing demand for DNA analysis on account of rising criminal rates across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. In line with this, human identification is widely used in forensics, disaster victim identification, and anthropology for eliminating wrongly associated individuals and redirecting resources to more viable avenues of investigation. Moreover, various technological advancements, such as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), that assists in mapping and recording facial features, obtaining high-quality source samples, and improving system efficiency, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, recent developments in sequencing technology have enhanced the utilization of capillary electrophoresis (CE) and massively parallel sequencing (MPS) methods for human identification in forensic and paternity testing labs, which, in turn, is positively impacting the market growth. Apart from this, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and the implementation of various government policies to provide funding for forensic programs are creating a positive outlook for the market.
