The global DNA analysis in the government sector market size reached USD 2.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 5.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.53% during 2025-2033. The escalating demand for security measures and counterterrorism efforts, a considerable rise in the number of criminal activities, and continual advancements in DNA analysis technologies represent some of the key factors driving the market.
DNA analysis is a forensic technique used in the government sector to identify individuals based on their DNA characteristics, involving the examination and analysis of DNA samples to extract valuable information for investigative, identification, or regulatory purposes. DNA analysis in the government sector encompasses multiple steps, such as sample collection, extraction, amplification, profiling, and data analysis, and the comparison of specific DNA regions to establish a distinctive genetic profile. By utilizing several advanced techniques to determine and compare specific regions of the DNA of an individual, the analysis establishes unique genetic profiles and accurate identification. Some of the most common techniques in DNA analysis include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), short tandem repeat (STR) analysis, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. As a result, it finds extensive applications in forensic investigations, missing person identification, disaster victim identification, archaeological research, studying genetic links to diseases, and paternity and kinship testing.
The global market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for security measures and counterterrorism efforts on major spots of a particular region, such as airports, railways, and borders. In line with this, continual advancements in DNA analysis technologies, such as such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) providing accurate results from degraded or trace amounts of DNA, is fueling the market. Moreover, the increasing availability of DNA databases, algorithms and software systems facilitating large volumes of DNA data sharing among national and international law enforcement agencies is providing an impetus to the market. In addition to this, the rising prevalence of chronic oncology and various infectious diseases are creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. The market is further driven by the implementation of favorable regulatory initiatives, along with growing government investments in DNA analysis infrastructure. Apart from this, the rising integration of DNA analysis with other technologies, such as biometrics and surveillance systems, is creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid utilization of cloud-based biometrics, extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players, augmenting demand for forensic backlog reduction, and rising healthcare expenditure.
