COMPUTER FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES MARKET ANALYSIS

Market News

Key Developments

Increasing use of digital forensics by government agencies in criminal cases is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in May 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) used digital evidence (left on the suspects’ computers and phones) in a major case in New Jersey in which the convicts provided material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

Moreover, government agencies are also focused on launching computer forensics laboratories, which is expected to boost adoption of computer forensics technologies. For instance, in July 22, 2019, the Boston Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced the start of the new FBI-sponsored New England Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (NERCFL) in Chelsea, Massachusetts, U.S.

Research and development in the field of computer forensics is also expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in July 2019, a team of researchers from Purdue University, developed a technical forensic process that consists of ten technical phases for the analysis of Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) forensic artifacts. The findings are expected to mitigate the complexity of the identification and investigation of drones.
