Published: Dec 2024 | Report Code: OMR2023355 | Category : Advanced Technologies | Delivery Format: /

The global digital forensics market is growing at a CAGR of nearly 13.0% during the forecast period. The major factors that are augmenting the growth of the market include the rising incidences of cyber crime and the extensive usage of IoT devices. Digital forensics is used in criminal investigations and private investigations. It is used to secure evidence and provide it to the court for decision making. It is useful in civil cases as it is useful in electronic discovery. Digital forensics is very useful against cyber-attack and other cyber crimes as it can track down cyber criminals across the globe. It is useful for storing evidence for any cases or investigation. 

Digital forensics is extremely useful to organizations as it can recover the data when the organization’s computer networks have been compromised. Increasing demand for cloud computing forensic and data security pushing the growth of the market. However, the lack of skilled professionals is one of the major causes of restraining market growth. Digital Forensics is modern technology and it may not be cost-effective for small enterprises that is acting as a restraining factor for the market.

Segmental Outlook 

The market is segmented based on type and end-user. Based on type, the market is segmented into computer forensics, mobile device forensics, network forensics, and others. Further, based on the end-user segment, the market is segmented into banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), government and law enforcement agencies, healthcare and life science, defense and aerospace, IT and telecommunication, and others. 

Global Digital Forensics Market Share by End-User, 2020 (%)

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), government and law enforcement agencies, healthcare and life science, defense and aerospace, IT and Telecommunication. In 2020, BFSI held the largest share in the market as it is highly vulnerable to spear-phishing and ransomware attacks that are rising drastically in the industry. The increasing use of smartphones for banking purposes, such as payment, money transfers and so on has significantly increased the risk of targeting this device by cyber attackers. Digital forensics examination of smartphones may be essential in investigations to identify data breach or theft and providing the origin and scope of the threat. Apart from this, financial institutions can use digital forensics techniques to assess the security of their mobile banking applications that enables to protect customer’s device against cyber-attacks. 

Regional Outlook

The market is further analyzed based on geographical regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2020, North America held the largest share in the market owing to the well-developed information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and rising number of cyber-attacks in the region. A rapid increase in cyber-attacks has been observed over a few years. This growth is majorly attributed owing to the increasing adoption of cloud-based services in the region, as cloud computing platforms are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data leakages. 

This, in turn, is contributing to the demand for digital forensics to collects, processes, preserves, analyzes, and show computer-related evidence for counterintelligence, fraud, network vulnerability mitigation, criminal, or law enforcement investigations. Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness the fastest growth in the market during the forecast period. The rising adoption of cloud computing and internet penetration has resulted in the growth of cybercrimes and digital crimes in the region. This, in turn, is expected to offer an opportunity for market growth.
