Non-Lethal Weapons Market Overview

Non-Lethal Weapons Market Size was valued at USD 8.54 billion in 2022. The non-lethal weapons market is projected to grow to USD 17.94 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% during the forecast period (2022 - 2032).

Non-Lethal Weapons are designed to cause pain or irritate the body's sensory system without doing any permanent damage to the body. There are many non-lethal weapons such as guns firing rubber/wax/plastic bullets, tear gas weapons, sting grenades, water cannons, pepper sprays, electric shock weapons and more. Non-lethal weapons are widely used for dispersing violent throngs, mass demonstrations, riots and more.

The North American non-lethal weapons market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by the increasing focus on law enforcement, riot control, and counter-terrorism measures. Non-lethal weapons, also known as less-lethal or less-than-lethal weapons, provide law enforcement agencies and military forces with effective means to incapacitate or deter targets without causing fatal injuries. The market in North America is characterized by a wide range of non-lethal weapons, including pepper spray, tasers, rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, and stun grenades, among others. With rising concerns over civilian casualties and the need for precision and proportionality in force application, non-lethal weapons have become integral components of modern law enforcement and military operations in the region.

On the other hand, the increase in incidents of non-lethal weapons having an adverse effect on the bodies and subsequent demand by human rights groups to ban non-lethal weapons is acting as a growth dampener for this market. Restrictions on the use of non-lethal weapons and even outright prohibition in many countries are also hampering this Non-Lethal Weapons Market

Rising incidents of political violence and demonstrations are prompting governments worldwide to provide non-lethal weapons to the police and military personnel. This is a major growth factor for the Non-Lethal Weapons Market. The increased inclination of government agencies to deploy weapons that do not cause death while protecting the police and military against armed mobs is also driving the growth of this market. The proliferation of new technologies for non-lethal weapons is also fuelling the growth of this market in the forecast period.
