Human Identification Market by Technology (Next Generation Sequencing, Rapid DNA Analysis, Capillary Electrophoresis, PCR), Application (Forensics, Paternity Testing), DNA Amplification, Quantification, Extraction, Services, & Software - Forecast to 2018

The global human identification market is categorized on the basis of technology, application, product, and geography. The next generation sequencing and rapid DNA analysis market is expected to register the highest growth rate in the human identification market by technology, during the forecast period. Their favorable growth is attributed to continuous launch of new and advanced products. Furthermore, various conferences and symposiums are being conducted to spread awareness for use of such technologies in routine DNA analysis. For instance, in September 2013, International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI) was held in Georgia, U.S. The conference focused on various emerging technologies for human identification which also included rapid DNA analysis as one of the potential technology.

Major factors contributing to growth of human identification include government support in the form funding, rising awareness regarding new technologies for the DNA analysis, and the need to reduce time and cost associated with DNA analysis. Furthermore, owing to continuous advancements in technology, new products are being launched in the market which is another major factor providing impetus for growth of the market. The Asian region and advent of next generation sequencing technology are likely to provide opportunities for human identification market to grow. However, factors such as spending cuts on police budget by U.K government and declining cost of DNA analysis instruments and services may restrain the growth of this market.

Countries such as China, Australia, Japan, and Brazil are expected to serve as new revenue pockets for the human identification market in coming five years.
