Scope of Global Human Identification Market Report

Human identification is directly linked with the methodologies with the biometric detection & training of the datasets so that the analysis of particular person can be done for particular applications. The human identification systems are often having any sort of the human attribute whether it's fingerprint, face, lips, iris, palm or the other and there could also be some new aspects including tongue. The investigating authorities use these approaches for criminal identification and overall analytics of the human traits. Methods of human identification are such biometric identification, face perception, face recognition, forensic identification and other.

The structure of human identification or recognition in biometric input an image of the person in question inside the system and the system will first pre-process the image which will cause unwanted elements like noise to be far away from the image. After that, the system will then classify the image supported its landmarks. Recently, the field of human identification has become one of the broadest areas of research that the researchers have dealt with and reached very strong results, especially in the external aspects of man, namely iris of the eye and face, signature of the hand, fingerprint, etc.

Covid 19 has shown a negative impact on the growth of global human identification market. In the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, public health experts have produced guidelines to limit the spread of the coronavirus, but individuals do not always comply with experts’ recommendations. The global Covid-19 pandemic have shown short and long-term negative impacts on the biometrics & related technology included in human identification. Beyond the significant cost to human life due to the pandemic, it can be argued that Covid-19 will also have a significant and long-term impact on biometrics companies, developers, investors and customers. Manufacturers feel this potential long-term impact as there are some serious short-term implications.

News: QIAGEN Partners with Verogen to Offer Broadest Portfolio for Human Identification, Including Next Generation Sequencing Solutions

On June 29^th, 2021; QIAGEN N.V. announced a commercialization partnership with San Diego-based human identification specialist Verogen that will provide customers of both companies with superior tools and comprehensive support for human identification (HID) workflows in their laboratories. The deal enables QIAGEN to offer Verogen’s preeminent HID sequencing and analysis solutions that run on MiSeq FGx sequencers from Illumina, decisively expanding QIAGEN’s forensics leadership that already covers sample collection and preparation, genetic testing analysis and workflow automation. The agreement grants QIAGEN the rights to distribute the Verogen portfolio globally including kits based on the proprietary Verogen ForenSeq assay, the Verogen MiSeq FGx Sequencing System and the Universal Analysis Software and covers an expansion of the partnership through future ForenSeq-based assays.

Increasing Use of Human Identification Solutions in Forensic Application is One of the Major Factors Driving the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the growth of the global human identification market is increasing use of human identification solutions in forensic application. As there is increasing crime rate across the globe and human identification is widely used in forensics, disaster victim identification, paternity testing and anthropology with DNA analysis/profiling being a key tool in this sector. The increasing use of human identification solutions in forensic application and thus manufacturers are launching new products in the market. For instance; in October 2017, QIAGEN and ICMP announced the launch of their new DNA Testing Solutions which is specially designed to identify missing person. The solution incorporates the GeneReader NGS program of QIAGEN and covers all facets of the DNA laboratory workflow. The system also provides high-level capabilities for supporting governments to trace large numbers of people who are for unintended reasons. This segment is fueling the market growth.  

In addition, increasing advancements in the field of human identification are also fostering the market growth. As there are new techniques and technologies for DNA profiling continue to evolve every year. Also as Forensic DNA analysis can be a useful tool in aiding forensic identification because DNA is found in almost all cells of human bodies except red blood cells. In addition, forensic identification using DNA can be useful in different cases such as determining suspects in violent crimes, solving paternity/maternity, and identifying human remains of victims from mass disasters or missing person cases.

It is also used to link suspects or victims to each other or to crime scenes. When a sample is located at a crime scene, it must be collected, processed, and transported, along with a chain of custody, to the laboratory for analysis, so that if a DNA profile is generated it can be accepted in court. Proper evidence collection and preservation is crucial to ensure evidence is not being contaminated. These leading technologies for human identification consist of rapid DNA analysis as one of the potential technologies, thus improving the mode of identification which contributes to the market growth.

However, expensive instruments of human identification and shortage of skilled professionals may hamper the growth of the market. In spite of that, there is increasing demand for advance products and system with improvement in the healthcare infrastructure. Thus there is availability of more advanced and developed technologies in the market as this human identification has the ability to easily analyze DNA samples and is very useful to identify object at various traced sites. Thus, technological advancements in human identification system are expected to provide new opportunities for the market growth in forecast period.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Human Identification Market

The global human identification market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific Latin America and Middle East & Africa. North America region is expected to dominate the global human identification market due to the government supports for forensic science and research and high investment in R & D. For example; U.S. has expanded DNA database and also increasing partnerships between universities in this region. Moreover, government bodies across the region have increased their support for the growth of the human identification market. For instance; in the U.S., the Department of Justice offers the Forensic DNA Capacity Enhancement Program for assisting eligible states and units of local government to process, screen and record and analyses forensic DNA and/or DNA database samples and also increases the capacity of public forensic DNA and DNA database laboratories to process DNA samples.

In 2016, The National Institute of Justice received about USD 125 million funds from the Department of Justice Appropriation Act. This is for commitments such as forensic programs the Kirk Bloodsworth, Post-Conviction DNA Testing program and the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam Program.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness a fastest growth in the global human identification market owing to the increasing investment in this field and supportive government initiative in this region. For instance, the Indian government is planning to develop a national DNA fingerprint database of criminals. The development of such database will require high-end instruments and consumables. This may provide manufacturers an array of opportunities of new human identification product for investing in the Indian market.
