The digital forensics market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6783.72 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10. % over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Digital forensics is the application of investigation and analysis techniques to identify, preserve, recover, analyze and present digital information found in digital devices such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, etc. Digital forensics helps in investigation of cybercrimes, IP theft, recovery of deleted files among others. With the rise in cybercrimes and data privacy regulations, digital forensics has become crucial for law enforcement agencies and enterprises.
Market key trends:
Continued adoption of cloud computing and IoT gives access to a large amount of digital data making it vulnerable to cybercrimes and data breaches. Cybercriminals are finding new ways to steal data from cloud and IoT devices. As a result, enterprises and law enforcement agencies are increasingly investing in digital forensics solutions to securely retrieve, analyze and present digital evidence from cloud and IoT networks. Regulatory compliances around data protection such as GDPR and CCPA also created demand for digital forensic solutions to comply with data regulations. Increased deployment of advanced technologies such as AI and analytics is further helping digital forensic solutions to efficiently investigate large volumes of digital evidence. This is expected to drive the growth of the digital forensics market over the forecast period.
