What Are The Current Leading Growth Drivers For Non-Lethal Weapons Market?
An increase in the degree of political disputes and civil unrest is propelling the growth of the non-lethal weapons (NLW) market going forward. Civil unrest refers to more than one person coming together in response to an event with the intent of causing a public disturbance. This includes riots, armed insurrection against the law, border violations, violent protests or disorder (but not peaceful demonstrations), arson, looting, and occupying institutional buildings. Political disputes, violence, and civil unrest have been rising globally, creating demand for protection systems such as non-lethal weapons. For instance, in June 2023, according to ReliefWeb, a US-based gateway to humanitarian information, the number of non-state conflicts rose from 76 in 2021 to 82 in 2022. Similarly, Africa has the greatest number of non-state wars, followed by the Americas. According to the research, the primary causes of this discomfort include increasing lockdowns, COVID-19 restrictions, and increased tensions due to economic turmoil. Therefore, increasing the degree of political disputes and civil unrest has contributed to the growth of the non-lethal weapons (NLW) market.

Non-Lethal Weapons Market Emerging Trends And Opportunities
Major companies operating in the non-lethal weapons market focus on introducing non-lethal low energy cartridge (LEC) systems to enhance operational effectiveness and reduce the risk of fatality during crowd control and law enforcement situations. The non-lethal low energy cartridge (LEC) system refers to a type of ammunition designed to incapacitate a target without causing permanent injury or death. These cartridges are typically used in firearms that are specially designed or adapted to fire non-lethal projectiles. For instance, in January 2022, KWESST Micro Systems Inc., a Canada-based Company, launched PARA OPS non-lethal low energy cartridge system. The LEC system utilizes a unique cartridge that operates without gunpowder, compressed air, or CO2. It employs a polymer projectile and a self-stabilizing configuration, ensuring accuracy while maintaining low energy levels. The cartridges are designed to fire projectiles at velocities and energy levels well below lethal thresholds, around 17 joules. This makes them suitable for situations where non-lethal force is necessary.
