(USGovernment-News.Com, November 16, 2018 ) The non-lethal weapons market is estimated to reach USD 8.37 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2015 to 2020. This growth can be attributed to rising political disputes and civil unrest, along with the increasing trend of militarization of law enforcement agencies, globally.
Law enforcement plays a vital role in the protection of right to life, safety and security of a person. The increasing demand for non-lethal weapons has resulted in the growth of the law enforcement segment at a comparatively higher CAGR during the forecast period, primarily owing to huge investments made by major players for the development of non-lethal weapons in applications such as riot control, cross border control, and many others.

This rapid growth of the Asia-Pacific market can be attributed to innovative technology solutions for non-lethal weapons and aiming to manufacture them at the lowest possible cost. The Asia-Pacific market is driven mainly by increasing investments in China, South Korea and India for the development of multifunctional non-lethal weapons in military as well as law enforcement applications.
