Non-Lethal Weapons: A Great Way to Address Emergencies Without Bloodshed

Published: Apr 2024

The global non-lethal weapons market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is driven by the increasing civilian violence and various clashes with armed forces, the increasing security practices by the countries, and the increased rate of using non-lethal weapons instead of lethal weapons to enforce the law. For instance, the use of rubber bullets in closer shooting by the South African Police Service (SAPS) has led to a few mortalities. Also, the US is investing heavily in non-lethal weapons, and the US Defence Department program is also testing new arsenals that are non-lethal.
