法医学用制品的美国市场：技术与机会的考察

The Forensic Business: Highlighting Technologies, Opportunities

Abstract

Forensic science recently has garnered considerable publicity from highprofile court cases involving DNA testing and popular television shows. The greater use of DNA testing and other technologies has brought visibility to forensic testing. The number of traditional crime laboratories in the U.S. performing forensic analyses has grown from 300 in 1999 to an estimated 450 today. They analyze hundreds of thousands of samples annually. Although the market for forensic analyses and related products may seem small in comparison to the market for biotechnology and pharmaceutical products, crime laboratory analyses serve a very important purpose.

The collection and evaluation of forensic evidence at the scene of a crime is of extreme importance in the legal system and the products used to collect and assay this evidence are the focus of this BCC report. This market includes many different products, most of which provide information about the chemical nature of substances. Forensic laboratories do not, in general, use analytical instruments or supplies that were specifically designed for forensics testing but use those that also are used by the general analytical industry such as the pharmaceutical and environmental monitoring industries. Although the forensic market is small when compared to other markets, these products play a very important role in forensic analyses.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The report contains:

• Coverage of the present status of, and future prospects for the crime laboratory segment of the U.S. forensic science market
• Identification of current and upcoming technologies
• Analysis of products, market segments/end markets with forecasts through 2010
• Coverage of the social, political, regulatory and economic issues impacting the industry
• A detailed patent analysis
• Profiles and analyses of the competitive position of the main players in the market.
