Market Overview:

Non-lethal weapons, also known as less-lethal weapons, less-than-lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons, compliance weapons, or pain-inducing weapons are weapons which are intended to be less likely to kill a living target than the conventional weapons such as firearms. Such weapons are primarily designed to disable human beings and to avoid fatalities. These weapons are used as an effective alternative for minimizing casualties during critical situations such as riots, civil unrest, combat situations, self-defense, and others.

The main factor driving the growth of global non-lethal weapons market is the shift in warfare tactics. Moreover, the rising demand for crowd control weapons during public riots/demonstrations, surge in the number of domestic crimes, and adoption of technologically advance solutions are also fueling the market growth. On the contrary, defence budget cuts, and government regulations & environmental concerns act as the major hurdles in the growth of the market. However, increasing budgetary expenses in military, and various R&D initiatives are expected to create huge opportunities for the growth of market in the coming years.
