The use of forensic imaging in investigating unnatural deaths is projected to drive market growth

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, January 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Forensic Imaging market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 86.9 million in 2024 to USD 231.5 Billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 11.50%. The global forensic imaging market is poised for significant growth as rising global crime rates, advancements in digital forensics, and an increasing number of cyberattacks create a pressing need for cutting-edge investigative technologies. Forensic imaging, which employs advanced imaging tools to investigate crime scenes and determine causes of death, is becoming an essential tool for law enforcement and legal proceedings worldwide.

According to the CDC, there were approximately 24,576 homicides in the United States in 2020, with gun-related homicides increasing by 35%. Similarly, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports an annual global average of 440,000 homicide-related deaths. In Europe, intentional killings rose by 3.5% in 2020, as per Eurostat data. These trends highlight the increasing complexity and urgency of crime investigations, driving the demand for forensic imaging technologies.

Courts are increasingly relying on virtual autopsies to provide compelling evidence in cases lacking eyewitness testimony. This trend is supported by forensic experts and law enforcement agencies emphasizing high-quality imaging tools to improve crime-solving capabilities and ensure the meticulous documentation of evidence.

Cybersecurity is another key growth driver in the forensic imaging market. The exponential rise in cybercrimes, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, and identity theft, has accelerated the adoption of digital forensic technologies. Check Point Research reported a 38% increase in global cyberattacks in 2022 compared to the previous year, with attacks occurring approximately every 39 seconds. Cybersecurity Ventures projects the global cost of cybercrime to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, a sharp increase from $3 trillion in 2015.

As businesses and individuals increasingly rely on digital infrastructure, the demand for robust digital forensic tools to counteract cyber threats has surged. These tools are essential for identifying perpetrators, minimizing risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance, solidifying digital forensics as a priority for organizations worldwide.

Challenges Facing the Market

Despite its growth potential, the forensic imaging market faces challenges, particularly a shortage of skilled professionals. Digital forensics requires a unique blend of technical expertise, investigative skills, and legal knowledge. The complexity of digital systems and the rapid evolution of cyber threats exacerbate this workforce shortage, potentially slowing market growth.

Market Segmentation Insights

Forensic institutes currently dominate the forensic imaging market, driven by their extensive research on various applications of forensic imaging. For instance, CT scanners have been installed at the Victoria Institute of Pathology in Sydney and the Danish Institute of Forensic Medicine to enhance forensic investigations.

The hospital segment is expected to experience notable growth between 2024 and 2030. Hospitals offer the necessary resources, including technical staff and infrastructure, to conduct virtual autopsies efficiently. Additionally, the convenience of performing forensic imaging in hospitals reduces the costs and risks associated with transferring corpses to specialized forensic institutes.
