Dublin, Feb. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Forensic Equipment and Supplies Market by Product, Application, End User - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global forensic equipment and supplies market is expected to reach USD 8,685.0 million by 2024 from USD 5,976.0 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 7.7%.
Forensic analysis is a key element of criminal and judicial investigations wherein various samples are required to be collected and processed. Forensic equipment and supplies are mainly used for trace evidence analysis, fingerprinting & DNA identification, paternity/maternity testing, the evaluation of body fluids, toxicology/drug analysis, and crime scene analysis, among others.
The growth of this market is majorly driven by the growing number of crimes across major countries, ongoing technological advancements in forensic sciences, growing public-private investments in the field of forensics, rising awareness among investigators about the role of DNA profiling in criminology, and the growing number of industry-academia collaborations for the development and acquisition of novel forensic technologies.
However, the high cost of forensic instruments and the dearth of well-skilled technicians to perform forensic analysis in emerging countries are the major factors that are expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
In 2017, Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), SCIEX (Danaher Corporation, US), PerkinElmer (US), Agilent Technologies (US), and Waters Corporation (US), were the top five players in the global forensic equipment and supplies market.
Other prominent players operating in this market include GE Healthcare (US), QIAGEN NV (Netherlands), Spectris (UK), Air Science (US), Lynn Peavey Company (US), Sirchie (US), BVDA International (Netherlands), Safariland, LLC (US), Horiba (Japan), and Illumina, Inc. (US).
