预计北美在预测期内将实现盈利成长。以美国和加拿大主导,该地区拥有完善的法医基础设施,并在尖端成像技术投入巨资。由于重视法律程序的准确性和效率,北美已成为推动法医成像应用的关键参与者,解决刑事调查中不断变化的挑战,并作为全球法医成像市场的关键贡献者,正在加强其市场。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Forensic Imaging Market is accounted for $5.47 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $11.95 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period. Forensic imaging refers to the application of advanced imaging technologies in the field of forensic science to assist in the analysis, documentation, and reconstruction of evidence related to legal investigations. It involves the use of various imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-rays, and 3D imaging to visualize and analyze crime scenes, injuries, and post-mortem examinations. It plays a crucial role in providing accurate and detailed information for law enforcement, forensic experts, and legal professionals, aiding in the resolution of criminal cases, identification of victims, and the presentation of evidence in legal proceedings.
According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), number deaths due to all types of homicides were around 24,576 in 2020, off which, gun-related homicides increased by 35%.
Growing preference for virtopsy or virtual autopsy
Virtopsy utilises advanced imaging technologies, such as CT scans and MRI, to provide non-invasive and detailed examinations of cadavers. This approach addresses concerns associated with traditional autopsies, such as invasiveness and cultural or religious considerations. Forensic imaging enables precise 3D reconstructions, aiding in accurate cause-of-death determinations and evidence documentation. As the preference for quicker, less invasive, and technologically advanced forensic methods grows, virtopsy becomes instrumental in modern forensic investigations, driving the adoption of sophisticated imaging solutions and contributing to the evolution of the forensic imaging market.
High cost of forensic instruments & procedures
Advanced imaging technologies, including high-resolution scanners, 3D imaging systems, and multispectral imaging devices, are crucial for comprehensive forensic investigations. However, these cutting-edge instruments come with a substantial price tag, encompassing not only the initial purchase cost but also expenses related to installation, maintenance, and training. Ongoing operational costs, including maintenance and staff training, contribute to the overall expense, impeding the widespread adoption of advanced forensic imaging solutions.
Increase in crime rates
The surge in criminal activities necessitates enhanced forensic capabilities, driving the demand for advanced imaging technologies. Forensic imaging solutions play a crucial role in evidence collection, crime scene analysis, and the determination of accurate criminal profiles. As law enforcement agencies strive to address the growing challenges of criminal investigations, there is a heightened need for cutting-edge tools that can provide clear and detailed insights. This creates a favourable environment for the adoption of forensic imaging technologies, offering opportunities for market growth as the complexity of criminal cases rises. Ultimately, this contributes to more effective and efficient investigative processes.
Lack of accuracy
In forensic investigations, the accuracy of imaging results is paramount for reliable and conclusive evidence. Some forensic imaging technologies may have limitations in terms of resolution, sensitivity, or specificity, impacting the accuracy of the captured images. Also, human error, subjective judgements, or a lack of training can compromise the accuracy of the analysis. In certain cases, forensic imaging may not capture the complete set of data needed for a comprehensive analysis, leading to gaps in the information available to investigators. Thus, it will hamper market demand.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the forensic imaging market by disrupting supply chains, delaying projects, and affecting budget allocations for forensic technologies. With limitations on physical access to crime scenes and forensic laboratories, there is an increased reliance on digital evidence, driving the demand for remote forensic imaging solutions. Also, delays in court proceedings and forensic investigations during lockdowns have influenced the overall market dynamics. As the global situation stabilizes, the market is expected to rebound with increased emphasis on technology adoption for efficient and remote forensic processes.
The MRI segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The MRI segment is estimated to hold the largest share. Utilised extensively in forensic investigations, MRI provides detailed images of internal structures, aiding in the examination of soft tissues, organs, and bones without invasive procedures. Its non-invasive nature makes it valuable in post-mortem examinations, offering insights into injuries, pathology, and causes of death. Furthermore, the high resolution and multi-dimensional capabilities of MRI contribute to accurate forensic analyses, assisting law enforcement and forensic experts in unravelling complex cases.
The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The hospitals segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. In hospitals, forensic imaging is employed to aid in legal investigations involving traumatic injuries, post-mortem examinations, and evidence documentation. Hospitals play a pivotal role in providing expertise and infrastructure for forensic imaging procedures, contributing to accurate diagnosis and comprehensive forensic analyses. The collaboration between medical professionals and forensic experts within hospital settings enhances the capabilities of imaging technologies, ensuring their applicability in both clinical and legal contexts.
Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period. Factors such as rising crime rates, expanding populations, and the need for sophisticated investigative tools contribute to the market's expansion. Ongoing technological advancements and strategic collaborations between law enforcement agencies and forensic experts contribute to the market's expansion. The rise in crime rates further propels the adoption of state-of-the-art forensic imaging solutions, positioning the Asia-Pacific region as a key player in advancing forensic capabilities and modernizing legal proceedings.
