Global Forensic Imaging Market Size Study, By Modality (X-ray, CT, Ultrasound, MRI), By Application (Death Investigations, Clinical Studies), By End-use (Forensic Institutes, Hospitals, Others), and Regional Forecasts 2022-2032
The global forensic imaging market was valued at approximately USD 84.34 million in 2023 and is expected to expand at a healthy CAGR of 10.5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The increasing adoption of non-invasive autopsy methods such as virtual autopsy (virtopsy) is propelling the demand for forensic imaging solutions. Traditional autopsy procedures often face cultural and religious opposition, whereas digital imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide an efficient, accurate, and minimally invasive alternative. With an escalating crime rate and advancements in imaging modalities, forensic institutes, law enforcement agencies, and hospitals are increasingly adopting forensic imaging solutions for criminal investigations and post-mortem examinations.
The growing inclination toward digital forensics and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in forensic imaging are key factors contributing to market growth. AI-powered imaging tools enhance the interpretation of forensic scans by improving image resolution, pattern recognition, and anomaly detection, thereby assisting forensic pathologists in making precise evaluations. Moreover, the shift toward digitized evidence storage enhances data security, reduces tampering risks, and enables seamless sharing of forensic reports among medical and legal professionals. Additionally, the rise in forensic research activities and increased government funding for forensic science development are expected to fuel market expansion.
Regionally, Europe dominated the forensic imaging market in 2023, attributed to the early adoption of virtual autopsies and strong forensic infrastructure in countries such as the UK, Germany, and France. The presence of state-of-the-art forensic laboratories and collaboration between forensic institutes and legal authorities drive the region's growth. Meanwhile, North America is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing number of unexplained deaths, advancements in forensic technology, and the widespread implementation of forensic imaging in medical examiner offices. The U.S. remains a leading market, with strong regulatory support and ongoing investments in forensic pathology. The Asia Pacific region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to expanding forensic capabilities, growing crime rates, and improving healthcare infrastructure in countries like Japan, China, and India.
The forensic imaging industry is highly competitive, with key players focusing on technological advancements, strategic acquisitions, and collaborations to strengthen their market presence. Companies such as Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Neusoft Corporation, Shimadzu Corporation, and Siemens Healthineers are at the forefront of innovation, continuously enhancing imaging modalities to improve forensic investigations. Recent developments in forensic imaging, such as AI-based image reconstruction and 3D virtual autopsy tools, are expected to create new opportunities for market players.
