Digital Forensics Market Report 2026: Capitalize on the $14.85B-to-$31.74B Surge Through 2030 as Cloud, Mobile and Automated Investigations Disrupt Cisco, OpenText, Cellebrite, Nuix and Magnet Forensics Dublin, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Digital Forensics Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global digital forensics market is experiencing rapid growth as organizations strengthen cyber incident response capabilities, expand digital evidence collection, and address increasingly sophisticated security threats. The market is projected to grow from $14.85 billion in 2025 to $17.22 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%.

Growth during the historical period has been supported by the increasing frequency of cybercrime, the rising use of computers and connected devices in criminal activity, expanding internet penetration, greater digital data storage requirements, and widespread adoption of digital technologies across enterprises. These factors have increased demand for reliable forensic tools and services that can preserve, examine, and analyze evidence across complex technology environments.

The digital forensics market is forecast to reach $31.74 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2026. Key growth drivers include the increasing use of cloud-based investigations, widespread adoption of mobile and Internet of Things devices, stricter data protection regulations, and rising demand for advanced cyber incident response. Continued development of forensic automation tools is also expected to improve investigative speed, accuracy, and scalability.

Prominent digital forensics market trends include cloud evidence preservation, mobile device data extraction, network traffic investigation, encrypted data analysis, and cross-platform forensic integration. As digital infrastructure becomes more distributed, investigators require solutions that can securely collect and correlate evidence from endpoints, servers, mobile devices, networks, and cloud platforms.

Escalating cybersecurity threats remain a major factor driving market expansion. Digital forensic methods support cyber investigations by identifying attack origins, reconstructing malicious activity, preserving evidence, and informing incident containment and remediation. Demand is increasing among government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, telecommunications providers, retailers, and other enterprises managing sensitive or regulated information.

The scale of the threat environment is reflected in data from the Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre. In November 2024, the agency reported that it had received more than 36,700 calls to the Australian Cyber Security Hotline during the 2023-24 financial year, an increase of 12% compared with the previous year. The continued rise in reported cyber incidents is reinforcing investment in digital investigation, data recovery, malware analysis, and forensic incident response services.

Technology providers are focusing on automation-driven incident response and forensic platforms to accelerate evidence collection, reduce manual investigation errors, and improve operational efficiency. These platforms enable trigger-based collection of evidence from endpoints, servers, and cloud environments while consolidating information for centralized analysis.

In September 2023, SentinelOne launched Singularity RemoteOps Forensics to streamline digital forensic investigations. The platform automates data capture across multiple devices, integrates forensic information with endpoint detection and response telemetry, and supports both ad hoc and conditional evidence collection. Its capabilities are designed to reduce dependence on multiple agents and disconnected investigation tools while improving the speed and accuracy of response activities.

Strategic acquisitions are also shaping the competitive landscape. In June 2024, UK-based managed cybersecurity services provider Excite Technology Services acquired CBIT Digital Forensic Services for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition expands Excite's cybersecurity portfolio through the addition of specialized digital forensic tools, capabilities, and training services.

The digital forensics market includes computer forensics, network forensics, mobile device forensics, and cloud forensics. Solutions are delivered through hardware, software, and services supporting data acquisition and preservation, data recovery, forensic analysis, decryption, review, and reporting. Major end-use sectors include government and defense, banking, financial services and insurance, telecommunications and information technology, retail, and healthcare.

North America was the largest digital forensics market in 2025, supported by advanced cybersecurity infrastructure, strong regulatory requirements, and substantial investment in incident response technologies. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. The market analysis covers Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Italy, and Spain.
