Digital Forensics Market size is estimated to reach USD 86 Billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 18.90% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of digital forensics was USD 11 Billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing number of sophisticated digital crimes, rising use of Internet of Things (IoT) and adoption of stringent government regulations. Further, the growing prevalence of cyber-attacks on enterprises across the globe are also expected to add to the market growth. For instance, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), over 43,300 cases of online identity theft and 2,42,342 complaints regarding internet phishing and cyber frauds were reported in the year 2021.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of digital forensics include the rise in adoption of artificial intelligence that has paved way for much more advanced digital forensics solutions. Artificial intelligence is prompt and precise in detecting data clusters in photos, videos, pattern recognition and provide forensic data security and data retrieval solutions, which is further boosting the digital forensics market growth. For instance, by 2024, ML algorithms aided by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), can help in streamlining threat detection in real time and help in identifying behavior patterns consistent with malicious activity and prevent any cyberattacks beforehand. Additionally, the increasing R&D investments made on digital forensics by companies and corporates is predicted to present the potential for market expansion over the projected period.

Type (Computer, Mobile, Cloud, Network)
The global digital forensics market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into computer forensics, mobile forensics, cloud forensics and network forensics. Out of the four types of digital forensics, the computer forensics segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing use of computer forensics in investigative processes. For instance, massive shift in the law enforcement is noted regarding mobile pieces of evidences. Earlier, 90-95% of cases were traditional computer forensics cases and now 95% of cases accounts for mobile pieces of evidences and very few computers. With information, evidence, data stored in cloud devices, computer forensics sector is launching new devices that can help access and retrieve the data. The LabVantage Solutions launched LIMS Platform, 8.8 version in December 2022, which helps in data investigations and digital evidence. Digital data from various sources are studied in a unified space with the help of this platform. All these factors are predicted to boost the market growth.
End User (Healthcare, Education, BFSI, Government and Law Enforcement Agencies)
The global digital forensics market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into healthcare, education, BFSI, government & law enforcement agencies. Amongst these four segments, the BFSI segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. Increasing incidences of breaking bank databases, stealing customer information, money is expected to drive demand for digital forensics in the BFSI segment. On the other hand, the digitization of business functions by financial institutions is projected to witness a massive CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising need to opt for cybersecurity. For instance, there has been a 238% increase in cyber-attacks in the BFSI sectors post the pandemic in the World. Prioritizing and executing cybersecurity measures has become a significant concern for organizations in the BFSI segment. This, as a result, is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.
